"Super Crate Box" is a fast-paced, pixelated game where the goal is to collect as many crates as possible while defeating enemies. This user-created mod introduces local and online multiplayer for up to 4 players, with some portions of the code reused from the creator's existing projects. However, a stable internet connection, low latency, and port forwarding are required for online play. This free, experimental mod is not affiliated with Vlambeer and is designed to run on Windows systems, with potential support for Mac/Linux in the future.

The gameplay is described as fun and engaging, though it presents a significant challenge, as one player struggled to complete level 1 on normal mode after over an hour of play.
“I really like this game; the gameplay is fun, but I haven't beaten level 1 yet on normal mode after playing for more than an hour.”
