Too Many Crates (Mobile Jam '22)

Author Comments

controls: tap/mouse


total size 4MB so fast loading time


Tap to drop a Crate, Breaker (AKA Worker), or Fireball.

Crates have levels: Wood, Plastic, Steel, Double.

Drop Breakers (red or green guys) to reduce the level of crates in their column. Breaking a wood crate destroys it and gives a coin!

Drop a Fireball to destroy the top 3 crates in a column. Fireballs do not give coins.


The objective; get as many coins as possible, and complete the goals shown at the bottom of the screen.

also AAAAAAAAAAAA NOO NOOO NOOOO!!!!

Like the others have mentioned, I think half the game here is just figuring out *how* to play. I think I eventually got the gist of it - each block has a lifetime - starts with gray, cycles to yellow, then brown, then it's gone and gives you a coin. The workers advance everything in their column by at least one step in the cycle. Then there are a few special ones, like the red outline block that squishes everything in its path. That's about right, right?

Once that clicked, I got into a better rhythm with the game. All in all, I dig it! (Oh, and that song is so, so catchy.)

I have no idea what I'm doing other than having figured out that amogus kills blocks (gradually) and blocks kill amogus (not so gradually). Yet, like plufmot, I oddly find needing to figure out wtf is going on somehow enjoyable in some sort of twisted way.

But I'd def recommend adding some sort of instructions, at least to the author comments (although I admit I'm among the 99.95% of NewGrounds users that never reads them).

This game is not the best. But for some reason I'm drawn to it. It reminds me of playing games when I was a child and having no idea what I was doing, I was just having fun. Although this probably wasn't the intended reaction, thank you for making this!
