The deliveries varied in difficulty while some deliveries will have you walking a few hundred metres down a hill before depositing your package, others require you to use a jetpack to deliver your package to an airship floating in the sky. Many of the game’s deliveries are set up like puzzles and some obstacles can only be overcome by using a specific vehicle. Needless to say, if you have a friend who’s sitting in the back holding on to your precious package, there’s a lot more chance of it reaching its destination in one piece. When driving a vehicle, for example, it only takes one wrong move to topple it over and send your package flying. I first tested out the game on my own and, while I found it entertaining, it quickly became clear to me that it’s much more fun to share the laughter with others (not to mention the fact that some of the deliveries are significantly harder to complete on your own). Perhaps these moments of hilarity contributed to the fact that I found the game much more enjoyable when I was playing it with friends. Similarly to other physics games like Human Fall Flat, the wobbly avatars in Totally Reliable Delivery Service move slowly and clumsily, and a simple act like lifting up a box and trying to walk at the same time results in some hilarious moments of slapstick humour. With two keys to grab onto levers or lift boxes and an option to jump and roll, it’s easy to get used to the game’s controls but hard to use them effectively.

While the premise of Totally Reliable Delivery Service is straightforward, its simple controls are dangerously deceptive. The more deliveries you complete, the more vehicles and cosmetics you can unlock for your character. There are about one hundred and thirty deliveries to make in the game, and for each completed delivery you’ll get awarded either a gold, silver, or bronze achievement. The faster you can deliver your package, and the better its condition, the more points you receive when your delivery is complete. Sometimes you can only reach your delivery destination using one of the game’s unique vehicles, and other times you’ll have to collaborate with friends to make sure you can deliver a package without wrecking it completely.

The premise of Totally Reliable Delivery Service is simple: pick up a package at one of the many delivery machines on the map and deliver it to a different location.
