The Day Odin Got Up on the Wrong Side of Bed

First off, I'd like to say that Odin has one of the best names for a ZZT game.

The game starts with an apropriate opening seqence that sets the mood quite well (apart from the inaccuracy about Odin living on top of Olympus.) From there it's on to the game where you guide Odin up a mountain in sort of a faux-platform style. You collect some fish for points and kill some things as you go. The enemies aren't difficult and the time limit is pointless, but the game is more about comedy than anything else and I believe it excells at that. A fun game that's worth taking a look at even if you only do it once.

I downloaded this game beacause of the long, stupid title. However, the game was MUCH better than I expected. TDOGUOTWSOTB (long acronym) apparently was a 24hozzt game (from when? I dunno). Anyway, Odin wakes up one day and falls off Mount Olympous and has to climb back up before his telephone bill is due.

The game's engine is very creative, expecially for a 24hozzt game. It's a side-scroller. You move left and right and shoot with the space bar. Up and Down let you climb/decend latters. whenever you shoot, It takes a second to charge back up. After about 3 level's though, the game ditches the engine and becomes more laid back and story-ish. The engine levels should have gone on for much longer. The story is very fun to play through, even if it's short.

This is an okay game, mainly beacause of the side-scrolling parts. If your in dire need of something to do then wasting your time with TDOGUOTWSOTB may be worth a download.
