About

I interpreted the theme as 'Running, out of space', where by the user is trying to escape a space station.

The game is best played with 2 or more people, only keyboard and mouse is supported.

Gameplay

The game requires 2 or more players. One player is the astronaut on the space station, all other players play as ground control support members. The astronaut is faced with a randomly generated map containing puzzles between their start point and the escape pod they must reach. The support team have a top down view of the space station as well as documentation required to solve the puzzles. Players must work together to help the astronaut escape safely.
