great look and feel and use of the theme at that! The switching mechanic was a great idea! I did find myself getting stuck but overall great job!
If you have a chance please check out and rate my team's entry "Beatdown Breakdown Boomtastic" : https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928162 It's a rhythm-based brawler!
Cool puzzle game, I do think that you move a bit slow, but apart from that, it is cool, well done!
Nice puzzle game. I like the sci-fi element, the graphics, and the puzzle with teamwork feature.
I feel the movement speed is a little too slow, it feels like it takes forever to get to one end to the other. Also, the box building seem kinda glitchy, I somehow managed to glitch myself into a wall, lol.
But all in all, good work!
Thank you for keeping sfx a little lower than the music. It bothers me a lot when I adjust volume for music only to have a blaring sfx. I liked the concept but I had trouble understanding how each character worked before I read the description page. Even after I did I still couldn't pick up boxes with the strong guy using shift. Also when I tried to throw the other characters he only threw them left for some reason? The music was chill but maybe too chill for your challenge level? I did have to get used to "jumping" with a fan and using spacebar to swap characters but I did enjoy the experience. I would recommend moving them a little faster though :)
Thanks for the suggestion! Glad that you liked it.
Very interesting concept! It goes very nice with the theme. Graphics aren't so good, but audio is really really good. Puzzles are hard but still not boring. Also no tutorial in the beginning (still "epic gamers" like me would ignore it anyways). This game has a lot potential in puzzle games community. Good job!
Very fun puzzles!
Really interesting concept. I'm sorry you guys had trouble on the build you got uploaded. The puzzles seem really cool from the level I played. I did have a few bugs like the tinker building the box immediately instead of waiting for me to place it, unless that was intended. Also my players got stuck on the fans in the lower level.
Overall pretty good use of the theme and interesting game.
Thanks, for your review! The tinker was indeed, supposed to place the box after collecting the fourth one, it is part of the level design :) Glad you liked it!
I tried the updated version, but it had a glitch where I couldn't move the box.
Oh really? Where? For more information, the box isn't really easy to use: First you have to be sure that any other player is just next to the box, then gain one frame of momentum with A/D and press shift when you are against the box. We know it isn't very handy :/ Thanks for trying though :)
It happened to me in the beginning. I'll give it another go!
Hi everyone! Thanks to all of you that tested our game. Many of you have told us we should include a tutorial because it is a bit hard to understand. We actually did but we had a little problem when we released the game, a debugging variable to test the game without redoing all levels each time have been forgotten to be removed. It basically skipped the tutorial and some levels. So, if there is something you are not sure of or if you wanna play more of the game, here is the link to the game without this variable. https://www.mediafire.com/file/ks2ld2f3n7cwc01/SpacExit.zip/file You can see on the link that is has been uploaded only a few minutes after the deadline. Indeed, when we sent the game to a friend for him to try it we realised it did not start where planned, so we uploaded the game on Mediafire right away. From all four of us, we hope you will have the best experience possible in our game. Also, do not hesitate to ask questions or watch the video on the game's page. If you have any problem we would be glad to help :)
Thanks again for all your lovely messages!
Looks great, fantastic concept and interpretation. I do think some form tutorial or explanation is needed. Did take a while to understand what to do.
The different characters each having their own abilities and stuff is extremely cool. But it was a bit harder to understand what to do and my box builder glitched through a wall. The levels look great though and I loved the sprite design.
I love the idea with the diffrent characters. But I would have loved it even more if there was more ingame explanation. So that I wold have known what to do, how to control and whats the goal. I read the explanation on the game side, but never the less had a bit struggle. A marker which character is active would have been great, too.
But I really loved the level design!
And my tinder guy glitched a bit around after building boxes, not sure if that was intendet :D
First of all, the game is really unclear on what you have to do. There are no controls told, and there's no tutorial at all. Since I didn't understand what was going on, I cant really say anything else, except the artwork is very nice. If you don't mind, please rate my game as well. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928727
Hey, sorry you did not understand. We have done a dummy mistake, we forgot to get rid of a debugging variable before uploading the game, which resulted in the skipping of few levels and the tutorials ones. If you want to, we have a link on our game page to download the game with the firsts levels. However, if you sadly, don't want to, there is some quick text explanation on the said page. Hope you'll enjoy the game!
Sorry couldn't understand how to play the game, Definitely needs a tutorial to help the players learn the mechanics.

Sure, I had a similar issue with my Web build so I made a separate page with just the web build for anyone that couldn't get the Mac version working (Windows version works fine). Link me the new page and ill give it another go
https://www.mediafire.com/file/ks2ld2f3n7cwc01/SpacExit.zip/file Thanks man, hope you'll like it!
Great game and interesting and challenging level design. The characters move a bit slow in my opinion. But I had fun!
I got stuck and couldn't move, and I feel there's a lot of things you could improve upon. Like the art. Well done, nonetheless.
Hey, thanks for the feedback! Where did you get stuck? We had an issue with the upload, we forgot to get rid of a debugging variable. If you want to try the version of the game without this variable, there is a link in our page description :)
I would love a little tutorial, because I kept throwing guys to the botomless pits.
But Cool idea and nice level design! Good job!
Thanks! If you want to have a tutorial and the rest of the level there is a link in the page description. We had a little issue with the upload. (A debugging variable was still on)
Your game is very nice too. The music is great and I like the idea of having to adapt the mouse on the buffalo's move!
Definitely will check it out!
Also wanted to add that I love this kind of animation with legs, looks cute :)
I enjoyed it. Has some issues, though:
On the other hand, lovely puzzle design! All abilities are well-thought-out. The Fan mechanic is really fun: they can act both as help and hindrance, could even say I'm a big Fan of that.
Thanks for checking out! There are indeed a few things we could improve, the pieces of advice are appreciated. We had an issue with the upload, we forgot to get rid of a debugging variable. If you want to try the version of the game without this variable, there is a link in our page description :) This problem skipped the tutorial and few levels :/
Very nice puzzle game. It really deserves some kind of tutorial or at least controlls. Good level design and puzzles. Stucked into wall from fan and after building box next to the wall.
Good puzzle game ! It fits perfectly the theme :)
I would have made a little explanation / presentation of the different roles, as there are enough rooms to break your brain on the puzzle part so you don't need to figure out everything that each character can/has to do :)
To be picky:
-I wanted a way to go back to menu or quit the game by a button haha
-On the menu, you can only click on buttons to navigate BUT if there are no Exit/Return button you can click on Escape.... That's weird :p
You did a really good job, well made !
Many thanks! Yeah, a little problem when we release the game so the levels weren't in order which did not allow you to play all of them :/ So the tutorial has been skipped too. As we say, the little details make the great games, thanks for the pieces of advice :)
I tried your game and it is very nice! I liked the movement of the blob very funny! I got a bit of trouble sometimes to know if I weren't able to go to some places because of my abilities or because I did not eat enough members of my species xD. The fact that you precise you did not do the font yourself shows your rigour, well done!
