What players say
I'm struggling to find the words to describe the vibe of the game. The mechanics are very fun and the movement is great, that's for sure. The mix of a great liquid dnb soundtrack and silly goober visuals was a little tonally confusing at first, but god it was such a great time lmao. It went on sale for basically nothing, buy it and support the dev it's a great afternoon.
This is an extremely unique game. The story is short and sweet as well as comedic and entertaining. I like these kinds of games where creativity is prioritized, carefully honed, and utilized to it's full potential alongside easy to use and learn but hard to master movement systems. It's platforming is also very well executed, with easy access to mods from the steam workshop, though unfortunately not very many mods...
Orbo's Odyssey is a brilliant bite-sized platformer that punches well above its weight. The movement mechanics are tight and satisfying and ultimately the game left me wanting much more. It's full of charm and has some surprisingly deep worldbuilding, despite its silly exterior. All killer no filler, can't recommend this one enough. Eagerly awaiting future projects from this developer!
