About the Game

After the death of the C.E.Overlord, the factories kept making crates, the drones kept delivering them, and no one could shut it down. The supply chain has uncoiled: now merchandise outpopulates the people.

Four years later, the world is still piled with crates. And those few who live here, foraging on crate food,
well...
they don't get along too well.

Each arena is made of 100% crates, which means anything you can stand on can be used as a weapon. So be the last punk standing: Grab some friends and get in on some chaotic couch play with this clever game of crate action chess!
