Welcome back aboard the Underpacked! spaceship! 🚀
We’re back with another weekly transmission from the operations center at Drunken Duck Co.
This time, we want to talk about something crucial for any interstellar delivery shift:
Who’s sharing the ship with you?
In Underpacked! you can face interplanetary chaos in two main ways:
Local co-op mode
Play with a friend on the same device. Split up the tasks, cover each other, and coordinate your moves to survive a shift full of stress, enemy attacks, urgent deliveries, and impatient customers.
Solo mode with Jul.IA
Prefer to play alone? No problem!
Jul.IA, our integrated AI companion, will be right there with you: she automatically detects the ship’s needs, prioritizes tasks, and helps you keep everything running (mostly) smoothly.
And when you assign her a specific task, Jul.IA communicates using emoji speech bubbles to clearly show what she’s about to do: recharge a generator, prepare a package, defend the ship…
She doesn’t speak (yet), but she gets the message across just fine.
And yes, Jul.IA is probably more organized than you.
She doesn’t judge (out loud), but she always knows what the ship needs before you do.
Curious to see how Jul.IA works and how the co-op system came to life?

It’s in Spanish, but we’ve added subtitles so no one misses how Jul.IA learned to do (almost) everything without complaining.
Before we go, don’t forget to check out our previous logbooks:

Thanks for sticking with us for another week.
See you in the next logbook… or in the ammo bay, where Jul.IA just sent a suspiciously passive-aggressive emoji.
