The Ottifants is a classic 2D platformer released in 1993 for the Sega Master System, starring the beloved comic characters created by German comedian Otto Waalkes. You guide baby Bruno the Ottifant on a mission to rescue his kidnapped father from aliens. Bruno can explore his household and beyond, using his versatile trunk to shoot jelly beans at enemies or suck in objects to use as platforms.
How to Play
Navigate Bruno through challenging levels while managing your health and jelly bean ammunition, which you can replenish by finding gummy bears.
- Movement: Arrow keys (D-pad) to walk and duck.
- Jump: X key (Button 2).
- Trunk Action: Z key (Button 1). Tap quickly to shoot jelly beans, or hold it down to suck in objects and enemies with your trunk.
- Pause: Enter (Pause).
Tips
- Your trunk is your most versatile tool. Use its suction to pull blocks toward you to reach higher platforms, or to spit objects back out at tougher foes.
- Save your jelly beans for boss battles and dangerous spots. Jumping on enemies or using environmental objects is often safer and conserves ammo.
- Explore levels carefully to find hidden gummy bears, as the game can be surprisingly punishing if your health runs low.
