About the Game

Shipping is a hectic co-op game inspired by one of the most iconic arcade games about peculiarly shaped rectangles that you can play with up to three of your friends.

As a warehouse employee it is your job to bring the incoming packages to the delivery zone. Hey! Who moved the zone again? And did it just become bigger? Actually how on earth do these boxes fit in that tiny van?? Wait, I have never seen those kinds of boxes before.... And now I can punch them???

Well never mind that, grab a friend... or two... or three and see how far your team can get in this hectic box pushing little game about sipping as many products as possible. Careful, friends may turn into frenemies in all the mayhem and screaming as you try to come up with strategies, just for one of them to do the exact opposite.

Just like in the classics you are tasked with moving shapes into designated areas where they disappear. Your goal is to make more space for incoming blocks, because if you overflow, then it is Game Over for you! With ever increasing speeds you’ll be challenged to solve the logistics of packing patterns as compact as you can.

Travel around the world and explore unique levels, which put a spin on the classic design of the stage. Each of these maps need a different workaround, and require new strategies and more and more coordination with your friends! Brace for the crushing Rock Fall or hectic Block Rush because they might just break you!

Speaking of breaking, you’ll need to break some blocks apart. We all know how hard it is to juggle a zig-zag around, so let’s divide it into smaller pieces! You have a personal grudge against a pattern? Get rid of it! Your friends tasked you with holding down the line? Pass some blocks over to them! Shipping has your back and gives you a solution for every problem when it comes to handling hunks of color.

We believe game development is a craft, an art form, and to that end no Generative AI was used in any part of the creative process, and the resulting game.
