In Crazy Cargo, the player takes control over a small rackety plane and is tasked with picking up cargo items and later on dropping them at their destination, all while controlling the plane's flight direction by manipulating, sorting, stacking and balancing the position of the items in it's cargo hull.

Placing items at the hull's front, will cause the plane to dive down, while placing items at the hull's rear will cause the plane to rise up.
