AppSmile: Oddy Smog’s Misadventure, a terrific new addition to the jumping-for-distance family of games populated by the likes of Jump O’Clock, Dizzypad, and Captain Ludwig, has been released by Medusa and is now available from the app store. Whereas those other games generally require you to simply jump from one spinning platform to another, Oddy Smog adds a good deal of difficulty and a bunch of different elements to really challenge the player.
Oddy Smog’s Midadventure is a beautiful game—and, happily, also a really fun one. You play a little black smudge named Oddy Smog in his quest to escape his old life of dreary service to the System. To do so, you must cling and jump between the different cogs, each time trying to get higher…and higher…and higher…
Oddy Smog’s Misadventure is the latest in what seems like a never-ending supply of survival games on the iTunes App Store. Unlike much of its competition, however, Oddy Smog requires a certain degree of skill and patience that isn’t found enough in the high score/survival genre. Players will guide Oddy upwards by way of an endless series of gears that make up the chimney’s interior. Constantly spinning, players will slingshot Oddy from gear to gear as he progresses up the chimney.

The endless high score game is a popular genre in the App Store, as Doodle Jump and it's 5 million downloads will attest to. One of the more recent titles to catch our eye is Oddy Smog's Misadventure by two-man developer Medusa. At first glance you might just dismiss Oddy Smog as a clone of Glu Mobile's Jump O'Clock, and while true they share similarities at the very basic level Oddy Smog offers a pretty different experience that we're finding hard to put down.
