Oddmar

Description

Oddmar is a delightful action-adventure platformer that immerses players in a vibrant world inspired by Norse mythology. Developed by MobGe Games and Senri, this charming title initially graced mobile devices before expanding to Nintendo Switch and macOS. The game centers on Oddmar, a Viking who feels like an outsider in his village, yearning for acceptance and a place in Valhalla. His chance at redemption arrives in a dream, where a fairy bestows upon him extraordinary jumping abilities via a magical mushroom, just as his village faces an ominous disappearance. This sets Oddmar on an epic journey through enchanting forests, towering snowy mountains, and treacherous mines. The core gameplay is a masterclass in classic 2D platforming, featuring responsive controls for running, jumping, and attacking. Oddmar's movement, while sometimes described as slightly "floaty," allows for precise maneuvers, including impressive wall jumps, further enhanced by his ability to create temporary mushroom platforms. As players progress through 24 meticulously hand-crafted levels, they unlock new abilities, powerful enchanted weapons, and protective shields, all purchasable with collectible triangles scattered throughout the game. The combat and platforming challenges are complemented by varied level designs, including thrilling chase sequences, auto-runner segments, memorable boss battles, and even segments where Oddmar rides friendly creatures. Visually, Oddmar is a true standout, boasting a stunning, hand-drawn art style and exceptionally fluid animations that evoke the polish of acclaimed titles like Rayman Legends. The world is brought to life with intricate details, and the characters and enemies possess distinct personalities. The narrative unfolds through beautifully rendered, fully voiced motion comics, contributing to the game's high production values. The accompanying soundtrack effectively enhances the adventurous spirit of the game. Each level is packed with hidden collectibles, rewarding exploration and mastery of the mechanics. Bonus areas often present unique challenges like time trials or demanding platforming gauntlets, providing excellent replayability. With well-placed checkpoints, Oddmar is also accessible for shorter gaming sessions. Critically acclaimed, particularly for its mobile release which earned an Apple Design Award, Oddmar is celebrated for its gorgeous visuals, polished gameplay, intuitive controls, imaginative level design, and overall charm, making it a must-play for any platformer enthusiast.
