Handle with Care is a game I made for a game jam running from 2024-07-12 to 2024-07-19, with the theme 0 Days Since Last Accident. You work in a Fulfillment Center stacking boxes for…reasons? That’s it, there’s no hidden reason, you’re just stacking boxes using a wobbly crane until they fall over and you have to restart.
Now that I’ve sold you on the game, you can play it online right in your web browser!
Requires a mouse+keyboard though, so I wouldn’t recommend trying to play it on mobile/touch yet.
While the game jam was a week long, I actually was making a different game for the first two days, which I got frustrated with and gave up on, called The Dark Machine. Originally it was supposed to be a dark twist on The Incredible Machine and point-and-click adventure, but I was having a lot of trouble coming up with ideas for additional content. I think it was also out of scope for a week: after a day and a half (one of which being a weekend day), I had completed just one level so far. So I decided to scrap it and create Handle with Care instead.
"Tippy Towers"? That was the original name of this project, but I like "Handle with Care" better. It’s less generic, but…more vague? I just thought it was funny.
You can check out the livestreams where I work on the game at Godot 4 Livecoding.
