A two player game that involves matching color pixels with each other. The buttons have different functions as the level changes. Players have to finish different levels within time constraints.
The core concept of the design is a one-dimensional game that's easy to grasp but offers a high skill ceiling. Don't handle alone is a two-player experience, with the name reflecting its cooperative nature. The game comes as a pair with each player holding a piece of the puzzle, working together to find the solution. The object takes on the form of a capsule that must be solved and takes inspiration from the online game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. The hexagonal shape allows each player to see both their own light and their partner's, while having easy access to the buttons on top.
You and your partner come across two mysterious capsules that are intertwined. You realize that there are 5 pixels of light on each device and you have to match the colors of the pixels to solve them. On the capsule, there are also 5 buttons that you have no idea what they do and their function may change as time passes.
