Surgent Studios, known for EA's acclaimed platformer Tales of Kenzera: Zau, has unveiled FixForce, a unique 3D 'extraction platformer' blending co-op gameplay with environmental puzzles. Set in a bright post-apocalyptic world, players must solve movement challenges, repair broken machines using scrap parts, and return to their repair van before time or battery life expires. The game features simple graphics and physics-based mechanics where water and rogue bots pose the only threats.

Players who take damage lose their heads, which teammates can retrieve and attach to new bodies, adding a chaotic twist to the cooperative experience. The developer targets fans of chaotic co-op games like Peak and Lethal Company, as well as physics enthusiasts who enjoy titles like Portal, Garry's Mod, and Ratchet and Clank. Each round supports up to six players working together to complete objectives.

The game's minimum specifications are surprisingly accessible, requiring only a Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i7-6700K with a GeForce GTX 1060, Radeon RX 580 8 GB, or Intel Arc A580 graphics card. Originally planned for Pocketpair Publishing, Surgent Studios decided to self-publish after seeing the 'pure chaos and hilarity' the game generated during development. This marks a significant departure from their previous work focused on darker themes of abuse and grief.
