The shipping, stacking, packing game!

Enter the exciting world of precision cargo container packing. Each round you are tasked with filling and shipping a full container with cargo. It is possible to fully fill every container with the cargo provided. Click and drag the cargo into the container. You may rotate the camera, but not the pieces. The bigger the piece the higher the value.

RULES: - Ship containers to increase your score - You must fill each container to at least 50% - Fill to 75% for a 2x multiplier - Fill to 100% for a 10x multiplier - The bigger the cargo, the higher the value. - Cargo that sticks out of the container does not count - You have 5 minutes

CONTROLS: - CLICK & DRAG to move cargo - Q & E to rotate the camera - SPACE to SHIP the container - R to RESET with new cargo - ESCAPE to quit

This is some hardcore tetris. I think this game was the best take on the tetris formula I have ever seen.

Very cool game! The use of the theme is great, and I love the mechanics/play for this. It's very fun to try and find that perfect piece and fit it in there to get the highest multiplier.

I'd love to have some music and sound in it, and perhaps an infinite mode, where you don't have the stress of the clock.. just the zen feeling of fitting a 100% perfect container.

Excellent work overall!

this was a challenge! great concept and I fun to play. Sounds would have made feedback of placing tiles a lot easier. Great job overall!

I love this 3D tetris :3
Actually fun, and time limit makes it pretty challenging as well.
But... um... a slowpoke unlimited mode would be damn great ^^

Nicely polished and enjoyable!

In addition to music and the sounds others have suggested, putting a ticking sound on the clock could increase the suspense/stress, getting slightly louder as the time decreases.

Reminds me very much of packing for moving. I like the sense of mastery you get as you start to develop better ways of packing the container quickly and effectively (start with large pieces, etc). The controls are intuitive, and the game is fun to play. Nice work!

I liked it and I did manage to get the 2x Bonus! Really cool game, however I would like some audio...

Had much fun with this game. We planned something similar first but decided against it because of the complexity. So hats off to you! Really enjoyed playing it. Nice entry.

Usually I wouldn't recommend adding a timer to a puzzle, but strangely it works here. Allowing two ways to rack up points (go for one 100% container or multiple 50% containers) is clever. Not sure if the numbers quite add up with that massive 10x multiplier.

Solid visuals. The container looks like the real deal, but does get in the way at times. More transparency or a *hide crate* button would do. Some of the bits and doodads are spread out outside the camera view, only visible from certain angles. Kind of annoying having to relocated pieces, wasting time in the beginning.

A *reset from the beginning* button would be much appreciated taken that I prefer to go for the 100%. Tried multiple times without success, refreshing the whole page to save some time. Will be coming back until I get it!

Good work!

Overall: *Good (4.0)*
Fun: *Great (4.5)*
Innovation: *Good (4.0)*
Theme: *Good (4.0)*
Graphics: *Good (4.0)*

Really cool puzzle game. It felt really intuitive to play, and unlike a lot of 3d tetris type of games didn't feel frustrating! Thanks for sharing your game with my stream awhile back. Your game was played around 5:16 into this vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/299401837
