About Drift Dispatch
Drift Dispatch is a small, original river puzzle about one well-timed brake. You aim and launch a delivery boat from upriver, let the current carry it, and tap once to brake so it stops gently inside a striped dock. Rocks sink the boat, eddies and currents pull it off course, barges and lock gates block the way, and log booms slow it down. Every delivery can earn up to three marks: first try, a gentle landing and an optional floating parcel.
Drift Dispatch in the browser
The game was submitted by its publisher, Dayplay Games, and runs on its own site. The main route has 46 deliveries, and a daily run of three asks for the fewest launches. It is free with no ads or purchases, and delivery stamps are saved in your browser. You can play with touch, a mouse or the keyboard, and pause or retry any delivery.

Tips for Drift Dispatch
- Brake early rather than late: the boat keeps drifting a little after you tap.
- Watch the current arrows; aim upstream of the dock so the river carries you in.
- Log booms only slow you down, but rocks sink the boat, so give them room.
- Go for the floating parcel only once you can land the delivery cleanly.
