About Vira!!!

Vira!! is a DOS puzzle game where the player operates a crane to load cargo onto a boat. The primary objective is to maintain the vessel's equilibrium within a 500 second time limit for each stage.

Gameplay involves using the crane to lift, rotate, position, and finally place goods that vary in their physical properties. Progress is saved between sessions, allowing players to resume any of the three distinct campaigns. These campaigns introduce specific rule sets, altering the challenge by modifying cargo shapes, weights, and the required boat fill level.

Successfully finishing a level triggers an animated sequence before advancing to the next. The campaign structure provides a fair progression of challenges, from handling identical shapes with different weights to managing varied shapes and eventually requiring a full boat load.
