OddPlanet

Can't recommend when there are many more and better sidescrolling adventures out there. The game does a very poor job of signposting anything to the player. What can be interacted with, will this enemy see me if I just stay still or do I need to be hidden, when can a carried item be used or not, etc. And for a game that overrelies on you trying to sneak by the same spider creatures over and over, not communicating what will cause you to be caught and what won't, and not keeping that consistent, is the absolute opposite of fun. There was once I had to consult the walkthrough as it looked just like the game had bugged out but actually I had just not completed the next step in the puzzle ([spoiler]The snail would not move when I pushed him, my character started with the pushing movement and appeared to be walking, but instead of the snail moving, both my character and the snail just vaguely vibrated with a glitchy sound[/spoiler]). And again at the very end puzzle, the game wouldn't let me use the item where I tried to use it. Instead I had to walk a little bit further to trigger some speech and return and it will automatically activate. Whereas I kept pushing further right after …

Another limbo-clone. This one is devoid of an options menu and suffers from some strange control choices. Doesn't do enough to set itself apart.

OddPlanet, developed and published by Indievision, is a side-scrolling atmospheric adventure that blends platforming, light survival elements, and environmental storytelling into a compact indie experience. The game places players in control of a young girl who crash-lands on a mysterious alien world, far from home and surrounded by unfamiliar life forms. What initially appears to be a serene and visually striking planet quickly reveals itself to be dangerous and unforgiving, setting the stage for a journey defined by caution, isolation, and quiet tension. The core gameplay revolves around traditional 2D platforming mechanics. Players guide the protagonist through a series of environments filled with environmental hazards, predatory creatures, and unstable terrain. There is no emphasis on combat; instead, survival depends on observation and careful movement. Jump timing, positioning, and learning enemy behavior are critical to progress. Because the character lacks offensive abilities, encounters with hostile wildlife often require avoidance rather than confrontation. This design choice reinforces vulnerability and amplifies the sense of being a small figure in a vast, hostile ecos…

Nice overall game. The one ploblem is having no idea when or where there is something to pick up available.

Controls feel extremely clunky and unresponsive, and you die because of that... a lot... like a LOT! The only thing I can recommend about this game is the translations, they are so miserable you want to see the next bad translation. Ich heiße dich Pepito!

A QTE game in the same mood as limbo. Beautiful game, a little bit short.
