Enjoyable little puzzler! Fits the theme well, and I didn't encounter any bugs! A really nice level of challenge as it took a few goes to pass most levels. Well done!

Nice puzzle game, it reminds of Chip's challenge and the likes just with more characters. Puzzles are well designed and visual + audio style goes well together with the gameplay. Sometimes I wish I had an overview over the map so it's not trial and error. Overall, I liked it :)

Really solid game you've got here. Could use a minimap or a better camera, but had a fun time with it!

Really felt like I was sacrificing team mates... I was always hesitant to flip the switch! Great work, very complete and satisfying effort.

Wow, this was a surprisingly well put-together puzzle game. The last level really had me stumped for a while (I almost thought maybe you'd accidentally made the game unbeatable for a good 5 minutes or so)! That music just goes so well with the theme of the game, and the theme of the game goes so well with the theme of the jam.

I'm playing this because you submitted it to be a part of my Play & Improve series, but I'm honestly having difficulty thinking of what I'd even do. The only usability problem that bugged me was that I had to press 'P' before 'R' to restart! Other than that, it's really the graphics that need the most improvement and I'm a terrible artist. I don't think you need a minimap or a better camera - there was only one place where I couldn't see what I needed (bottom of the last level). I'm not great at designing puzzles and you've already got some great levels in here. I'm stumped! Is there anything you wish you could have done that I could take a stab at? If not, I'll think more on it...

Fun game, reminds me a lot of portal's co op. Music fits this really well, it feels like some sort of elevator music, very calm anyway. Level design is cool too, but sometimes i'd like to see all the characters at the same time, because sometimes the levels are so large, that when switching characters, i don't know where i am anymore. Great work!

Challenging level design, great puzzles.

Cool puzzle game, maybe add a view where you can see the entire level? Some of the larger levels it became quite hard to orientate yourself when switching characters. Also the movement was a little wonky and I think it could be improved to be more precise. Overall decent puzzles, some that were actually quite a challenge. Cool concept. Well done!

Hi there,

These are great puzzles!
Thank you for this nice game!

one remark:
* puzzle 2 & 3 are actually the same solution so it was not that engaging. I'm happy I tried the levels after that anyway because they were again fun to solve!
If you enjoy puzzles like this definitely try our game as well!

Interesting! Always a fan of a nice puzzle game. The concept was a bit brutal for my tastes, but the puzzles were nice in a Chip's Challenge -esque way. Very solid!

Well done puzzles! I'm also terribly amused by the idea of a corporate team building exercise resulting in the death of some of the employees.

Great puzzles, very original take on the theme
