Outage
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
[ Placed 6th for Game Design (out of 1,888) in Brackey's 2021.1 Game Jam ]
[Read about the latest version (1.1.1)]
Outage is an atmospheric puzzle game in which your goal is to reconnect the power to a set of lights through a series of challenging and unique sliding-tile puzzles!
Use W,A,S,D to control the blue player, and the arrow keys to control the pink. Your objective is to get all boxes onto their end goals at the same time. But watch out: there is a third box who responds to both sets of controls. With 20 mind-bending levels to enjoy, Outage can provide (depending on how good you are at it) hours of fun!
Outage saves your progress as you go - allowing you to return to the game whenever you feel up to the challenge. Try to complete the levels in under a given number of moves to turn them golden - can you perfect all 20?
We are super grateful for the kind words and support that our game has received - the positive reception is more than we ever hoped for! Outage has been praised for its game design, challenging levels, atmosphere, environment, artwork, and music. It has also received praise for its polished, well-rounded feel and attention to creating a satisfying gameplay experience. But don't take our word for it, see what players of Outage have had to say!
All levels have been tried and tested! You can find all of the solutions here.
(This is not an exhaustive list of possible solutions. The vast majority of the levels can be solved in multiple different ways!)

Very impressive. You managed to create a complete and polished game. good work.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Wow the atmosphere is awesome, and I really enjoyed how challenging the puzzles are. Also how the new mechanics are introduced is great too. You should totally do a port for mobile, it would be great! Congrats for the amazing work!
