Syndicate: Car Containers!
You're in charge of a busy loading dock, and your job is to pack vehicles into containers as efficiently as possible. The catch? Space is tight, and each type of vehicle takes up a different amount of room. You'll need to look at the shapes and sizes of cars, trucks, and motorcycles, then rotate and position them to squeeze in the maximum value per shipment. It's a satisfying spatial puzzle that rewards careful planning and quick thinking.

Can I rotate vehicles?

Is there a timer?
There's no strict timer, but you'll want to work efficiently to earn a high score and avoid getting stuck.
Do different vehicles give different rewards?
Yes, larger vehicles typically pay more, but they also take up more space, so you need to balance size and value.
Are there power-ups or bonuses?
