Game Details: The gameplay is based on pressing a button at precisely the right moment. The King picks up a rock
The gameplay is based on pressing a button at precisely the right moment. The King picks up a rock with his tongue and swings it back and forth like a pendulum. The rock is released when you hit X. It’s not just a simple test of timing though: After the first few levels, you’ll need to crush more enemies than you have rocks for. That, in turn, requires careful strategy and anticipation of how the chain reactions will unfold.

"King Oddball is fun, it really is. I could see myself playing this on my phone, or even my Vita, even though there are much better things to play on Vita. But as far as I can see, there is absolutely no reason to buy this on Ps4, and if this appeals to you, I would recommend buying it on a mobile platform." ... Read full review

Quem deu nota ruim é porque não conseguiu passar da fase dos 3 tanque com escudinho e o mini soldado no canto com 1 diamante sobrando

Okay it's not going to win any GOTY awards but for the price it's a nice distraction. The puzzle elements are well done and there is a fair learning curve. The graphics are crisp and suit the style of the game. The music is also a nice touch and gives a good ambience.

Would I recommend? Yes, if you enjoy 10-15 min bursts of fun here and there. Also the kids enjoy it. :)… Expand

Pretty decent game, can get repetitive/boring fairly quick though. But it's only $7 so I think it's a worth it for that price.

The main issue with this game is that luck plays an incredibly large part in whether or not you are successful in a level. This may be OK for the first few levels but when you're down to the last few and the skill you have gained through playing takes a backseat to luck, it makes for a rather annoying game.

It's not that you lose, it's just that you're not lucky enough to win. Or maybe you're super lucky in which case don't waste your time playing this game, go buy a lottery ticket.… Expand

Each of King Oddballs levels requires the player to destroy all the enemies on screen, including tanks and helicopters, using 3 boulders. ToEach of King Oddballs levels requires the player to destroy all the enemies on screen, including tanks and helicopters, using 3 boulders. To do this the player simply has to press a button to release each boulder as King Oddball swings them back and forth on his giant tounge.

That description may make the game sound a bit out there but this is essentially an Angry Birds clone. The gameplay does require a little bit of skill in terms of timing and deciding the best place to throw each boulder but more often than not you can complete levels through sheer luck in the end. Much like Angry Bird this is fun for 10 minutes here and there, and a good way to kill time sitting on the bus or train, but in the end it’s all too simple and repetitive. I can’t see anyone sticking with it for too long with so many more interesting games available on the PS4.… Expand
