Gameplay

It takes 2-4 shots to destroy them, but doing so is quite satisfactory, as many platformers with mechanics like this would make you dart around them with no way to attack.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So now with that finished Out There Somewhere is a pretty good retro styled puzzle platformer, it has good gameplay, good graphics and an okay story.
Graphics

However, there's enough variety and little touches to change up the visuals and make it look more natural.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty curve is expertly crafted, providing a satisfying challenge without ever feeling frustrating.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects that play from your two guns are distinct from one another, and make sense for the functions they serve.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls work, I have been guilty of mixing up my two fire keybindings, which has resulted in death-by-NPC-face-hugging, or teleportation-into-pits-of-death (For clearification sake, your teleportation gun fires THROUGH NPC's hostile and friendly.), the controls weren't so bad for me, but the game really seems like it was designed more so with a controller in mind.
