Charming platforming adventure game
Oby Adventure is a free-to-try mobile adventure game developed by developer Aron Berlekom. It is a side-scrolling platformer set in a dangerous fantasy world of an ancient evil. Players will go on a perilous journey to collect artifacts that can help defend against the looming threat.
Similar to GRIS or Way of the Turtle, Oby Adventure boasts impressive visuals to complement its narrative-driven adventure. Players will also meet and interact with a cast of charming characters who have different stories and need help. Throughout their journey, they will visit multiple locations with distinct environments.
2D with a little bit of 3D
Oby Adventure takes place in the fantasy world of Fruitimal Kingdom, a peaceful place that is now under threat from the return of a menacing evil named Draco. The last remaining hope lies in collecting ancient artifacts that will unlock a great power called the Source, the only thing capable of stopping what's to come and saving the land. You are tasked with collecting them all.
What makes the gameplay in this game intriguing is its switching perspectives that seamlessly transition between 2D while platforming and 3D while exploring. The former has you take on various challenges with traps and enemies, while the latter transports you to multiple biomes with unique environments. The experience is rounded out by simple and intuitive controls that support both touch input and wireless controllers.
Now, as alluded to earlier, this version of the game is free to try for the first two levels only. If you want to experience everything, you can unlock the full version via in-app purchase. It unlocks all available levels along with bonus content and extra challenges to take on. It's also a fairly demanding game, so performance will vary depending on the hardware.
Charming and engaging
In summary, if you're a fan of platforming games and are looking for something new to play, Oby Adventure is worth a look. From its charming visuals to its engaging gameplay and a large world to explore, this platformer has plenty to like. Just know you have to make a purchase to unlock the full experience. Give it a shot and decide for yourself.
