You can pick up all kinds of blueprints for shield and weapon upgrades, or new spacesuits and the parts to make them. One might have you weaving between laser grids, while another sends Charlie through the center of a boiling asteroid where the walls are to hot to land on.Įxploring is good for more than just completing the game.
Each stage has its own types of puzzles and quirks. The design and use of the physics system is clever. Many puzzles will have you landing on or pushing crates through weightless space to block lasers or push buttons. No gravity physics are the centerpiece of the game Gameplay It’s fun to bounce, slide, and jet pack around, and the lack of gravity plays into the rest of the game. As I mentioned before, simply moving around the levels is an Otter joy.
Each stage is its own self-contained mini Metroidvania, with branching pathways, locked doors, and puzzles. The game itself is split between several stages, half of which are optional. Much of the lore you pick up adds some humor and you can even find real-world facts about Otters scattered around the many stages. The story isn’t at all deep but the characters and dialogue are charming. Space Otter Charlie is a very cute and light-hearted game.

This allows the furry hero to stick to ceilings and walls. Since the game takes place in Otter-space, there’s no gravity. You can find a video version of this review here: Space Otter Charlie Review – YouTube There’s no walking at all, and you don’t jump, at least in the normal sense.
However, that’s the very core of why I was Ottracted to Space Otter Charlie. I’m not usually the biggest fan of side-scrolling games, usually, because I don’t find the movement enjoyable.
