Super Oscar

81 votes

If you want to make someone sound like more than they are then you need to add the word "super" to their name like Super Oscar. No one knows what kind of guy Oscar was but it doesn't matter now because he's super. And with that adjective comes a lot of responsibilities, like being called upon to be the hero of the land. This means that Oscar needs to prove that he deserves to be called super and go on adventure across different regions, defeating enemies, and collecting as many treasures as his pockets can hold.

About Super Oscar

Sometimes to be truly super, you need to do things that are worth of such a word or just be an all-around amazing person. This game focuses on a guy called Oscar who may have been super before all this wildness started. Now that he has the name, he needs to generate stories that are good enough to go along with it. It's unknown whether the land itself is in any danger, but it can still be a dangerous land. This is why you need to help Oscar get through it unscathed so that he can return a super adventurer.

How to Play

Super Oscar is a 2D platforming game about a guy running and jumping his way through worlds using the keyboard.

Controls

Left Arrow - Move Left
Right Arrow - Move Right
Spacebar - Jump (Tap again for Double Jump)
Z - Throw Fireballs

The goal is to reach the end of the level in one piece. Oscar will start large but if he takes a hit, he'll shrink. If he takes a hit while being small, he'll lose a life. If Oscar loses all his lives, he'll need to retry the level. You can choose between a Classic mode of multiple worlds or go through the Level Select.

The main menu is where you can select which mode you want to play and visit the shop where you can improve different parts of Oscar's stats. Each upgrade will cost a certain number of stars which you can earn by completing levels. When you jump into a level, Oscar will start on the left side of the screen and the goal will be at the far right. As Oscar progresses, he can bump blocks from below to break them and collect coins or items. Spiral candy will restore Oscar's height while Flame Candy will give him a fireball attack. He can also collect coins floating around the area while avoiding or defeating enemies by jumping on them or throwing fireballs at them. Hazards like pits will instantly take a life from Oscar. If he reaches the sign at the end, he'll complete the level.

Tips and Tricks

Oscar is quite bulky as a hero so it's very easy to slip up and run into something you didn't mean to hit. Play with Oscar's movements and look for the safest paths forward. Be careful when trying to jump on or over enemies in enclosed spaces as you might end up jumping into them.
