We’ve been all kinds of excited for Oddmar ($4.99), a new game from the folks behind one of the App Store’s best ever platformers Leo’s Fortune ($4.99), ever since we learned about it last month. In fact though the story of Oddmar goes back even further than that. Originally announced in 2015 under the name Viking Mushroom, it looked like the project might never see the light of day due to going silent following its unveiling. Thankfully that wasn’t the case, and after that re-debut last month and our hands-on time with the game at GDC about a week later, Oddmar was given an official release date of April 19th and was put up for pre-order in the App Store a couple of weeks ago. Generally, pre-order games don’t go live until the actual day listed on the pre-order page, but to the delight of many anxious gamers like myself Oddmar has broken that tendency and is now live in the App Store a day early.
Given the incredibly high quality of Leo’s Fortune, I think it’s pretty safe to just dive right into Oddmar if you’ve been anticipating it. It’s a five dollar premium game with no IAP, and all signs point to it being yet another fantastic platformer. If you’re the wait-and-see type though, then expect more from us about Oddmar in the very near future and you can check out the early impressions from other players by visiting the game’s forum thread.
