    This game is so good, and so well-made, that it deserves your purchase regardless of the state of the market that it's in. But I see so many people complain about the state of mobile gaming. This is the game that you want, it's a fun platformer without in-app purchases that is absolutely stunning, and feels like it was made for mobile.

    As a platformer, Oddmar is among the best ones available on the App Store. It takes tropes from the genre and rearranges them into tight little packages that feel great to run through. It may not be the most original game out there, and its story may leave a little to be desired, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying this phenomenal platformer.

    Oddmar is a platform game almost perfect in its realization and its maneuverability, it is both beautiful and complete. His difficulty is well balanced, and his environments evolve gracefully throughout the journey to Valhalla video games.

    Oddmar looks absolutely stunning, and while the game underneath it all feels familiar, there's enough great ideas here to shine through.

    Oddmar is a challenging yet fun platformer that perfectly fits the mobile environment. With beautiful graphics and defined challenges per level, it represents a bright future for mobile games.

    Oddmar is a brilliant 2d plaftorm that stands out as one of the best mobile games of the year​.

    Featuring a high degree of polish and a scattering of secrets and collectibles in each level, it may not be particularly original, and its cut scenes outstay their welcome, but this relatively short and highly entertaining game certainly does not.

It does everything right. The hand-drawn artwork is console-quality gorgeous, the music is fitting, it's got fully voiced narration and cut scenes, the platforming is as good as Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and the story is compelling.

    Being a mobile game, levels are kept short with frequent checkpoints, but there are plenty of collectibles, secrets and dream sequences to go back for. It has speed running challenges and Game Center achievements, too. And despite being a mobile game, you won't find any in-app purchases in Oddmar.

    The game supports MFi controllers, but I've been playing with touch controls, and they are very, very good. You jump by swiping up, ground slam by swiping down, and attack by tapping. It takes a a bit of practice to get used to, but starts to feel very natural.

    I'm really enjoying Oddmar. If you're looking for a console-quality game on your iPhone or iPad, this is the one to get.    … Expand

    The most polished graphics you can see in a platformer game. I don't know how they achieved that but you can play it SMOOTHLY maybe almost onThe most polished graphics you can see in a platformer game. I don't know how they achieved that but you can play it SMOOTHLY maybe almost on every Apple product :D. I strongly recommend to play it on a BIG screen. iphone screens are too small to appreciate its graphics.

    The controls feel so natural, they probably put a lot of thought and effort to make it like that.

    It is not the most original or innovative game, but it is a combination of the elements of the classics. I prefer the games as possible as playable and not repetitive to the ones "oh ı have a very original revolutionary idea but don't know how to do it so here is a buggy and shaggy product you can maybe play in the sake of our unique minds.

    JUST PLAY IT and you'll know what ı mean.    … Expand

    It looks like an AAA game ... inspired Rayman Legends game
