There are teleport tubes to transport around the level and there is always a map collectible that will reveal the layout of the current level and where you have explored. This is even used in solving some puzzles that require you to stick to a metal box then propel that box to a certain location by firing in the opposite direction. There are all sorts of puzzles in Space Otter Charlie including the standard key collection to get past locked doors. One of the interesting things about combat is that the game realistically repels you in the opposite direction when firing a weapon and not magnetically attacked to a wall. There are some fun and useful variations of the standard ray gun including one weapon that can bounce shots off of certain wall surfaces, useful to shoot buttons and enemies not in your line of sight.

Charlie has a nice assortment of weapons that he collects over time and can upgrade them by collecting various resources left floating around after things have been disintegrated, much like the bolts in the Ratchet and Clank game. It’s definitely a skill to master but it should only take a few levels to do so.Īside from exploring for critical parts and resources Charlie will eventually get caught up in combat with various space critters, enemy robots, and some impressively creative boss battles. You can also maneuver in mid-flight by holding down the booster button to slow or steer Charlie in other directions. You can tap your jetpack to launch yourself in any unobstructed direction and you will fly to that spot and stick to the wall thanks to your magnet boots. The core gameplay element is that your exploration takes place entirely in zero-g, which means learning a whole new mode of travel. You’ll explore the maze-like levels of space stations, space ships, and other futuristic locations in search of all sorts of collectibles, some of which can be used to upgrade your weapons and other gear at various Build Bot locations. You’ll be playing as Charlie, a cute otter in a spacesuit with a jetpack and magnetic boots. What better setup for 8-10 hours of quality platform, puzzle, space-shooting exploration. Using their keen engineering skills they gather just enough spare rocket parts to blast themselves into space in search of their own new world. Humans have trashed the planet to the point of being uninhabitable, so they all blasted off to the stars leaving behind a group of highly skilled and motivated otters.


Space Otter Charlie sounds about as adorable as it really is.
