Out of line is a hand-drawn 2D side-scrolling puzzle platformer game developed by Nerd Monkeys. Inspired by other puzzle platformer games like Limbo and Inside. It follows the escape of San, a boy trying to get out of a factory monitored and controlled by strange malicious creatures. Use a javelin/ Spear to manipulate the environment and get past obstacles.
The lack of difficulty and lack of evolution in the gameplay mechanics are an issue, but they don’t diminish the overall appeal of Out of Line, though they do hold it back from being something truly special. I savored exploring San’s forsaken habitat and eagerly awaited what lied around the next corner. The gameplay can’t match the lofty bar set by the presentation, but Out of Line remains a visual and atmospheric triumph.
