Harbor Dispatch

Prospectus

Take the controls in Harbor Dispatch, the colorful helicopter rescue game. Fly across coastal roads and island waters, pick up stranded people, and bring them safely to hospital. Upgrade your helicopter to carry more passengers and fly faster. How many people you can rescue in each five-minute shift?

How it plays

Fly with WASD or arrow keys, hold the mouse where you want to go, or drag on touchscreens. Release to brake. Stop inside rescue circles to pick people up, then land on H to deliver them. Visit fuel pads to refuel and service pads to buy upgrades. Rescue as many people as possible before your shift ends!

Opening an account with this game takes one press: Open the holding, above, and it loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first decision. It is drawn for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its instructions from mouse, keyboard or touch, as the game prefers. The file is drawn wide, for a landscape screen — turn a phone sideways, or let a tablet or desktop give it room to breathe. If a fullscreen control is offered, take it — a growing enterprise deserves the whole desk.

Harbor Dispatch — questions from the readership

What does it cost to open Harbor Dispatch?

Nothing, at any point. The holding is free from the first click to the last upgrade — no account to open, no download to wait for, no paywall filed anywhere in its pages. The advertising around this page is what pays the bookkeeping.

What kind of game is Harbor Dispatch, exactly?

We file it on the Driving shelf of the ledger. It is a browser game through and through — the prospectus above is the publisher's own summary of what the game asks of you and what it gives back.

Can I play Harbor Dispatch on a phone or tablet?

Yes — it runs in the browser on phones and tablets just as it does on a computer. The file is drawn wide, for a landscape screen — turn a phone sideways, or let a tablet or desktop give it room to breathe.

Is there anything to download or install first?

Nothing at all. Harbor Dispatch is an HTML5 game: press the open button and it loads on this very page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind on your device.
