Weights and Crates (4K)
This is a fun little game I have made specifically at the last moment for the Reset Craptastic 2024 4K game compo. Although the competition started earlier on in the year, I was short of time to develop a few entries. So I have made only one for the compo.
A deluxe version is currently under production, consisting of music, better sprites and graphics and full presentation. Weights and Crates Deluxe will be posted as a new entry when finished. The deluxe version of the game plans to be launched in December 2024.
INSTRUCTIONS
You are a worker at an explosives factory. You have been sent outside to the water logged shipping yard, where you are operating a conveyor belt, with crates on board.
SCORING POINTS
For every crate that passes points are scored. Yellow crates give 100 points and red crates award 200 points. Landing on yellow crates will stun you for a bit.
LOSING LIVES
If you are pushed to the weak point of the red rollers, a fault occurs on the belt, resulting in you falling into the water.
If you land on red crates or get hit by falling 10 ton weights will result in an instant death.
Everytime you lose a life you will restart the current level in which you are on.
COMPLETING A LEVEL
To complete a level, the crate count in the status panel must equal to 000. Otherwise the game will continue playing - unless you lose a life or the game is over. There are 16 levels in total, which ranges in difficulty. The first level starts slow going, then as soon as you progress further the game will get even harder.
After level 4, a falling weight will appear on screen at random. Then on level 9, you'll see two. On level 13, the weights will fall faster.

Nice game. I also included it in my new "Gameplay of New C64 Games from September 2024" video as well as all the other recently released Commodore 64 games.
Thank you for your kind feedback and video. A full finished version will be released some time in December 2024. The enhancements will be starting from some time this week. Of course with the full version a fresh new page will be made specially for it.
Fun little game, Richard! Really enjoyed it. It reminds me Scare Bear for some reason :D. With these SFX I thought for a second it's actually done in SEUCK! Good luck with the compo as well :}.
Thank you. Although the sound effects did sound like SEUCK, they were actually not made using SEUCK. Instead I used a PC based application called Sid SFX V0.0.2, which can be found on itch :)
Ah, great! Love them!
Nice little game Richard !
