Oscar PC

A platformer developed by the Flair Software team, in which you will play the role of the title Oscar, a friendly animal that is a film star. The main task of our protagonist is to find all the statuettes awarded every year by the American Film Academy. A more closely unidentified witch scattered them on the grounds of a huge studio, so that the traditional ceremony could not take place.

The studio is divided into several sections, in which specific films are shot (horror movies, westerns, cartoons, etc.). The choice of scenario is completely free, so there is no need to play according to the order set by the authors of the game. In every world Oscar dresses up in a different costume, enemies and bonuses look different, which makes the fun more attractive. After choosing the land we are interested in, we start the right struggle: we jump on cunningly placed platforms, run, avoid or kill enemies, and of course we collect a large number of different lights, sweets and statuettes. The latter are necessary for the completion of a given stage - we learn about the amount of Oscars needed for luck at the beginning of the game.

We must honestly admit that it is the audiovisual setting and not playability that is the strongest point of the programme. Oscar is a very colorful product, perfectly animated and, most importantly, diversified in terms of stage design, so that it will not get bored quickly. It's worse with the game itself - our hero reacts with a delay to commands given to him, which can sometimes lead to fatal consequences. The game is difficult and you have to devote a lot of time before you start exploring new lands without any problems.
