    I enjoyed the one level of this I could play. Level 2 refuses to download as the game insists I don’t have an internet connection (I do).

    Just bought the game and played the first level, great stuff, I was holding back because of the controls, don’t like on screen buttons, but on youtube I saw a vid from AppUnwrapper and she showed me that you can play without on screen buttons, so I bought it in an instant and the controls are very good I must say and what everybody is saying that it looks great is true.

    Great game so far.

    Always glad when a platformer/jump‘n‘run has mfi support.

    Maybe an optional hard mode wouldn‘t hurt but I‘m content with the difficulty. You mostly have to play levels at least twice anyway (one coin run and another time run - Except for the dream world levels). The graphics are gorgeous, the story is interesting and funny, quite a few hours of playtime, different challenges (I particulary like the dream worlds) -
    All in all, for only 5 bucks Oddmar is a steal.

    Everybody who loves platformers even a little bit shouldn’t hesitate to buy this little gem. At the current price this game is a steal.

    You should definitely get an mfi controller :)

    Most games are so much better with mfi than with touch (if they support it of course).

    But be warned, it’s easy to get spoiled - Gotten so far that I already haven‘t bought some games because they don‘t have mfi support. ;)

    Is gameplay supposed to have no sound and no music? The cutscene audio is fine, but playing the level completely silent. I tried quitting the app and also deleted and reinstalled. Neither worked.

    Not sure what’s going on with your system, but the gameplay has both sounds and a soundtrack (of course).

    I seem to have an additional problem, insofar as the game is also failing to recognise my internet connection.

    So I appear to be stuck with level 1.

    And only level 1.

    Yes it happened to me, too.
    I think there should be a switch to trigger the download function totally.

    I’m sure the additional in-game download is meant to be a one-time thing.
    And it seemed to me that the download continued in the background while you could play the first level, which is a great way to handle it.

    I hope these rare problems get taken care of, because I don’t want anyone to find an excuse to miss this game.

    Eyes on the ball, here:
    This is the most gorgeous, most impressive, most triple-A platformer available on the AppStore.

    The level of polish and detail and effort put into this game is incredible.

    iOS gamers are lucky to the point of being SPOILED to have this game tailor-made for this platform.

    THIS DEFINES PREMIUM.

    For what it’s worth, the “no internet connection” bug, if it is a bug, happened to me too. Delete and reinstall fixed it for me (including deleting the Oddmar data in iCloud).

    I just fully completed the game, including getting all coins, runes, completing all valhalla worlds and all timed levels (including the achievement for beating one 30 secs under the par).
    At some point in world 2 I went back to complete everything missing then I didn’t go on next level if previous one was not completed, to get the most from the game.
    It was never frustrating and pacing was imho just perfect.
    Took me 10 hours according to my battery usage, I feel like I robbed the devs.
    Last world was simply amazing.

    Game is absolutely GLORIOUS (on any platform, if it ever lands on consoles, switch or PC), a must buy.

    Well I already sent messages to the developer, hope they can find out the solution.

    The game is great so it is deserved to wait.

    Update:

    I will update the post if the developer replied again.

    Can we expect updates on New Game + or difficulty selection options? :D

    Did any of the previous updates have been made to Leo's fortune? There is no mention of it in the update history.

    Maybe you will get the answer sooner if you send FB messages to the developer like me, though I already tell them the game got so many discussions here, maybe they will show up later.

    BTW I like the idea about new game+ :)

    Oh, you contacted the developer through Facebook.
    Thank you for letting us know.
    I did not know they would communicate on the SNS.
    I thought they used SNS only as a means of promoting the game. :p

    Anybody want to give me a hint for the dreamworld in level 3-4?
    What do I do with those fire ball shooters?
