About this game

Loader Larry turns a warehouse job into a sequence of small physical puzzles. Larry must reach the exit, but piles of boxes, walls, platforms and other objects get in his way. Moving a box can create a step, obstruct a landing or change which route remains possible.

Left and Right move Larry, Up jumps, and Down drops a box he is carrying. L places a ladder from his inventory, while T uses available TNT. Later objects include balloons, switches and fragile bridges; the original introduction explains how they behave. A restarts the current puzzle when a move leaves you stuck.

This is the 1.2 DOS shareware release with 20 rooms, not the 40-room registered edition. On a fresh start, use Enter to advance through the original introduction and registration notice, then accept Puzzle 1 in the selector. The package includes sample solutions for some early puzzles; it does not supply every registered-edition solution.

Quick tips

Up is the jump key. Space is not the jump control in Loader Larry.

Plan where a carried box will land before dropping it; a useful step can also block a route.
