Space Otter Charlie

Space Otter Charlie casts you as Charlie the otter and a ragtag crew of sea mammals on a mission to find a new home for animal-kind after humanity has gone. Zero gravity is the central mechanic: anything not bolted down floats, including you, which turns classic platforming into momentum-and-physics puzzling instead of timed jumps.

The campaign covers over a dozen levels exploring derelict space stations, battling unhinged robots and finding crafting plans for gear like jetpacks, ray guns and Charlie's iconic foam shark suit. Combat gear unlocks unique abilities: the Reflector Ray ricochets shots around corners, the Electric Slide cuts through enemies, missile launchers handle bigger threats.

Wacky space suits, each with unique looks and weapons, unlock as plans hidden throughout the campaign. A four-player multiplayer mode (So Urchin food-fight and Furry Fury deathmatch) extends the package beyond the story. The game also tucks educational facts about sea otters into hidden trivia throughout, in a deliberate kid-friendly touch.
