The story of Ollie-oop is centered around a charming dog on a skateboard navigating nostalgic, mission-based levels filled with quirky humor and whimsical themes reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. While the premise is enjoyable and features a variety of quests for adorable NPCs, players note that some missions can be confusing and lack clarity, leading to a somewhat unpolished experience. Overall, the game's lighthearted narrative and engaging character design provide a fun, albeit occasionally frustrating, adventure.
- “There’s some enjoyment to be found in Ollie-oop’s absurd premise, the sometimes surreal physics, and an occasional inspired mission.”
- “The main character is charming, and it's really not every day you get the chance to play a game about a dog on a skateboard, so I'd suggest seizing the opportunity. There are multiple levels with various quests for the equally adorable NPCs, and the level design puts you in various themed worlds that reminded me of watching Saturday morning children's cartoons.”
- “Super cute game, where you skate around the map to find bones and do quests for the other dogs or people of the cities.”
- “All characters have no idle animations besides Ollie himself. Basically, all maps have extremely easy methods of going out of bounds, some missions are extremely unclear and unintuitive, and there’s a general lack of polish.”
- “The game itself is pretty easy, and most of the missions, except for 2-3 of the later levels, have some confusing missions.”
- “There’s some enjoyment to be found in Ollie-Oop’s absurd premise, the sometimes surreal physics, and an occasional inspired mission.”
