The process for picking a ship captain has always been purely political, and as such the captain of this ship is an incompetent buffoon. Your job, whether you like it or not, is to help the captain escape his ship at whatever costs necessary. Simply click on a crew member to make them run, and click them again to make them stop - but look out for the space bear traps!
This game is really fun! My favorite part about it was how intelligently each new mechanic was introduced. Unlike many other jam games, the difficulty curve of your game was balanced perfectly. I can tell a lot of thought went into your level designs. Good job!
Great puzzle game! The levels were fun and packed with good mechanics. My main gripe with the game was that as the levels went on, they slowly got more and more buggy.
Awesome game, and amazing use of theme. I did find two bugs, though. Guys can get stuck on the retractable stairs, and when they bump into other guys, they start moonwalking all over the place. They can also moonwalk if they bump under weird circumstances.
Very well made and very well put together. The puzzles were punshing in the good way (if I made a mistake I usually learned why and adapted). This was really good, I'm impressed it was made in only a weekend lol. Good stuff.
@toast-toaster Yeah that was one of my favorite bugs and we couldn't figure it out before the deadline. Another good one was that unpausing would resurrect corpses, we fixed that one though.
I really like the Star Trek-esk theme. The roles of each crew type were relatively easy to understand the mechanics behind them. Good job, I had a ton of fun!
I enjoyed a lot! I couldnt pass a level after the elevator ones, the one with 2 stairs, 1 blue button, 1 blue 1 red 1 yellow character. It would be good to write the level names/numbers for each level :)
The game plays, but I can't see the people, although I can click them (and they move, I finished the first two levels half blind). Firefox 63.0.3 on Linux. :-(
So I finished all 15 levels. This is probably the most complete and best game I've played this LD. And we share theme interpretation :) Good luck to you and your team!
As a trekie, I approve! The glass level, my captain died and my ensign was left alive unable to board the escape pod... stupid ensign... clueless what to do without a captain... (might of been a bug :)) great game!
Pretty awesome. Creative puzzles that are just challenging enough. The pixel art is pretty decent but the gameplay is great! Love the creative use of the theme.
Really cool game! I liked how well each new puzzle element was introduced. I did get stuck on level 11 because the blue and red crew at the bottom would get stuck moving up the stairs.
This was fun, and well star trek, you either love it or hate it, and i despise anyone who would even think of hating it.... tehehe
But fur cereal dough... this was a well polished, fun, challenging game with pretty good use of the theme, and a great progression... it took me a bit before i realized i could pan the level, you know, not reading directions and all...
Live long and prosper!(and make some more fun games while your at it)
@acuriosity That's a good point about not knowing how to pan. Bet you didn't know that R is restart either? That's definitely an issue with the game and one that'll try and get next time. Although I am a big fan of how @zebshee tutorialized all of the actual puzzle mechanics in the level design.
Nice puzzle game! I managed to beat all 15 levels, although I did have some difficulty on a couple of them. Like the others, I also ran into quite a few physics bugs. Not sure if I'll include this in my Play & Improve series yet, but if I do I'm probably going to re-implement the physics to be more consistent.
@frenchie If you do that'd be awesome. The physics bugs were our biggest issue. The elevator fixes should be pretty easy but the buggy stair collides are a whole other beast.
Fun game! Nice level designs, makes you think about where each guy needs to be before you start moving them. A couple physics bugs are inevitable in a platforming jam game, but the levels are so short and accessible that they don't really matter. Also had nice sounds and decent graphics

That was a fun little diversion. Very gruesome. XD

I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.

@saoi-games Thanks for the video, it's unfortunate none of us were there live. Also unfortunate that you got stuck on that bug.
@ldgamer-43 2D is, in general, a better style for puzzle games. Also our 3D artist wasn't available this jam and none of the rest of us are artists.
