Evacuation

About

Evacuation is a puzzle game that tasks you with guiding astronauts to safety while avoiding deadly encounters. You control a series of rooms with color-coded doors. Clicking a door toggles all doors of the same color open or closed. The challenge lies in maneuvering humans away from hostile aliens and keeping them from floating into the void of space. Each level requires careful planning as your choices ripple through the environment. The simplicity of the mechanic contrasts with the complexity of solving each scenario. This game stands out for its sharp, no-frills design. Bennett Foddy’s signature style of precise, brain-tickling puzzles shines through in its concise 30-minute runtime. While it lacks modern polish, its clever use of color and consequence has earned it a cult following among puzzle enthusiasts. The game’s difficulty curve feels fair but punishing, with a few levels that players still discuss online more than a decade later.
