With humanity gone, it’s up to the otters to save animal-kind from an inhospitable Earth. Join Charlie and his ragtag crew of critters on a daring mission through Otter Space as they search for a new planet to call home. Explore derelict space stations, battle unhinged robots, and enjoy some otterly terrific puns as you jump, float, and fly through over a dozen levels of furry fun.

Zero gravity gives classic puzzle platforming a whole new twist. Anything that’s not bolted down floats freely, making for a plethora of fresh new puzzles and predicaments. On your way, you’ll find plans to craft all kinds of gear, from jetpacks to ray guns - even a foam shark suit?! It all helps you on your quest for a furrier future!

Pull out your Reflector Ray to ricochet your shots around corners or leave a path of destruction as you slide through enemies with the Electric Slide. From Jetpacks to missile launchers, Charlie’s got all the coolest toys.

• Wacky Space Suits - Sure, an otter’s gotta wear a suit to survive the deadly vacuum of space, but he can still look great (and CUTE) doing it! Plans for new suits are hidden through the game - each with a fun new look and its own unique and powerful weapon! Want to see an otter wearing a shark suit? Charlie’s got you covered.

• Action-Packed Multiplayer - Looking for more action? Battle your friends in frantic 4-player arenas. Fight for food supremacy in So Urchin mode, or just let the fur fly in a Furry Fury deathmatch.

Overall Impression:

I didn't do a written review for this one since i did a video, but I still like to put an overall impressions where I still put my opinion to written word. "Space Otter Charlie" was really a pleasant surprise. It caught me off guard. I was expecting a cute game by the screenshots, characters, and just the idea of a Otter in space, but was greeted with much more than that. It is a beautifully designed game with tons of upgrades, enemies, and perfect designed levels. Each level intriduces something new. A new weapon, challenge, enemy, crafting item, etc so it never feels repetitive and each time you leave your ship to journey to new planet you never know what to expect. It has some awesome designed bosses as well. Each one attacks in a different way and like the levels makes you think about how you will approach it. It has a nice challenge to it, but not so that it limits itself to any certain type of player. "Space Otter Charlie" really put itself into one of my favorite games of 2021 catagory. I really look forward to returning to it at a later date. I ususally do a Pros and Cons list, btu I really don't see a point with this one as the Pros FAAAAAAAR outweigh the cons here. I think it's a value at it's 14.99 price, and think all types of gamers should give this one a try.
