I love the puzzles which are challenging, but mostly achievable within a few tries.
I don't like that owing to settings I didn't know had been set, I cannot revert to the starting position so can't retrieve all that has been lost in previous play.

I'll play the game a little bit more in the next days... I'm really enjoying it so far!

It's actually a pretty good game. It would be way better if it had online multiplayer so i can play with my friends and blow him up. And If they added some sort of race "to the end" game mode or something like that, with this type of game play with a friend would be so much fun. But as it is its pretty good. 9/10

made a quick video of it.

The game has some pretty interesting ways of keeping you entertained.
I find it much more easier to play with a gamepad
You can even do the whole game together with a partner in local co-op only
Your goal si to save the humans collect the crystals and do the level objectives.
At first it looks really simple but, well... there are laser guns after you, two headed goons who are simple to defeat with a push of a button, but can be difficult to handle if they are too many at once, all sorts of flying alien bombs and more.

The game is fun and it gets more diffcult as you progress and a lot more entertaining as well
Give it a try, you might enjoy it.

Looks good, sounds good, levels well made.

Well done sir!

Take a look at some gameplay:

I give this a 6/10. It's a cool game with lots of fun little physics interactions and puzzles. If you are in the mood for an Indie game with a couple cool concepts, I'd recommend it, especially for its price. However, after an hour in you've pretty much seen everything. Even worse, after the halfway point the game started feeling like the devs ran out of inspiration.

Around the halfway point the game was pretty challenging and fun. And then shortly after that, the game got ridiculously easy without many new concepts, and the levels started taking about half the time they had been. For example, in the next to the last level, there are five people you have to rescue, which is a lot. Except all five are at the beginning of the level, in a row, next to an escape vehicle, and a crystal is there too. It's not the only place it occurs either, as in one or two places there were a few crystals together. It wasn't terrible, but it felt weird. Imagine if Mario64 had a level where you could gather 3 stars within seconds of each other.

The final secret area was especially disappointing. There is a cool plot twist, but other than that the secret area was literally nothing except a walk, and the game just fades to the end. No final boss, no nothing. Perhaps I missed a secret ending, as I first thought maybe there was a tricky way to do something in that area, but I couldn't find any.

It's really good.
Still have some issues tho, physics is great but sometimes humans don't follow good enough.
The island could be speedrunned but this game take a bit to get a grip on.
Buy it on sale !

Unplayable! My entire time 'in game' was spent trying to get the controls to function. I was sucessful in getting some movement but there's this persistant ignored zone with diagonals that will not go away.

Your character will just stop dead when you try to move diagonally. Refunding now!

I thought this game looked ace, then when I played it - it was ace. In conclusion, if you like the look of this game - buy it - it's ace!

It's really fun. Couch co-op is great, too.

Bug makes the game impossible to finish...

Basically, after 20+ hours playing, I can't access the final mission because the game is buggy.

Contacted support and help them to find the issue and after a week their solution is "reset the game, and start again"
This is the conversation in the forum:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/712180/discussions/1/1741094390464039140/

And this is their respone via mail:
"We'll pass this along to the team to investigate. Currently the only way to reset your levels is to delete your save game. This will mean you have to recomplete the entire game again."

What a way to ruin a promising game :(

The good things:
+ Good and fun game
+ Perfect for coop
+ Intense gameplay and cool puzzles

Cons:
- Several bugs
- Controls suddenly stop responding
- GLITCHED GATEWAY FOR FINAL MISSION!!!!!!!!

The thumbs up here is just for if you find the game going cheap on sale. I would not pay the full price for it.

This is a fun physics puzzle game with lots of big explosions and plenty of dumb aliens to blow up. It should give most gamers a few short hours of entertainment.

First problem is that the game is short and feels distinctly rushed. Many of the puzzles are "loose" - that is, you can see what the level designed is trying to achieve but at some point they seem to have given up and just scattered loads of vehicles and explosive barrels around to make sure it can be completed.
Second problem is the rather uneven difficulty scaling, things seem to be getting more difficult, then suddenly you get a level or two you just waltz through.
Lastly, and I`m writing this just after completeing the game - Worst Ending Ever! I won`t put in spoilers but, seriously, after all you go through that is how it ends?

Untimately I feel like this game is actually unfinished, and has been rushed to market before it has been properly polished. Such a shame, it could have been so much better.

I just found my new favorite videogame. I got it during Winter Sale but it's worth full price. i'd totally buy this game for my friends if i had any!

Simple, easy fun. My only complaint is the vehicles need a handbrake sometimes. Got it in the Winter sale, no regrets.

A cool concept, with a nice minimalist take, but ultimately the controls are too finnicky and frustrating for me. Having to carefully rotate the camera around so that the paths I'm trying to follow is in a straight line, so that I can just told down one of the directional keys, doesn't feel right. But it also feels necessary, because a lot of the paths you need to jump through are annoyingly specific, and depth perception on the extremely flat art colours can make it difficult to see elevation changes and other critical features.

A bit clearer art and a bit more forgiving level design might really have helped, but at this point I'm just too annoyed by constantly flubbing what seem to be clear, obvious level designs that I don't think I'll continue.

Tedious backtracking, no motivation to go for 100% on levels, boring gameplay. Bought for $3.74, refunding after 15 dull minutes.

Really nice and fun coop game! However it has lots of glitches and bugs... maybe they are intentional? Non-gamer girlfriend friendly!

This is a very cute well made game. I think it would be fun for a goofy game night, maybe with young kids, but for solo-play it gets a bit repetitive.

This is one of Steam's hidden gems. I played through the entire multiplayer over the course of weeks with my friend and we both really enjoyed the surreal vibe and the moments of tough but surmountable tension. I feel no drive to play through the single player but I feel like I got more than my money's worth (bought at full price) from the multiplayer experience. Maybe I'll pick it up again one day, I dunno.
Can't wait for Mugsters 2!

Cool little adventure game with some neat ideas lots of driving and explosions.
Coop is okay, Player 1 is the one in control over the camera which can become a problem for the other person but it also changes some puzzles around so you have to work together, so it's not just tacked on.
Give it a shot if you're looking for a pick up and play game or some coop fun.

Cheap and small game with great potential.

Not recommended for casual players since it would be TOO hard, in this game you can only rotate left or right, but you cannot ajust view angle manually.
I just played half an hour, I can see the potential, but it I just stopped here.

Recommended for anyone seeking for challenges.
