Package Panic

The world's busiest shipping warehouse is completely automated. Except for you. Packages pour in from every belt, and every one needs something — tap to scan, swipe to tape, hold the fragile ones steady, flick them into the right truck, drag chilled goods to the cold room, and shred the counterfeits before they ship. Every gesture takes one second to learn. Surviving the morning rush is another story. THIS JOB HAS A LADDER. Clear 60 career levels, earn stars for flawless shifts, and climb from Temp to VP of Logistics. Every rank raises your pay. Fail too many shifts and you're facing a performance review — the union can only save you so many times. SHOW UP EVERY DAY. Perfect attendance earns sick days. Miss work and they burn automatically. Run out, and HR notices. (A doctor's note can save your streak. We won't ask questions.) THE WAREHOUSE FIGHTS BACK. Holiday rushes, package avalanches, power outages, Peak Day floods, and customs inspections where everything gets checked twice. Golden VIP shipments you cannot lose. It never plays the same shift twice. FOR THE BRAVE. Sign the No-Union Contract. Double pay. One failed shift and you're fired — career wiped, locker cleared. Plus: endless mode with escalating chaos, a collection of belt and package skins, warehouse themes, adaptive music that heats up with your combo, and daily deliveries just for clocking in. No energy bars. No lives. No forced ads. Lose, and your next shift starts immediately. The packages never stop. Neither do you.
