Moving Out is game about the joy of chucking things out the window

It's EGX 2019 weekend! Over the next few days we'll be bringing you quickfire impressions of some of the highlights from the show floor here at London's ExCel centre. You'll find them all here - and if there's anything out there you want to bring to our attention let us know!

Forget about the environment, for a minute - and your wallet - and imagine how fun it would be to just break everything you have and throw it away. Armchair? Out the window. Desk lamp? Yeet! Chaise longue? Chaise gone. Off the roof, out the door, down the stairs, no matter. Just be rid of it. This is Moving Out, a chaotic Overcooked-alike about picking up furniture from a building and hucking it onto a removal van with naught but the clock to worry about.

One to four of you can play, and as is always the case with these games, the more the merrier. There is a slap function and friendly fire is very much "On", so you will frequently stop a second just to stun your mates, because, well, I don't know - a bit like zapping someone in the back in Magicka, if you ever played it. But it's actually there to add a little bit more flavour to your obstacles: one level we played was a haunted house, complete with a garden ghost that's protecting a cardboard box and blocking a shortcut to a record time, until you distract or stun it out the way.
