Bucket Brigade

Close the claw, lift a toy, drop it in the dump truck, and tell yourself that's the last one. It won't be. Bucket Brigade puts you in charge of a little rescue convoy on a sunny beach, and that beach is a mess.

The kids have gone home and left toys and sandcastles behind. Now it's on you to clear the sand before the summer heat melts your plastic vehicles. You get three of them, each with its own job: the ambulance, the crane and the dump truck. Tap 1, 2 or 3 to swap between them, then put the right machine on the right problem.

The crane is the star. Rotate the cabin, tilt the arm with your mouse, then snap the claw shut on your target. It's a cozy little puzzler that sits happily among Casual Games, and it's built for 1 Player Games sessions on desktop. Free, in your browser, nothing to install.

Clear the beach of toys and sandcastles with your rescue convoy before the summer heat melts your plastic vehicles.

Press 1 for the ambulance, 2 for the crane or 3 for the dump truck. Drive with W and S. On the crane, use Q and E to rotate the cabin, move the mouse up and down to raise or lower the arm, left-click to close the claw and right-click to open it. Esc pauses the game or takes you back.

Playing with a gamepad? RT/R2 drives forward and LT/L2 reverses or brakes. Tip: line up the cabin with Q and E first, then fine-tune the arm.
