    Quem deu nota ruim é porque não conseguiu passar da fase dos 3 tanque com escudinho e o mini soldado no canto com 1 diamante sobrando

    Each of King Oddballs levels requires the player to destroy all the enemies on screen, including tanks and helicopters, using 3 boulders. To do this the player simply has to press a button to release each boulder as King Oddball swings them back and forth on his giant tounge.

    That description may make the game sound a bit out there but this is essentially an Angry Birds clone.

    That description may make the game sound a bit out there but this is essentially an Angry Birds clone. The gameplay does require a little bit of skill in terms of timing and deciding the best place to throw each boulder but more often than not you can complete levels through sheer luck in the end. Much like Angry Bird this is fun for 10 minutes here and there, and a good way to kill time sitting on the bus or train, but in the end it’s all too simple and repetitive. I can’t see anyone sticking with it for too long with so many more interesting games available on the PS4.    … Expand

    While the graphics and overall presentation are nothing special, this game is. This is a fun little puzzler that fans of Angry Birds should not miss. You could do a lot worse then the $7 or so it cost for this hidden gem.

    Pretty decent game, can get repetitive/boring fairly quick though. But it's only $7 so I think it's a worth it for that price.

    (Nothing else to say but need 150 characters so here we go)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I could not get enough of this game. I am really close to 100%. Make sure to reach the mustache level once you finish the first part of the game. would give 10 except for the repetitive nature of this game and one small bug (the tounge occasionally does not go out all the way and effects your throw.… Expand

    A fun little game to pass some time. Okay it's not going to win any GOTY awards but for the price it's a nice distraction. The puzzle elements are well done and there is a fair learning curve. The graphics are crisp and suit the style of the game. The music is also a nice touch and gives a good ambience.

    Would I recommend? Yes, if you enjoy 10-15 min bursts of fun here and there. Also    A fun little game to pass some time.

    The core of this game isn't bad, it has been done better in a lot of other places though. The main issue with this game is that luck plays an incredibly large part in whether or not you are successful in a level. This may be OK for the first few levels but when you're down to the last few and the skill you have gained through playing takes a backseat to luck, it makes for a rather annoyingThe core of this game isn't bad, it has been done better in a lot of other places though.

    It's not that you lose, it's just that you're not lucky enough to win. Or maybe you're super lucky in which case don't waste your time playing this game, go buy a lottery ticket.    … Expand

    The handful of days I spent playing this unassuming, low-budget physics tossing game were the highlight of my entire PS4 ownership, spanning hundreds of titles and thousands of dollars. The difficulty is absolutely perfectly set (I'm looking at you, Peggle), such that it can be beaten by a human being with a good amount of practice.

    Very funny game if you give it a chance.
    I had for sure 4 playthroughs. Thumb up

    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.

    Overall, King Oddball is a great game to turn on one in a while, perhaps after a rough game of Battlefied 4 or Titalfall, as it offers a fun, relaxing, and laid back experience.

    Boring level design, a lack of innovation and uninspired extras make this frustratingly difficult game hardly worth playing. Skip it.
