TIPS

- You can pick up the equivalent of 4 small boxes (for reference the big box is 4 small boxes)
- Try to put boxes in the part highlighted with yellow in the truck, everything that is in the truck but not the yellow area will be crushed by the door when the truck leaves
- Character gets healed based on how well they fill the truck, if you fail to meet the filling requirement (the red bar) you will take damage.
- Water is a limited resource and it heals 40 hp so be careful!
- You can stop the conveyor with the button for 10 seconds
-Throwing boxes after the truck has left will instantly destroy them.
- Have fun and try to find all the little secrets and easter eggs we put in the game!
