Welcome to Never Alone!

We think that cooperation is the key to improvement, not only in fomenting STEAM disciplines amongst women, but in life.

Instead of a narrative adventure, we opted to show this ideal trough gameplay. Playing "Never Alone" you'll be asked to solve different puzzles (currently 11) using up to 3 playable characters. These character's abilities are powerful, but can not be used on their own!

Will you team up with our 3 heroines and help them overcome their challenges?

How to Play

Try to reach the levitating book at the end of each level in X amount of turns
Mind Harsh terrain! The maroon tiles will cost extra turns to traverse.
Play with the Ice Slides! The girls will slide all across them with no extra cost of turns. They can be used in other ways too... experiment!
Avoid Dark purple tiles: stepping on them causes a Game Over!
- Use wooden logs to step over them. These logs can't be pushed, but can be moved... use your imagination ;)
Doors will hault your advances. Step on the buttons to open them (they share colors). You must stay put! Going away means closing the door once again.
Balls can be pushed by moving into them (this costs a turn). However, they are useful in a number of ways...

Characters

Scientist: Use her ability to link her to an object or another ally. Whenever the Scientist moves, her linked target will replicate the move (or at least, try to...)
Artist: Use her ability to Inspire an ally. Her target will move twice as much as long as she remains inspired!
Architect: Use her ability to exchange positions of two different allies! (She can be one of them)

Controls

Click on girl: Set her as selected character. You control her now.
WASD: On controlled character, move on the grid. One step costs one turn
Press space: Start Channelling your ability (will cost one turn on cast)
- Scientist: Click on the object / girl you want to link to
- Artist: Click on the girl you want to Inspire
- Architect: Click one the first target, then the second
- Space (again): Interrupt the channeling. No extra cost.
- Right Click: End ability effect (if active at all). This will cost a turn.
R : Restart the level (go back ti default position)

Enjoy, Have Fun, and remember:

No Matter how hard the fight, you never fight alone!
