Platform game with adventure game elements, in which we play as a boy named San. Game protagonist of Out of Line escapes from a dangerous factory, using his javelin and help of his allies.
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.

Game Ratings for Out of Line Video Game.
Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Oliver Reynolds
Out of Line tries to straddle the line between being an emotional narrative-driven experience and a consistently engaging, challenging puzzle game; unfortunately, it struggles to accomplish either. Far from a bad game, we'd absolutely recommend Out of Line for the younger audience who may want to dip their feet into the puzzle platform genre, but for those seeking something a bit more taxing, then you might be better off looking elsewhere.
COGconnected: 76 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
Out of Line is a great example of the puzzle platform genre. Nerd Monkey’s methodical approach to puzzles is delightful.
VGamingNews: 7 / 10 by Andrew O'Donnell
Nerd Monkeys have done an excellent job compacting a light puzzle platformer into a small space and painting it absolutely beautifully. You aren’t going to find a world beating new mechanic for puzzle platformers and you might have to crack your mind wide open to find the story but I’d say it’s a worthwhile pick up despite its few shortcomings.
