The game doesn’t exactly tell you the history of the Ooblets. Plant and water it, and your Ooblet joins your party.Īs to where these little critters came from, that’s a mystery.

Instead, after a dance-off victory, the Ooblet you challenged will “poop” out a seed for you to grow. The difference: Ooblets battles are dance-offs and you don’t actually “capture” them. Like Pokemon, they can live with humans and battle amongst each other. Ooblets are small, gentle creatures that love to dance. Even if the game isn’t 100 percent finished, there’s a lot to do while the developers continue pushing out updates. With a large combination of different styles, Ooblets does a pretty good job juggling them. The game itself is like playing a combination of: Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Harvest Moon, with art influences from Keita Takahashi ( Katamari Damacy, Noby Noby Boy ).

While it took some time, an early access of Ooblets was released in mid-July of 2020. In early August 2019, the developers of Ooblets announced that the game would be released on the Xbox One and exclusively on the Epic Games Store on the PC.

The game originally was to be published by Double Fine, but in 2019, the company was acquired by Microsoft. Ooblets is an indie, life-simulation game that began development in 2016 with artist/programmer Rebecca Cordingley and designer Ben Wasser.
