Oddworld Adventures 2 is a platformer released in 2000 for the Game Boy Color, developed by Saffire and published by GT Interactive.

It landed about 2 years into the GBC's life. Other notable GBC releases from 2000 include Wario Land 3, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Grand Theft Auto 2.

It is part of the Oddworld series. The series also appears on other systems with Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PS1) and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (PS1). Saffire also made Billy Bob's Huntin'-n-Fishin', Catz and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial: Escape from Planet Earth for the GBC.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the GBC hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Oddworld Adventures 2 is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
