When the visually stunning platformer Viking Mushroom went silent after its initial unveiling back in the summer of 2015, nobody was more excited than I was to see it resurrected under a brand new name last month. That new name is Oddmar, and it really looked like the few years of silence were put to good use polishing up the experience. Oddmar is a free movement platformer starring a viking of the same name who is out to protect the world from a bad guy with a humongous nose. Or something like that. It's from some of the folks who are responsible for Leo's Fortune [$4.99], one of the best platformers on mobile, so you know Oddmar is worth getting excited about. We were able to go hands-on with Oddmar during GDC a couple of weeks back, and were really impressed with what we saw. Here's the official trailer again in case you missed it before.
Pretty crazy, yeah? Ever since seeing that new trailer, I've been dying to know when I'd be able to get my hands on the official release version of Oddmar. Well, now we know. The game is set to launch on April 19th for $4.99, and it's up for pre-order on the App Store right now. Just click on this link on an iOS 11 device and you'll be taken to the App Store page for Oddmar where you'll purchase the game and, when it launches, you'll get a notification on your device that it's out and the game itself will automatically download to your phone or tablet. It's like buying stuff in the future. So if you've been excited for Oddmar too, whether it be from its recent re-introduction or from back when it was known as Viking Mushroom, I think it's pretty safe to go ahead an pre-order this sucker and look forward to playing it nonstop once April 19th rolls around.
