But that also meant I was rarely bored while playing Ooblets, and found myself easily sucked into the flow of completing odd jobs to accomplish bigger goals for hours.Īll of these mechanics are accompanied by sickenly adorable, offbeat dialogue and writing that I got a huge kick out of at first. – that I sometimes struggled with time and energy-management, as one does in farming games where time passes and stamina must be managed. There are so many micro-tasks that may or may not support these – like maintaining your farm, decorating your house, partaking in Dance Barn dance battles, etc. Tinstel Tasks are the main “quests” given by the Mayor (yes, she’s a child) that benefit Badgetown in some way. I appreciate Ooblets’ well thought out interconnecting systems, which made every task rewarding in its own way, no matter how menial. There are some console-specific bugs and overlooked details as well, like not being able to use the ZR or ZL buttons to tab through menus while the Switch is docked for some reason, but the developers at least seem to be aware and hopefully those issues will be patched out in the future. The Switch just can’t handle blades of grass blowing in the wind, I guess. You don’t have to spend much time there and I imagine it’s a beautiful area on other systems, but it stuttered so badly on Switch it made me nauseous. That is, until one particular, late game zone I don’t want to spoil. Despite the occasional hiccup, particularly at transitions between battles or talking to people, it held up okay. I played Ooblets on Nintendo Switch, and it’s worth quickly talking about its performance on the system. But it’s gorgeous, so, worth it! You can even give it a matching bow tie!
Glob, I struggled hard finding the Soggy Bread recipe in time to battle this dang pink Gleamy Bibbins.
I can’t tell you how many times I stumbled upon a rare Gleamy Ooblet (its equivalent of Pokemon’s Shinies), then excitedly scrambled to grow or craft the item it demanded before it disappeared at the end of the day. Each Oooblet has three variations, too–common, uncommon, and Gleamy–all of which you can turn in for increasing amounts, making it wise to stay stocked on duplicates of each enticing item I discovered. Welcoming a new Ooblet meant I could scan it to add to the almanac and earn Gummies, Ooblets’ currency.
