While the game is best played in couch co-op that features two players, it features support for a single-player experience. Ready, Steady, Ship!'s key features include multiple tools and various solutions for the same levels.
Players will have one job, which is to rebuild the conveyor belts and get the goods flowing out of the factory properly. As they progress through, they will be given a variety of tools, equipment, and conveyor parts to overcome different challenges, according to Gematsu.
The game includes forklifts, cranes, springboard conveyor belts, packing foam dispensers, and many more unique tools. Players will have to creatively combine various equipment to try and ship all of the goods out of the factory.
If you think the first few levels of the game are weird, the factory just keeps getting more complicated as players progress through the game. Some of the levels will include acid pools (which probably did not pass safety checks), space vacuums, and rooftop gaps. The factory itself will grow ever more challenging in the long run.

Ready, Steady, Ship! is a couch co-op game that was built around responsive yet simple controls that make it so that anyone can quickly and easily learn to join in on the chaotic fun, said VGChartz.
