Out of Fix

A game by PÔLE 3D for PC, originally released in 2020.
Out of Fix is a bite-sized precision/puzzle platformer that takes place aboard a spaceship that has crashed in the desert of an unknown world. You take on the role of a maintenance robot who becomes active many years after the impact, venturing out to find pieces to repair the ship. However, the hull has been breached, and some of the local fauna have made the ship their home. Fortunately, the robot can use these creatures to help him bypass the many spike traps… way more spike traps than you usually find on a galactic star cruiser (just sayin’).


The robot has a 2x variable jump and is able to dash in eight directions, allowing him to cross gaps and reach high platforms. He can also perform a short melee attack, and at any point, he can warp back to the opening of the current room, acting as a quick reset should the player mess up.
