I really couldn't figure out the second puzzle. How do I get the engineer to the second control panel?

Sorry about that. I created a hints section above. It should probably help with your issue!

Good game with nice graphics, and cool ending :)

The third puzzle is a bit hard since we can't always see the consequence of activating a panels, a camera cut to the opening/closing door could help maybe.

Hooray for point and clicks! Enjoyed this game, felt a little "The Cave" inspired. The ending tie-in to the theme felt a little forced, but good job on puzzle design!

Nice game! I like the way you integrated the theme, and the puzzles were good without being unbearably challenging. I especially liked the music. I agree with khahem--didn't get at first that one of the panels opened a door but only temporarily.

Loved the puzzling and the music and the funky animations. Missing a final graphic for the final thingy - you know what I mean (no spoilers).

This is awesome, i did not really understand what it had to do with the theme, but the game was great. Nice graphics, I loved the puzzles and I would definetly like to see a longer version of the game! Good Job!

CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL!!11

Decent game. Reminds me of The Lost Vikings with each character having to fill a specific role.

Difficulty seems to ramp quickly but overall I found this super enjoyable. Really great art-style :)
