The night shift has started at the Stackyard warehouse — and the crane has gone rogue. Kranky drops crates faster and faster, and you're the only worker on the floor. Push crates, clear full rows, match colors and don't get buried under the collapses. A love letter to the classic crate-stacking arcade of the 2000s. HOW IT WORKS • Push crates to build full rows — full rows ship out and score points. • Match 4 crates of one color — they collapse for bonus points. • Collapses chain into combos, and the score multiplier grows. • The faster you play, the faster Kranky gets. FOR THE FUN OF IT • 6 power-ups: freeze the crane, drill through the stack, call the joker... • An upgrade after every shift: double jump, double slot, more bonuses • Crane modifiers on every stage: double drops, rusty crates TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Run — the full game: power-ups, upgrades, shifts and stages • Classic — the 2003 experience: just you, the crane and gravity FAIR GAME • Free to play, with a single optional purchase to remove ads • Works offline, no account needed • 11 languages Clock in. The crates won't stack themselves.
