Get Us Off Earth
A downloadable game for Windows
This game was developed over the span of 10 weeks as a submission for the 2026 Ubisoft GameLab Competition.
Get Us Off Earth is a local cooperative puzzle adventure inspired by the sci-fi atmosphere of the 1980s–90s. Two aliens have just escaped their containment inside Area 51, but freedom is still far away.
Players must explore the secret base together, find hidden keys, reactivate power systems, and unlock new passages while avoiding the ever-watchful Men in Black.
Progress is only possible through communication, timing, and cooperation. If the players fail to work together, they risk getting captured before reaching their ship.
The project was created under specific development constraints:
- Engine: Unreal Engine
- Minimum Gameplay Duration: 10 minutes
- Controllers: Xbox controllers
- Multiplayer: Local couch co-op (2 players, same screen)
- Input Limit: D-Pad + maximum 2 buttons per controller
Gameplay
This game is designed as a couch co-op experience for two players on the same screen.
Players must work together to escape the base by:
- Exploring the corridors of Area 51
- Finding keys to unlock restricted doors
- Avoiding the Men in Black patrolling the facility
- Restoring the power to bring the base systems back online
- Opening the hangar to reach their spaceship
Every challenge requires coordination between players, encouraging communication and teamwork as the two aliens make their way toward freedom.
Controls
The game follows a simple retro-inspired control structure:
- D-Pad — Move your character
- B — Interact
