ABOUT THIS GAME

Outta Hand is a high-energy platforming adventure that lets you embody one of the Hand-People, wide-eyed, hop-happy lab experiments with the power to jump great heights, leap impossible lengths, and shake hands from… really, really far away. Like a whole big dining room away.

Due to not being dumb enough, loveable as you are, Dr. Vendelvom has selected you for immediate termination. Not like fired gone, more like dead gone.

To save yourself and your brethren, you must platform, jump, bounce, and punch your way through the evil doctor’s laboratory with your… uh… very long arms, to take down him and all his baddies. With multiple levels and boss fights along with an endless mode, things might get, shall we say, a little bit “out of hand?” Get it?! No? Fine…

Outta Hand:
❇️ Is an arm-swinging platformer with an exhilarating movement mechanic paired with a humorous light narrative.
❇️ Let’s you explore 4 chapters with 36 levels to traverse and several mega-bosses to punch!
❇️ An endless run mode in two flavors for infinite hours of fun!
❇️ Gives you plenty of movement comfort settings to fit your playstyle.

Please note that while the game does support seated gameplay, we recommend standing up and ensuring you have plenty of room to swing your arms!
