Cargo Drop – Drop Cargo Onto Moving Pads
Cargo Drop puts a small ship at the top of the screen. Slide it left and right, then press Space to release one package at a time toward the green platform skating below. Land on the pad to score; miss and you lose one of three lives.

About this game
Only one cargo is in the air at once—wait for it to resolve before the next drop. Successful hits nudge the platform faster and trim its width, so later landings need tighter leads. R resets score, lives, and platform motion when the run ends or you want a fresh start.

Common use cases
- Practice leading a moving target with timed vertical drops from a sliding ship.
- Play short accuracy runs where each hit makes the next catch harder.
- Use a three-life budget to learn release timing before the pad gets too narrow.
Tips
- Release slightly ahead of the platform’s travel direction so the cargo meets it on the way down.
- After a hit, expect a faster, thinner pad—do not reuse the same early-game lead.
- You cannot drop while cargo is already falling; wait for a hit or miss to free the next package.
FAQ
How do I drop cargo in Cargo Drop?
Move the ship with arrows or A/D, then press Space. One package falls at a time.
How do I score?
The falling cargo must land on the moving green platform. Each clean hit adds one point.
Why does the platform change?
Every successful drop makes it a bit faster and a bit narrower, raising the difficulty.
How many lives do I have?
Three. Missing the platform costs one life; at zero you get game over and can press R.
