Rainforest

Warehouse adventures. FROM FREE | PC SIMOGECKO.ITCH.IO/

Rainforest is a small game that puts you in the role of a stressedout employee in a warehouse owned by an Amazonesque online store. In this small arcadestyle game, you have to run frantically between conveyor belts spitting out packages of various sizes, before stacking them onto your trolley and pushing them to the appropriate shelving units. If a package falls to the floor before you get to it, there’s a good chance it’ll be damaged. If three packages are ruined, you will lose your job and, well, the game.

It’s not a complicated game, but to reach the peak of the high score table you’ll need to collect packages in a tactical order, filling every crevice on your trolley, like Tetris, before delivering them to the correct shelves in an expedient manner.

With only a single stage on offer, there isn’t much meat to Rainforest. Also, the tiny art assets can be difficult to read, making it tricky to differentiate the variously sized packages. It is at least an enjoyably barbed jab at a certain monopolistic online store. Simone Guggiari
