In this clever action-puzzle title, players maneuver a tipsy relative toward safety using a sturdy crane mechanism. The objective centers on gently transporting the inebriated fellow to a nearby seat, navigating obstacles with precise control. On the screen's right edge, simple buttons handle lateral shifts, vertical descents, and timely drops, mimicking the satisfying rhythm of arcade claw machines. With 38 distinct levels, the experience unfolds gradually, each one building on clever mechanics to maintain fresh engagement. Beyond the standard bench drop-offs, inventive scenarios emerge: picture securing the uncle atop a wandering elephant for a bumpy procession, or harnessing a trampoline's bouncy rebound to propel him across gaps. These twists demand strategy, blending timing with physics-based problem-solving to avoid mishaps like awkward spills or missed landings. Success hinges on earning three stars per stage, rewarding flawless execution amid escalating complexities—windy gusts, moving platforms, and erratic behaviors from the cargo itself. Master all levels at peak performance, and bonus challenges unlock, revealing even more absurd yet gratifying puzzles. Ideal for short sessions or extended play, the game captivates through its blend of humor and ingenuity, turning everyday clumsiness into triumphant feats. Whether tackling a single stage or the full roster, the satisfaction of nailing that perfect grab keeps players hooked, one hoist at a time.
