Package Panic

People all over the world have placed orders from your employer's catalog, and they won't deliver themselves! The shipments are all packed up, but the order numbers got all mixed up. There's no time to go back and fix it, so you better figure out what's in the boxes quickly and send them out for delivery. Keep up or be fired. As they say, all good things never come to an end.

How to play

Packages can be dragged and dropped onto blue areas. Packages arriving in the package bay don't always match up with new orders, so you'll have to place each package on the scale. Order weights are listed on the order tickets. When you have a package with matching contents, drag it on to the matching order to deliver it. Correct deliveries award a point, but incorrect deliveries give a penalty. 

Theme

To capture the theme of the GMTK Game Jam 2024, "Built to Scale", we show a never-ending stream of orders you have to send out for delivery while taking massive orders to literal and absurd levels. If that wasn't enough scale, you get to use a weighing machine as well!
