Boundless is a surprisingly charming little sci fi platformer, and I liked how quickly it gets me into its story. I play as Shirley, a young girl trying to rescue her robot friend Spark after cosmic pirates attack their ship. The setup is simple, but I enjoyed the sense of urgency created by having to sneak into the enemy spacecraft and work my way toward him. The platforming is the main attraction for me. I move through side scrolling environments filled with traps, machinery and enemies, with later sections becoming more demanding as new obstacles are introduced. I liked that the game asks me to think about timing as well as movement. Some sections are about getting from one platform to another, while others make me carefully watch hazards before committing to the next move. The gadgets add a nice amount of variety to the otherwise straightforward platforming. The jetpack lets me reach areas that normal jumping cannot, while the magnetic orb allows me to manipulate metallic objects and solve environmental puzzles. I enjoyed getting a new ability and then immediately seeing how it could be used in the environment. That gives the progression a satisfying sense of purpose instead of simply making Shirley stronger. The different sections of the spacecraft also help the adventure stay visually interesting. I move through a scrapyard full of machinery, laser filled corridors, fast escape sequences and eventually the pirate command area. I liked that each section asks me to approach the platforming a little differently, while the low poly visuals and bright sci fi colours give the game a clean and distinctive look. My biggest issue is that the game can feel a little rough around the edges. Some of the platforming sections are more frustrating than challenging, particularly when I have to repeat a sequence after making a small mistake. The story is also fairly simple, and while I liked Shirley and Spark, I wanted more character development and more time to explore the world beyond the immediate rescue mission. The language support is another limitation for me. The game currently only supports Simplified Chinese for its interface, dialogue and subtitles, with English not supported. That is especially important because the story is a meaningful part of the experience, so I think players who cannot read Chinese may miss some of what the game is trying to communicate. Overall, Boundless is a cute and enjoyable sci fi platformer with some good ideas behind its movement and puzzle design. I liked the jetpack, magnetic abilities and changing environments, and the rescue story gives the short adventure a clear sense of direction. It could use smoother platforming, stronger storytelling and broader language support, but the core experience is fun enough that I came away with a positive impression. Rating: 6.4/10
