About EFO: Escape From Outerworld
EFO is a side scrolling platformer, wherein you control an alien who has crash landed, and must reach the top of the mountain in order to call for a ride home before the battery on your distress beacon runs out. The climb is difficult, but you have the power of telekinesis, which you can use to levitate pieces of ancient alien ruins scattered throughout the mountain, allowing you to reach heights that would otherwise be impossible.
- Charming and atmospheric visuals
- Conquer the mountain while racing against the clock
- Use telekinesis to move objects and solve problems
- Multiple solutions to some puzzles, with players having to find the fastest route
- The upbeat, adaptive electronic-orchestral soundtrack encourages players and follows their journey

I immediately escaped onto the cloudy roof, which is as surreal and perilous as in real life, although I was, of course, expecting Super Mario to take me to heaven, not to get trapped in an invisible pit. Take two, I'm running along too quickly to read that there's a time limit and you gotta what the where before they blast the thing; not too much of a problem with the amount of replenishment along the way. The last challenge put me so close to the wire that collecting the last pillar gave me just enough to win and lose at the same time. Selecting restart only returned me to the earth to ascend higher up unto a white screen, and finally...Super Mario... The game is a relaxed Nerve mazer, such as one can be; all challenges are derived from the movable platforms, but their difficulty mostly only scales in one direction. Creating a challenge out of strange, narrow passageways that only certain platforms will be able to fit through would strain the resilience of the physics system, so it was both a conservative and liberating choice to call attention to the periphery of scope with a jittery dog pile of platforms blocking my way. The ability to "create" a platform in a platformer has …
Nice cute little platformer :-)
Limited options. Floaty and unresponsive controls. Repetitive game-play loop of 'the platforms are too far apart, bring a block with you'. Clicking the blocks to move them only works a third of the time. I clipped through a wall and had blocks clip through walls.
What did i just play.
