Our take on King Oddball
Rather than centering action on attacks controlled directly by the player, the game makes the release of one tongue-held boulder the main event. Movement, rebounds, explosions, and collapsing structures replace conventional combat encounters as the source of each level’s challenge.
What is King Oddball?
Release a boulder held by the King’s tongue and time its launch to crush as many targets as possible.
Each level relies on anticipating how the rock moves, including its rolls, rebounds, explosive launches, and interactions with collapsing structures. The game contains more than 120 levels, with controls centered on choosing the release moment. It also includes an eccentric visual style, a hidden moustache-themed world, and the Oddphone, which becomes available in the third world. An original soundtrack accompanies the action.
