Out of Place is a 2.2 Insane level by djudjeito. It is the fourth level of the Space Gauntlet. Out of Place received widespread acclaim for its song representation, artwork, and effects, but it was criticized for its monotonous gameplay. Ultimately, it went on to place seventh in the Space Gauntlet Contest, ahead of Jova and behind Alien Dream Emulator.
