We make
games.

We’re 84boxes, a small independent game studio making colorful, low-poly games. City Services is our first co-op game, launching on Steam November 16. Bring a friend. There’s a couch to move.

Launching on Steam

City Services

You and your friends are the town’s public works crew. Dispatch calls in a pothole, a fallen tree, or a couch left on the curb. Pile into the truck and sort it out before the clock runs down.

Anything you break comes out of your paycheck.

1–6 players in the full game · Windows & Mac
Demo-hosted sessions: up to 4 players

I’ve added a few options to make City Services easier to read: bigger text and menus, a different set of crew colors, and better support for player names.
