End the world in a unique skill based physics puzzle! King Oddball swings a boulder back and forth by its tongue. Release the boulder by tapping the screen. Time the release accurately to crush as many targets as possible with each boulder. Extra boulders are awarded when crushing three or more targets with a single boulder. Anticipate how boulders roll and bounce. Use explosive crates to wreak havoc on the puny humans. Take advantage of collapsing structures too! Conquer the world by defeating the humans in more than 120 fun and increasingly challenging levels!

Nice, simple and hard-as-nails

I liked KO. Keeping things simple, having an irreverent tone it did not catch my imagination but allowed me to play a puzzle game one level at a time. However, I ultimately found it lacking in variety and too dependent on luck - requiring chaining specific hops and bounds that not only depend on exact stone release but also on the changing position of helicopters, for example. In essence, I found the later stages too finicky and hard, for not enough reward. DNF.

I cannot tell if I'm good at this title or it's the easiest physics title I've played.
