Super Oliver World

Super Oliver World is a Mario-like 2D action platformer featuring retro pixelated graphics, old-school arcade-style sound effects, and tricky gameplay. Oliver is getting chased by a flock of angry birds when he abruptly stumbles upon a portal that leads to what seems to be another dimension.

Jump onto the various monsters to exterminate them and bump the blocks with your head to spawn boosts or earn coins. Collect three stars in each of the 15 progressively more challenging levels to earn the highest score. Completing the game is quite a feat, and as if there wasn’t for the joy of accomplishing it, even just attempting it is an amazing fine motor skill exercise.

How to play Super Oliver World

Each level is linear, so every failure is a chance to learn something new, enabling you to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. This is the first half of victory — the second being actually executing the tricky mechanics. You can control the protagonist’s trajectory mid-jump in this game. Make the best of this ability to stand a chance of overcoming all the challenges ahead.
