Take the place of a dockworker in a warehouse, where your goal is to receive items, and stack them in boxes in a Tetris-style puzzle minigame. Then, ship the boxes out. The more efficient you stack the boxes, the higher your score.
In either a timed mode, or and endless mode. pick up boxes from the arriving trucks, and either place them on the floor, or in the box. Place the puzzle pieces such so that a minimum amount of them fits in the box. Pack the box and sent it to the pallets to ship it off.

There's lacking some snapping, so it's a bit hard do choose the placement for the boxes.
The controls sems to be a bit lacking, but it's a funny prototype!
The packing mechanics is fun to play, but with the control difficulty it's hard to do things fast.
it took me a minute to figure out that i have to use the Space button, and that the Backspace tooks me back from the box thingy ngl :sweat_smile:
also for the other testers here, if you open the game from this link its a little less laggy
files.jam.host/embed/$380078/23798/index.html
the music is also very fun, goodjob :smile:
Other than that - solid interpretation of the theme, good job!
I agree with other commenters saying it should be more obvious which tile we're interacting with in the main game. I managed to soft-lock myself by placing 4 tiles around me while holding a box.
