GameSpewKieren HawkenSep 20169/10At first King Oddball seems to be quite simple, and you assume that there isn't that much to it, but oh, how wrong you can be!

GameZoneLance LieblApr 20148/10If you're up for a good, addictive puzzler, King Oddball is a great value at $6.99, considering it's cross buy with the PS Vita version.

PlayStation UniverseJohn-Paul JonesApr 20147.5/10A 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.

Push SquareSammy BarkerNov 20205/10The layout is different on each level, but you’ll mostly be relying on luck rather than skill. Still, this has a weird moreish appeal to it, and it’s got our claws into us again. Obviously, this type of title is best suited to smartphones or handhelds, but it’s so easy to zone out with it that we can see ourselves returning to it a lot over the coming weeks. Odd, indeed.

Sick CriticNathanael HuesoNov 20174.5/10My time with King Oddball left me more frustrated than anything else. There were brief times when I enjoyed myself, but I mostly just wanted to stop playing. I think you’re better off playing Angry Birds or something else if you really want a game in this genre.
