Adrift by Pixlexia

[raw]
made by Pixlexia for LD31 (JAM)
Adrift is a game about solving puzzles and teamwork.

---

### HOW TO PLAY ###
WASD - Movement
Q, E - Switch characters
Space - Toggle player auto-follow
R - Use Yellow's skill (stun enemies)
Escape - Restart to last checkpoint
Enter - Skip to the end scene once you get the Green guy

Each character has a unique ability:
- Blue can open/close doors
- Red can push crates
- Yellow can stun enemies by pressing "R"
- Green can deactivate traps.

We really wanted to add more complex puzzles and mini-levels but we designed the game to be easier because we wanted you guys to finish the game and see the end scene.

UPDATE: (Dec 18, 2014)
- Crates now respawn to their original position when you die. Alternatively, you can press Escape to restart to the last checkpoint.
- Once you get Green, you can finish the remaining puzzles, or press ENTER to skip to the end scene. (Because we badly want you guys to see the end scene.)

Very cute animations. I really like the abstracted 'making friends' action. It doesn't matter what they are saying, all that matters is that they are talking and it takes some time.

Great art, the game makes me think of botanicula. You definitely need to take this further. Just a shame about the theme :-|

art style is lovely! definitely deserves more attention. one thing though is that i couldn't relate the idea to the theme (i got stuck just after getting the green guy join our 'family' though, my bad if there is something else at the end).

Funny game, but I get stuck sometimes when a box gets in a corner and I'm no longer able to recover it and move it again to the place I need it to be! Anyway, I love the art style and the mechanics of 4 characters cooperating with their own abilities. Overall a nice game!

So cute! Yet the ending was so sad. I wanted everyone to be on the raft :_( Nice work!

Can not play, Unity webplayer does not support Linux OS's.
(you can export executables for Linux, though)

Nice game! I guess this would be "Entire Game on one Scene" =) I got stuck after getting the green guy, I couldn't see a way to cross the red square or stop the red lasers. Art is great, and animations as well.

Really nice puzzle game! Awesome arts, don't know how it fits into the theme though... Also, I got stuck when my red character push the cube to far. The red laser didn't let me get it back..

This was great! Love the little characters, art was minimalist but really worked. I'd like to see more visual feedback when stunning and the ability to pull blocks, but other than that it's really slick. Would like to see more of this world!

jQuery is causing trouble with FF: the game does not load.

Cute game. I didn't see the theme and I had trouble with perspective, but I had fun and it reminded me goblins and the lost vikings

Excellent presentation with this game, love the graphical style, very cute. Decent gameplay too, reminded me of Thomas Was Alone a bit. Good stuff!

Wow... Beautiful! Well done art style and mood. I Loved this game (notice big L in Love). Only 3 flaws: I still don't understand green's mechanics (although I somehow passed that puzzle), I don't get theme correlation, sprites sometimes overlaps themselves in wrong way.

Wow really cute game. I like the design and feel of the audio. The graphic are simple but really charming. Overall really nice!

The first half of the game seemed pretty well designed which leads to wander why the second half had so many bad design choices. There was no indication that only the red guy could pass over the red floor, which is especially confusing since you just got the green guy. Also why is it that the green guy can only be used on one switch that looks like all the other switches that the blue guy steps on.

I liked this game and I hope you'll fix all the problems it has right now. It's just a shame that they're there in the first place.
