Each ship will offer up new challenges and just as importantly, new loot. Touching those will lose you an orb of health although you can collect orbs to restore it throughout levels.

Not only are mechanical and ghostly enemies everywhere but lots of things are on fire or electrified too. You see, Charlie is exploring abandoned ships and caves for signs of life but these areas have turned into death traps. The jetpack starts off as a nice add on but after the first hour of gameplay, it is an essential tool in your kit. Its fuel is rechargeable so long as you leave it alone for a few seconds and so you can course-correct a fling or blast around corners. To combat missed moves and later in the game have much more autonomy over your space travel, an upgradeable jetpack is also available. His sticky feet will keep him still and until you fire him somewhere else. He will continue to glide in that direction until he hits a wall. You point him in the direction you want to fire him and then shoot him in that direction. I only came to see if you were OK! Time to use the reflector gun.Ĭharlie operates much like aiming weapons in Worms. It is a charming mix of platforming and light puzzle work that is largely a joy to play. Playing as the gun-toting Otter, you’ll be bouncing from wall to wall to find your species a new home. Mascot based platformer Space Otter Charlie is a wonderful throwback to 16-bit platforming with a zero-gravity twist.
