## Description
_Out There Somewhere_ is a puzzle platformer with a sci-fi theme. The player
controls Yuri, an astronaut that was shot by the evil Grigori and crashlanded
in an alien planet. Now he must try to find a power source to fix his ship and
escape. Yuri can run, jump and most importantly, use his Teleport Gun to get
through the planet. Each screen in the game presents a different puzzle and
can have up to four exists (left, right, top and bottom). At first the puzzles
will be straightforward (such as teleporting over a distance impossible to
transverse by simply jumping), getting more complex later on.
The Teleport Gun will shoot in only to the direction Yuri is facing and once
the teleport shot reaches a wall, it will make Yuri appear there. The Teleport
Gun keeps momentum, so Yuri can start jumps before teleporting and complete
them after reaching his destination. The teleport shot will go through glass
blocks and will be reflected by mirrors. It can also interact with three
different light beams: red ones neutralize the teleport shot; blue ones will
act as walls, making Yuri teleport to where they’re hit (but unlike normal
walls, Yuri can move through them); green ones will move the teleport shot up
until it reaches a platform.
Intelligent life on the planet will give Yuri hints on where to go and what to
do. The world has hostile inhabitants who must be avoided at first but that
can be destroyed once Yuri finds a Gauss Gun. Other collectible (and usually
hidden) items are health upgrades and Abandoned Cores that can be used to
upgrade Yuri’s ship, making it more powerful to the final confront with
Grigori. The game starts and ends with a space shooter sequence.
