Time to Crate

"Time to Crate" is an incremental platformer/survivors-like/arcade/dating sim/jrpg love story. You're a circular saw. There are crates. Destroy them. Jump. Bump. Ground pound. Get the money. Buy upgrades. Become stronger. Ridiculously stronger. Do it again. And again. And again. Time. To. Crate.

About the Game

SHRED CRATES. EARN COINS. FIND LOVE

Every coin is earned through active play.

Dash, jump and fall to shred as many crates and grab as much coins as possible before time runs out. Then spend your hard-earned fortune on upgrades that make you faster, sharper, bigger, and significantly more dangerous.

Then go back and destroy more!

EXPLOSIVE INCREMENTAL PROGRESSION

Buy upgrades!

Move faster. Jump higher. Hit harder. Unlock totally new actions and abilities. Turn a clumsy little saw into a crate-shredding catastrophe. Every upgrade change the way you play.

Explore metroidvania-like castle filled with upgrades, locked doors and hidden secrets. Use your growing movement abilities to reach rooms that were previously out of your grasp.

THE GAME KEEPS CHANGING

Just when you think you understand Time to Crate, the game changes completely. It refuses to remain the same.

One moment you are dashing through an action platforming level. The next, you are fighting through survivors-like chaos or bouncing around a Pong-like arena with extremely violent intentions.

Each chapter starts the progression from scratch. Learn the rules, buy ridiculous upgrades, break everything—and prepare for the rules to change again.

LOVE HURTS

All this destruction has a purpose.

Somewhere beyond the locked doors and piles of sawdust waits the beautiful Crate Princess. Unfortunately, reaching her requires carving your way through an entire kingdom of her wooden subjects.

Love hurts. Especially if you are a crate.

FINISHED THE STORY? KEEP SHREDDING

After the campaign, enter an alternative roguelike mode that remixes unlocked arcade modes, upgrades, enemies, quotas, and perk choices into repeatable runs.

Build ridiculous combinations, chase greater rewards, and find out how much destruction one relationship really needs.
