# Tiny Crate

## What it does

- 36 rooms in five worlds (Workshop Floor, Boiler Room, Cold Storage, Loading Dock, The Attic),
  each one a single screen or a short scrolling room, unlocked in order.
- Mechanics: carry / throw / toss / drop / push crates; coloured switches that hold blocks solid
  and pop crates from hatches; spikes that hurt the player but not crates; one-way ledges; gates
  that seal into wall after something passes; bounce pads that launch anything (thrown crates keep
  their speed); one-tile crawlspaces that knock a carried crate off; hidden areas drawn as wall.
- Every room ships a built-in solution replay (press H) produced by a search over the game's own
  physics, so every room is provably solvable. Par times derive from those solutions.
- Ghost races: your best run in each room replays as a translucent ghost.
- A room editor: paint tiles, test-play, run the solver ("Check solvable"), save drafts in the
  browser, and share a room as a link (the whole room is encoded in the URL fragment).
- Remappable keyboard controls, gamepad support, touch controls, adjustable sound and music,
  reduced-motion and screen-shake options, save export/import.

## How to use it

Open https://tiny-crate.skillsafe.ai/ and press Play. Arrow keys or A/D run, Space jumps (hold
for height), E picks up a crate; E while running throws it, Up + E tosses it straight up, Down +
E drops it. R resets the room, Esc pauses, H shows the solution. Add `#room=2-3` to the URL to
jump to an unlocked room; `#e=...` links open shared rooms.
