Our #1 Family Fave
My kids and husband enjoy all kinds of video games. I, on the other hand, do not.
That is… until our family discovered King Oddball 🩶
I wasn’t sure I’d like it at first, but it was extremely easy to learn how to play & understand the game’s objective, so I figured I’d give it a shot… and I was instantly OBSESSED!
King Oddball is the 1 game that every member of our family loves to play individually, but even more so as a family — whether it’s for 30 minutes, or all afternoon on a rainy Sunday — there’s nothing that brings us all together like King Oddball.
When we play as a family, each of us takes a turn to attempt completing one of the many levels, which all vary in difficulty. Some levels we can complete on the 1st try… but others are no easy feat. They take a lot of strategic thinking, trial & error and a pinch of luck to figure out how to execute the physics & exact angles to perfectly time the release of King Oddball’s rocks in order to defeat all of the enemies. 1 level we played was so challenging that it felt impossible to beat… but instead of throwing in the towel and giving up, we all agreed that the level was our “Everest” and we would not quit until we conquered it as a team! Finally, after about 90 minutes of our joint attempts, my son was the one who beat the level… and the happy screams, cheers, jumping up and down, high-5’s and group hugs was an amount of camaraderie so far beyond anything I could have ever imagined would stem from working together to complete a single level of a game. Witnessed out of context, one might think we’d just won the lottery!
King Oddball will always hold a special place in my heart as the reason for bringing my family together for quality time to do something we ALL enjoy, and has remained our favourite game for years.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If I could give it 10 stars, I would ⭐️
