If you thought Scratch was for making crappy games that look like they were made by a kid and play like an NES bootleg on steroids, O is here to prove you wrong, featuring a full 3D engine that utilizes Scratch's turtle/pen graphics to render objects, a HUGE technical achievement for Scratch flash games. And the funny thing is, this isn't even the best or most technically advanced game on Scratch - it's actually quite simple, if you compare it to some other technical achievements on Scratch, or even other flash games. Still, it's a nice, fun and addicting Super Monkey Ball clone, and a good way to pass time in the office (that is, only if you're playing the re-release!) Plus, that theme song.

To do: Upload higher quality title screen. Document differences between minor versions too. There may have actually been another major release that was released between in between the original and the re-release which supposedly added the now defunct "custom levels" feature, meaning it was not included in the first release. The game has audio issues when running in the HTML5 Scratch 3 player, make sure to run it in the old Flash Scratch 2 player as the game was originally intended to be run in.

Revisional Differences

The game has 2 major versions (with many minor versions in between). The first major version was released on December 29th, 2013, while the second version (the re-release, titled the "faster tri filling" version) was released on March 19th, 2015. The main difference between the re-release and the original is that the re-release uses MrLogFather's Fast 3D Engine, rather than the original, which used a much slower one coded specifically for the game, meaning if you had a beefier computer, you would be able to run it, but if you tried to run it on any standard old PC (like an old laptop or office/school PC) the game wouldn't even start, despite how simple the game is. You can guess that was a pretty big issue, considering it's a Flash game and most people are going to be playing it on the go or at work. Some other optimizations may have been made too.
