Carmine Wharf

Carmine Wharf is a quiet sky-harbor crossing. A balloon waits on the dock above a red cloud sea. Fixed buoys hang in the sky, and open ribbons join some of them. Red gusts have closed the other ribbons.

The player taps buoys to lay one line from the dock. Each new buoy must share an open ribbon with the end of that line. Gold buoys have to be visited before the line may finish. The line ends on the beacon. Launching sends the balloon along the ribbon that was laid. A line that stops short, skips a gold buoy, or tries to cross a closed ribbon does not arrive. When the balloon does arrive, the next stretch of the harbor is waiting, with a different set of closed ribbons and gold buoys.

The crossing is a route the player draws. It is not a race, not a contest for wagers, and not a request for payment.
