Release Date: September 27, 2012
Two-dimensional arcade and logic game very similar to the hit series Angry Birds. Players control a huge stone ball with a face floating in the air, which with its own tongue fires boulders at soldiers.
End the world in a unique skill based physics puzzle! King Oddball swings a boulder back and forth by its tongue. Release the boulder by tapping the screen. Time the release accurately to crush as many targets as possible with each boulder.
Extra boulders are awarded when crushing three or more targets with a single boulder. Anticipate how boulders roll and bounce. Use explosive crates to wreak havoc on the puny humans. Take advantage of collapsing structures too!
Conquer the world by defeating the humans in more than 120 fun and increasingly challenging levels!
Single tap gameplay. How hard can it be?
Unique skill based physics puzzle
More than 120 levels + secrets!

Game Ratings for King Oddball Video Game.
Push Square: 5 / 10 by Sammy Barker
The layout is different on each level, but you’ll mostly be relying on luck rather than skill. Still, this has a weird moreish appeal to it, and it’s got our claws into us again. Obviously, this type of title is best suited to smartphones or handhelds, but it’s so easy to zone out with it that we can see ourselves returning to it a lot over the coming weeks. Odd, indeed.
PS3Blog.net: 75 / 100
King Oddball is a fun arcade release that is easy to pick that is worth your time on Nintendo Switch. There is more than enough content to justify its price point, with well over a 100 levels to complete and a good challenge that increases at a steady pace.
PlayStation Universe: 7.5 / 10 by John-Paul Jones
A stand-out physics puzzler very much in the Angry Birds mould, King Oddball has enough tweaks and accessibility of play to make it a worthwhile proposition for most, though folks adverse to the charms of Rovio's avian slinger will find little here to change their minds.
