PushThemOut
A downloadable co-op online game
You and your friends (or AI) are in generated space. Almost everything wants to kill you so be careful. The way you protect yourself from enemies is either to run from them or to push them out.
What's the mission
The space has 6 different zones with special missions. Your task is to complete these missions as soon as you can and with the least number of deaths.
You control 1 of 3 balls (the rest are controlled either by AI or other players), each ball has its own ability that can help you a lot on some missions.
If you play solo, only your deaths are counted, but it takes more time to collect the resources. However, if you play with your friends then all of your deaths are counted but you can finish the game faster.

Game philosophy
As people who love playing co-op games (like Deep Rock Galactic, Helldivers, Trine, etc) and people who enjoy learning new things and creating we decided to learn how to make our own online co-op game from scratch. The idea was to create a 15-20 minutes game session (so it doesn't take too long) for friends to have fun, and each session should give a new experience due to randomness and world generation. We've been working on this project since the middle of 2021, refactoring the logic, graphics, music and now we think we are ready to share it with you. We hope you enjoy it :)
