We’re a small team, and OLO is the game we most love to play. People tell us they play it with their family, over dinner with friends, or on a date, and honestly that’s the nicest thing we hear. It’s a minimalist board game about skill and a little bit of cunning. Slide your OLOs toward your zone, nudge your opponents’ out of the way, and try not to get caught by the death finger. Easy to pick up in seconds, hard to put down, and best played shoulder to shoulder on one device. Play it two ways: head to head with one friend, or four of you together around the screen. Perfect for family, friends, or a date. The idea is simple: get as many of your OLOs into your target zone as you can. The fun is in how you do it, a gentle tap, a bold shove, or a well-timed bit of mischief to send someone else off course. It was an App Store Editors’ Choice worldwide and a Game of the Year runner-up, and it reached #1 in 22 countries. But we’re proudest that people still sit down and play it years later. What people have said: “OLO is one of the classiest productions you’ll ever see on iOS, a minimalist multiplayer game that’s as achingly gorgeous as it is perfectly tuned” — Eurogamer “A nearly perfect multiplayer game that’s as simple as it is beautiful” — Slide to Play “10/10. Its amazing that how a very simple concept can be so entertaining and addictive” — Action Radius “Internet craze OLO, ‘the Skee-Ball for the 21st century’” — The Daily Mail “Puzzling Fun for the Whole Family” — iPhoneAlley Inside: - A fresh, minimal design that gets out of the way - Two player, head to head - Four player, all together on one device - No internet needed, play anywhere - No ads, no in-app purchases, the whole game is yours - A calm, beautiful soundscape - Lots of colour themes to make it yours Thanks for taking a look. We hope OLO finds a place at your table.
