Making its debut announcement at PAX South this year at the tinyBuild booth was a new game about the trials and tribulations of getting packages to their destinations. Totally Reliable Delivery Service is a ragdoll physics simulation for up to four players and plays like a party game multiplayer version of Crazy Taxi only with packages instead of people.
The basic goal of the game is simple. Pick up a package, and get it to its destination within the time limit. Players have an array of vehicles at their disposal to get this done faster, or they can simply walk the package along. The left analog stick on the controller handles movement, the right stick controls the camera, the left and right triggers control the left and right arms, respectively (more specifically, they control whether the arms are grabbing/holding something), and other buttons control things like the gas pedal on vehicles.
Delivering packages using an umbrella-ella-ella-a-a-a.
All this means that tasks should be pretty simple. Except for those ragdoll physics. Picking up a box is easy. Successfully hurling said box into the back of a truck, not so much. Successfully keeping a box that desperately wants to jump out of the moving truck and go bouncing back down the hill that you and your friends have laboriously made your way up over the past minute is even more difficult. It makes for a lot of frantic shouting, pointing, and chaotic fun, and then someone gets run over with a golf cart.
Totally Reliable Delivery Service is scheduled to be released for PCs via Steam on July 15th, 2019. Interested gamers can wishlist the game now, sign up for the Alpha on the official website, and of course follow tinyBuild on Twitter for further updates.
