Guiding Light

Guiding Light is a cooperative game for two players working for the Intergalactic Crash Unit. One player controls an alien who travels across planets to rescue stranded aliens, while the other pilots a UFO and guides the rescue from above. Both players need to communicate and use their different viewpoints, information and abilities to complete missions.

The alien on the ground

The alien plays from a first-person perspective and platform-traverses foreign planets to reach stranded aliens and beam them up to the UFO. The alien can interact with buttons and levers, and pick up batteries.

The UFO overhead

The UFO flies through each level and has a more complete view of the situation, but its pilot needs information from the alien about what is happening on the ground. The UFO’s light ray can help the alien see and reveal objects and items that would otherwise be hidden. Shining the light on solar panels can activate doors and moving platforms, helping the alien cross the terrain and reach the goal.
