Out of Line is a platform game with adventure game elements. It was developed by an independent Portuguese studio Nerd Monkeys and was published by Hatinh Interactive.
The main character of Out of Line is a boy named San. During the game we follow the protagonist in his escape from the factory, which used to be his home. The case is not easy, because the facility has been taken over by a sinister entity. Fortunately, our protagonist is not alone and is not defenseless - he can count on the help of his allies and deal with any adversities encountered with the help of his javelin.
Out of Line is a side-scroller. Traversing various locations, we have to show not only dexterity, but also ingenuity. The former comes in handy while overcoming terrain obstacles and jumping on platforms, while a sharp mind is necessary to solve numerous environmental puzzles. To deal with the puzzles, we have to use the javelin, with which we interact with the environment; we can, for example, use it as a lever or throw it at hard to reach switches. As San can't fight, he often has to dodge the enemies he encounters on his way. As the protagonist progresses, he also encounters friendly characters who are willing to help him in his perilous crossing.
The graphic design of Out of Line was kept in the original style, which makes this production similar to a painting painted with watercolors.

Impulsegamer: 4.6 / 5 by Lyla Saudi
Out of Line is not a long game. It could be finished in around 3 hours, but it is still very enjoyable to play. The puzzles are not overly complicated but are challenging enough and the story that unfolds is unique and charming. Overall, I would say the value for money is great and I would definitely recommend it. It is a perfect game to pick up and casually play when you need a break from the real world.
Hey Poor Player: 4 / 5 by Daymon Trapold
Honestly, there’s very little I can find in the way of criticism for this game. It’s stunningly gorgeous, intuitive and creative, and a delightfully unique little puzzle-platformer. The game is beautiful and oddly moving, considering the complete lack of dialogue. If you need something a little different from your standard platformer, give Out of Line a try.
Nindie Spotlight: 7.7 / 10 by Justin Nation
The great artwork and general puzzle-y adventure beats of Out of Line (as well as a timely multiversal sort of twist to things) almost immediately brought to mind the likes of Limbo, Inside, and some others...
