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!

NintendoWorldReport: 7.5 / 10 by Nindie Spotlight
The question will be whether you'll want to stick out the ride long enough to enjoy it all. That will ultimately come down to tastes, what you're looking for, and how you're planning to play the game. Using it to fill gaps in your day 15 minutes at a time would probably be great, playing for hours at a time probably not so much.
GameZone: 8 / 10 by Lance Liebl
If you're up for a good, addictive puzzler, King Oddball is a great value at $6.99, considering it's cross buy with the PS Vita version.
GameGrin: 6 / 10 by Alex Hamilton
If you can look past the missed opportunity that is the lack of motion controls, and the fairly simplistic gameplay, you'll probably find a title that is entertaining in short bursts. Don't expect it to light your world on fire, though.
