Oddventure Land

Oddventure Land is an adventure game based on Disney XD shows, developed by Playerthree for the Disney UK website on December 15, 2014. A labyrinth explorer, it invites players to navigate inside unknown realms in search of several stolen valuable collections.

Gameplay[]

A selection of five discrete characters is set forth to live as, all conveying jumbled attributes and assorted armaments adapted towards the zany exploration. They can be entirely controlled using the mouse, with a click on a specified direction sending the avatar to that location and a press next to unruly enemies and fragile objects working out to a hilarious smashing. So as to get the commands familiarized, a simple guide landscape is yielded comprising a linear horizontal group of mostly tranquil arena rooms duly steered by a jocular quartet.

Dauntless dungeons are randomly generated in a top-down panorama from one of three types. Traversing them, the user may get a hefty quantity of coin loot and power items to enhance the icon's qualities and amass levels for further boosts, arbitrarily purchasable at interlacing shops as well. XD symbols must be collected in every area to open up the ground portals to the subsequent terrains, tallying in at five emblems per persona. Amidst the way, two bosses pointedly conditioned by the prior tract have to be fought post phases two and five.

Background Information[]

On the overall interface, elements reminiscent of fantasy tales are positioned to flourish the classical excapade mood explicity aimed for in the activity. Examples of these are extending trees, dragon tails, monster hands, glistening chains, rusty shields, tarnished maps, spoon and fork allegorical crosses, and protruding worms.
Amongst the triad of setting types are the regular dungeons, the snowy forests, and the magma caves, uniquely separated due to containing some exclusive assailants, a special boss, individual boxes, and a varied treasure distribution. Grottos are remarkably the most barren in makeup, contrasting with the counterpart jungles and castles notably opposite in length and souvenir constitution; the former is shorter yet pervaded and the latter is bigger but emptied.
Within the distinct layouts, there are crates in the facilities, flowers in the woodlands, and barrels in the undergrounds to destroy for the possibility of obtaining coins. Apple produces and chicken wings may be additionally encountered through these to recover 30 life points upon consumption.
A roster of 61 different tiles is cached intrinsically to randomize the flamboyant worlds. On the 45x45 grid dispatched, this is equivalent to a statistically infinite total of about 2 x 10^3615 possible arrangements for every field category, albeit a sensible percentage of those permutations is rightfully ignored owing to having an insufficient walking field.
Supply markets have configuration changes similar in nature to the main environments, though altering the wall exhibits in place of the flooring. Considering the seven stands and seven drawn commodities, an aggregate of 823,543 partition trinket combinations are achievable.
For diverse playstyles, weapons wielded by the starring cast are divided into hand-to-hand and projectile artillery, given that Dipper's fists, Phineas' guitar, and Kirby's pencil are meele kinds and Kaz's stethoscope and Wander's bubble are ranged sorts.
Victory animations are executed by the independent personalities after obtaining an article, consisting in shaking back-and-forth for Dipper, shredding the guitar for Phineas, raising the pencil for Kirby, elevating the apparel for Kaz, and stretching arms for Wander.
Peculiarly, precisely five boosters are factually dedicated to each avatar property besides the punching velocity, which seems to be upgraded only via the process of leveling up in the inspection course.
Clicking the backpack sign stationed on the top-left corner of the screen opens a makeshift inventory system detailing the adventurer's current health, experience, level, assembled gems, garnered gold, and aspect ranks.
If a death occurs, the player is forced to restart the whole escapade from the beginning, regardless of their crawling progress. This is an intentionally implemented method of permadeath utilized to emulate the rogue style of early role-playing titles.^[1] Headways can still be saved by going to the home page via the pause monitor option, however.
Members of the funny enlightening squad are Xandor, Xandi, the Wizard, and the Elf, with the former two having their names, abbreviated to "XD", disclosed solely in the internal strings.^[3] Each of them allude to dissimilar heroes; Xandor and Xandi are representations of Toon Link and Toon Zelda from The Legend of Zelda, the Wizard is a parody of Yen Sid, and the Elf was the mascot for the Disney XD Holiday 2014 promotion in Europe.
In the tutorial, the comical personalities are outstandingly portrayed in a rather self-aware demeanor, as Xandor tells the hero to not question the sudden request, Xandi outright namedrops the light RPG genre and affirms hidden mementos are chiefly to boost ego, and the Elf suggests lying about the potential traits to one's friends and indicates that the ultimate award for the mission is a handshake. All of this is done purposefully to mock users' common expectations for enacting exploits from the very start.^[1]
One affiliate from the eccentric team can be located in every domain, uttering a scattered dialogue out of a determined portion upon being approached:^[3]
- Xandor says either "You can learn how to fight each monster by watching the way they attack", "Find them!", "A chest!", or "Collect everything! This world is random so you can never come back!".
- Xandi says either "Do I look like I need rescuing?", "Don't you have adventuring to do?", "Watch out for the toilet knights!", or "Text me if you find my pet dragon... otherwise leave me alone".
- The Wizard says either "Have you seen...? Where is...? Wait, who are you?", "I was a mighty wizard once. I had a golden hat and everything...", "Last week, I realised I've been using a toilet brush for a wand for the last hundred years... I thought I was turning into a toilet knight", "Leave me, young one. I'm watching cartoons... in my mind...", or "Keep coming back - the levels are random. That's why I keep getting lost!".
- The Elf says either "You'll never find all the gems! La, la, la la, la!", "It's dangerous out there! Take this... oh, wait, I've lost it! You'll probably find our things out there", or "These levels are random. You'll never find the gems!".
Two of the humorous speeches are references to The Legend of Zelda series. Xandi asserting not to require rescuing is a subversion of the damsel in distress trope applied to her inspiration Princess Zelda, while the Elf offering a handy artefact nods to the famous quote by a thoughtful senior in the original The Legend of Zelda game.
Augmentation stores are headed by Steve the Llama, an animated host for Disney XD blocks during the year of 2014. Just like the rest, he is able to give a handful of short remarks once his presented items are bought or become unattainable:^[3]
- When a single item is bought: "That looks great on you", "It really suits your eyes", "You need all the help you can get", "Nice choice", "Excellent purchase", "Totally XP man", "You know I found that yesterday", "No money back no guarantee", "You like to shop huh?", or "I wanna be your friend".
- When all three items are bought: "Woah you cleaned me out!", "I gotta restock", "You want my pants too?", "I like an impulsive shopper", "For the knight who has everything", "Don't ask me what it does", "I have no idea why it smells like that", "Only one careless owner", or "100% dungeon designed".
- When there is not enough money for an item: "You're out of cash man", "I don't accept credit, but carrots... maybe", "No gold, no sold", "Come back soon", "There's gold out there, go get it!", or "Hey I like your face, but I'm not a charity".
A few of the accomplishment rewards directly spoof miscellaneous fiction films in their designations. "Edward Splinter Hands" is a riff on the movie Edward Scissorhands, and "Need a Bigger Bag" lampoons the prominent phrase "We're gonna need a bigger boat" from the picture Jaws.
While the recommended playstyle is to click repeatedly, a more effective manner to maneuver the avatar is by holding and moving the pointer to the designated orientations, thus enabling a continuous motion throughout the zones without having to tediously input pushes.
Advancements with any character become discarded altogether once the initial play button is clicked, even if the icon has a completed story beforehand, allowing for sustained fresh recommencements at the cost of supplementary level progressions.
Oddly, the permanent demise feature is apparently bypassed in the case of one falling on a boss battle. Restarting from there propels the user back into the fight, although wholly devoid of levels and having a singular ornament accounted for.
By reason of a coding oversight, three of the intended four rare jewelry are adequately programmed to be generated, since the skin for the ruby is mistakenly placed onto the sapphire, effectively fusing the two precious stones into a single structure. Besides this, the speeches by Steve devoted to the retail debut and cleaning his establishment are not rendered, and attribute scores are summed incorrectly.
