Ship It!

“Ship It!” is a physics based packing game. You play the role of a new hire for a logistics company trying their best. The game jam version of this game contains 3 levels and an infinite mode. Pack as much as you can into the truck to earn positive ratings, which will let you attempt more difficult challenges.

Note, if you have any troubles with the embedded version, try out the downloadable Windows version as well. This game is heavily reliant on physics which may impact performance of the game.

How To Play

• Select your level from the level select screen. Some will only unlock after completing previous levels.
• Click and drag Objects into the truck. Force is applied from where you click on an object, so you can grab the edge to apply some torque.
• Pack as much as you can into the truck, and make sure that the red area is clear so that the doors can close.
• Press the “Ship It!” button to complete the level.
• Earn ratings based on the number of objects that you can fit into the truck. Earn three stars in each level by packing everything.

Perpetual Mode

• Once you have enough stars, you unlock perpetual mode.
• In this mode, objects will arrive constantly from the left of the screen until the time runs out.
• Pack as much as you can, and hit “Ship It” to clear the truck and raise your score.
• You will earn extra seconds on the clock based on the value of objects that you ship. In general, bigger objects are worth more.
• You will also earn a multiplier bonus based on the number of objects that you ship at once. Every 5 objects will raise this bonus by an additional .25x.
• Share your score at the end!
