The Totally Unnecessary Things That Make Ooblets Fun

Ooblets is a game where you explore a world, build a farm, collect Ooblets that dance battle, and complete tasks for a child mayor.

It has over 75 thousand followers on Twitter.

One of the main mechanics of this game is dance battle using a deck of cards. This scene could easily be simplified to just the cards, but instead you get to watch a pretty basic cutscene every time you enter into a battle. I love watching that cutscene, it hypes you up!

Here’s more of the totally unnecessary things that makes Ooblets delightful:

The mayor is a child.

When you walk your “follow babies” walk with you.

The characters just stand there dancing.

The sprinklers are water guns.

There’s a conspiracy theory about the mysterious cans that show up in Badgetown.

Fishing is called “sea dangling.”

There’s a photo booth.

If you want to be innovative and fun, make something totally unnecessary.
