Shipping & Handling is a cooperative multiplayer sandbox delivery game about moving through hostile environments while keeping a shared payload from damage until delivered!
You and your crew take on delivery runs across strange, dangerous spaces, dealing with terrain hazards, limited resources, and the chaos that comes from coordinating as a team. Stay alive and keep the delivery intact.
Core Gameplay
Players form a delivery crew and are tasked with delivering lost packages and transporting them to extraction points across large, hostile environments.
Scout routes and terrain
Collect cargo with varying sizes and weights
Transport cargo using silly tools, mounts, and physics-based interactions
Deal with hazards, enemies, and obstacles in clever and unique ways
Deliver successfully to earn rewards and unlock progression
Recover from failure when cargo is dropped, damaged, or lost
Each delivery can be completed multiple ways, but poor coordination or risky shortcuts can result in lost cargo and failed runs.
Online Multiplayer Co-op
Online cooperative multiplayer
Players coordinate movement, timing, and tool usage
Mistakes affect the entire team and create cascading problems
Solo play is possible, but the game is designed around emergent multiplayer situations
Traversal & Physics Systems
Physics-based balancing system
Vertical traversal including climbing, jumping, and sliding
Dynamic hazards such as unstable ground, environmental obstacles, hostile wildlife, and enemy robots attempting to steal deliveries
Cargo physically interacts with the world and players
Movement is intentionally physical and imperfect, creating unpredictable and often hilarious outcomes
Tools, Gear, and Mounts
Equip specialized tools to move cargo and navigate terrain
Deploy gadgets to create new paths and support your crew, including:
Ladders
Bridges
Grappling hooks
Healing hot tubs
Energy Drink Grenades
And more!

World & Tone
Stylized, low-poly, cartoony world

What Makes Shipping & Handling Unique
Shipping & Handling focuses on the act of co-op navigation through complex environments and active combat zones while keeping the payload safe from damage or theft.
The challenge comes from coordination, physical interaction, and route choice, creating unpredictable and memorable situations!
Shipping & Handling is being developed by a small independent team with experience working on large-scale multiplayer games, including developers who previously worked on Rec Room.
The game is currently in active development. Features, content, and scope may change as development continues.
