Odd Dorable

Cinematographic masterpiece that touched the deepest part of my soul

the game has a really unique artstyle to it (the main reason i bought the game) and it was pretty interesting to be able to go around this vibrant world that a child was able to bring to life. some things i liked were: its aesthetics (mostly the artstyle) and the puzzles some things that i had issues with were: a decrease in frames per second when a lot of objects (trees and stuff) were on screen. i cant say much since i havent really played it much, but do reccomend if you wanna find stuff :3 (also say pspspss to mr october and tuchka)

Un walking simulator en el que tienes que encontrar caramelos para terminar el juego. Más que nada compré la historia de que un padre hizo este juego con su hija pequeña, bonita historia y bonito juego. Te lo pasas en una sentada.

[h1] Sweet Candy [/h1] This game is an odd one to reflect on. Certainly, using a child's drawing to bring a video game world to life and to let the player experience its silliness is a unique thing to do. I really did hope to come here and unleash words of praise and positivity, but personally I left with some mixed feelings. The game is all right at best. Let's put aside the unique major selling point of having a child's vision of the world set as the art style and just talk about what the game has to offer and who it might sell itself to. If I had to come up with a similar type of game, I would consider the Mario games. Let's say my favourite classic of all time, Super Mario 64. Odd Dorable is the simplified version of one single game world in Super Mario 64, just to give you an idea of what this game demands in terms of puzzle logic and world exploration. It is fun to walk through the peaceful and colourful world. I really enjoyed the a cappella SFX and the child's voice used to give the NPCs and animals some sound to communicate back to you. Perhaps that is the best part: to walk to every place once and take in the sound and the visuals. The walking speed in this game is rather slow, and the sprint felt inconsistent at times. It was slower at the beginning and gained more and more sprint speed throughout the game, but never increased at the same point in both of my playthroughs. It could have been fast from the very beginning. Other than that, the puzzles are easy enough, finding sweet candy for the princess is easy enough, and there are some secrets and Easter eggs to discover. All of that alone would suffice for the short length of the game, if it weren't for the poor performance, the invisible walls and the bugs. The game runs poorly. I would assume that the large number of overlapping 2D textures makes rendering go crazy. Depending on positioning and viewing angle, the FPS count drops down to 10–15 FPS, leading to small input delays and stuttering. In addition, I had to restart the game once after encountering a bug in which one sweet candy didn't spawn after I had solved the appropriate puzzle. I am uncertain what caused it, as I recreated my steps in the second playthrough and managed to acquire the candy that time. It was a bummer to restart, since the game doesn't have a save feature. Something else that makes exploration a little less fun is the number of invisible walls and hitboxes. Of course the world has boundaries, but some objects, like trees, seem to have a bigger hitbox than the texture itself. Sometimes I bumped into things I couldn't see and had to move around them. It's not terribly annoying, but each time it breaks the immersion a little. Overall, the game is, as said before, all right. I came with the expectation of playing a short, unique game, and I did. It wasn't as exciting as I had perhaps hoped. After all, it felt like this game wasn't really made for us players. I mean, a game like this clearly attracts collectors, achievement hunters and enjoyers of the more unusual types of games. But all of those miss the one purpose this game finds itself in. To use a child's art to tell a story is to preserve it. Perhaps it is a love letter to a very special someone who will one day look back on it and get to rejoice in a range of hopefully memorable emotions about a loving father and a young daughter. The game is not made for us, it's made for her, and we just got the privilege of being part of it. And that's what I think is best about this game.

Cute.

not sure why i didnt write a review for this sooner but oh well this is such an adorable game and although simple, i really like the art style and the fact that it was done by the dev's daughter :) i even almost cried at one point lmao

It's a cute game, but the controls kept messing up while me and my son were playing. trying to go straight would make me go left while trying to right would make me go backwards. Would also be a little better if we were pointed in the right direction as we didn't know where exactly we were meant to go

Yeah that was a cute idea

está lindo
