Introduction to OvO

OvO is a fast-paced platformer game. To beat OvO, you must make it through all the levels to complete the game. This minimalistic game features a simple stick figure and lined world. You’ll have to navigate the levels quickly to get to the flag while avoiding the spikes and dangerous obstacles.

While playing, you're expected to parkour and free run across various levels. It's also possible to jump off walls and run right up against them. Run up the walls and leap over ledges to avoid obstacles standing in your way.  

As you progress throughout the game, you'll notice each level has other obstacles. As with any other game, the goal is to avoid these obstacles and complete the level. The game isn't timed, but the faster you beat it, the higher your score.

Scattered throughout the level are coins to collect. If you find all the coins in each level, you'll gain maximum points as your progress. This gives you more skins and achievements to unlock.
