I know I’ve said it already, but this game is just bursting with adorability. That’s right: a space otter with a jetpack. Well, okay, not exactly a straight line, because you do get access to a jetpack that’ll let you make adjustments to Charlie’s trajectory. When you do so, it’ll send him flying in a straight line until he hits something else. When I say anchored, I really mean anchored, too Charlie is unable to walk left or right once you’ve attached to a surface.īut never fear! Charlie can launch himself off of any surface. So how’s a poor otter supposed to get around? Thankfully, Charlie’s got a pair of gravity boots that’ll keep him anchored to the ground. Since you’re in space, the environments are all zero gravity. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever played a game with mechanics quite like these ones. With any platformer, the gameplay is where the game is supposed to shine, and Space Otter Charlie is no exception. It’s simple, but it’s cute, and it works perfectly fine for this game.
Now it’s up to Charlie and his crew to find a new planet to call home. After several explosive mishaps, they finally manage a successful flight into space – the eponymous Space Otter Charlie. The humans have all left Earth, and the otters are desperately trying to find a way to get off the planet. Space Otter Charlie is almost stupidly, painfully adorable. How could I possibly say no? That, and I firmly believe it’s good to try and branch out into other genres now and then to see what you could be missing. Nervous, but also, look at that adorable ottery face.
So I was a little nervous about tackling Wayward Distractions’ Space Otter Charlie. I’m stunningly mediocre at Mario, and once it gets any more difficult than that, my skills (or lack thereof) quickly become an embarrassment. Time for a confession: I suck at platformers.
