The list of intriguing Indie games coming to the Switch eShop this year continues to grow, and another one to consider is Out of Line. Developed by Nerd Monkeys and published by Hatinh Interactive, Switch will be the first console to get the game with release planned alongside the PC version this Summer.
Out of Line is a puzzle platformer that looks to utilise the character's spear in a variety of imaginative ways. The art style is certainly eye-catching and the story will revolve around lost memories; Francisco Santos, Lead Artist at Nerd Monkeys, says the following in the press release.
Out of Line is being designed with a stylized approach. The mechanics of the game revolve around San’s spear, something the character sees as a tool that will help him navigate this strange world. We want players to learn through experimentation, constantly tinkering with puzzles until they find a logical solution. This design philosophy plays a thematic role in our game, as most individuals find their purpose through trial and error.
You can see a trailer below.
It's worth noting there'll be a livestream and Q&A session by developer Nerd Monkeys on April 29 at 11.00am (PST) / 2.00pm (EST) / 7.00pm (GMT) / 8.00pm (GMT+1), so it'll be worth checking out the YouTube channel to follow that.
Is this one on your radar for the Summer?

It looks like the kid from Scribblenauts but has now grown up.
This looks promising. My ever-expanding wishlist is exceeding my budget.
@jump I was going to say it looked like Maxwell holding his pencil.
Glad I'm not the only one who sees it
Looking good, love these types of games.
Looks interesting, I'd have to see some actual gameplay to know whether or not I want it, but the theming looks wonderful! I hope it turns out good.
Animation looks really stiff, and I’m kind of really tired of seeing that style. Also they play up the spear in the upsell text but don’t see it being used much in the trailer, and not in an interesting way, either.
It’s a pass for me, so far.
