Exiting Early Access And Launching On Consoles, Ooblets Is Now Available
My brain automatically inserted the ‘T’ when I read Ooblets‘ ‘It’s oobin time!’ and not Jesus mk2’s latest Marvel flick, Morbius. It doesn’t matter now, I clicked, and so did you. What is this all about? Life, eh?
Nothing deep about the latter, but news about Glumberland’s game that I had to look up as the write-up wasn’t clear and the website wasn’t working. Consequently, don’t expect to see a review of this game, even though I’d love to play it.
Ooblets is essentially creature collection in a very cute environment that’s been six years in the making. Tasks include renovating your farm, raising ‘weird little pals’, dance-offs and helping the mayor save Badgetown.
Key features include:
- Customize your character’s style with a variety of unique outfits and accessories
- Grow otherworldly crops on your farm, craft treats, and sell them in town
- Build your own team of ooblets to participate in card-based dance battles, level up, and unlock new moves
- Daily challenges, dance tournaments, townsfolk quests, and badges will keep you very busy
- Give gifts and make friends with the kinda-odd residents of Badgetown
- Start with a rundown shack and turn it into a beautiful home with tons of decor and furniture options
- Play a plethora of pleasant minigames
- Run your own shop in town selling items you’ve crafted and collected
- Help the mayor save the town, and unlock the secrets of Oob along the way
- Get to know the townsfolk and befriend them if you’d like!
- Explore a bunch of regions, like the arcade-filled boardwalk in Port Forward, the spooky swamps of Nullwhere, and the frozen peaks of Tippytop
- (and you can pet the ooblets)
