Otter Space Rescue

Disclaimer: I was fortunate enough to win a copy of this game on indie database however all thoughts and reactions are genuine and freely given. Even if I had paid full price for the game, I would have been satisfied with the amount of entertainment it provided. I think the asking price seems fair. I feel £/$/€ 1 should provide an hour of entertainment, and I will definitely play some more. For the price of a candy bar, one can't find much cause for complaint! Graphics are very basic and the gameplay in the main mode is a little too easy, but upon completion of the "story" mode there are further modes unlocked. So far I have been playing some Scavenge mode where new mechanics ramp up the difficulty. I had no problems with the controls. WASD to move and mouse to aim and fire; pretty standard set up really. I tried a controller but as another reviewer stated there is a constant pull to the left. You can direct your character with a left analogue stick and aim/fire with the mouse if you are insane. A few minor bugs such as unreachable items and I clipped out of the level once, but managed to clip myself back in! Plus the aforementioned controller issues, but the Steam page makes no mention of controller support. Awesome music; kept me happily blasting away at the villainous space weasels (I may be using creative license here) in their tanks. Not sure how they got those tanks on board the space ship, but then I'm not down with the lore of the Space Otters. Some balancing issues definitely need to be addressed, even the starting character is overpowered. Once you unlock the other crew with their alternative weaponry, there are few obstacles that can stand in your way. Also if a few achievements and proper controller support were added this game would jump up a notch in terms of quality. I had a fun hour with this. How many things can hold that claim in these troubled times?

Love this game so far! Its fun and cute and really easy to learn how to play! Plus I love the soundtrack.

Game seems not bad despite scrappy maybe on purpose graphics but dualshock 4 gamepad isn't configured right in game so you can only move left. You can't change the controls. You can't set vsync on in game so it runs at like 1500 fps on a 1080. If you can bother setting vsync outside the game and you want to play with keyboard and mouse and don't want to configure controls then maybe give it a look, otherwise stay clear.

i love games. and i love otters. pretty good game, solid 9 out of 10.

A very humble unity project with a lot of love and passion pored into it. It ain't perfect, but does what it set out to do quite admirably. I liked it :3
