Gameplay

''Totally Reliable Delivery Service'' gameplay consists of 1-4 players working together using various methods to deliver packages from a starting location to highlighted areas on the map. These methods include hand delivery, vehicles, trampolines, and rocket ships. The difficulty of the game comes from battling the chaotic nature of ragdoll physics and the limitations of only being able to hold one object in each hand. Teamwork is encouraged as players are rewarded for successful package deliveries. Players need to deliver the packages carefully, as significant damage can cause the package to explode. Players cannot die in the game unless they fall into water.
