"Double Jump! Ripoff!"- Ogmo's description.
Ogmo is an unlockable guest character in Super Meat Boy.
General information[]
Appearance[]
Ogmo is a red cube with a face consisting of black eyes different eyes and a mouth. He has two red legs.
Origin[]
Ogmo originates from Jumper, a 2004 platform game developed by Maddy Thorson. Ogmo is a specimen created in a lab to be an ultimate weapon, but any efforts to contain it have failed, and it plans to escape the lab, narrowly avoiding traps. Much like its appearance in Super Meat Boy, Ogmo can double jump.
Gameplay[]
Movement[]
Compared to Meat Boy, Ogmo:
- Walks slower
- Runs much slower
- Jumps much lower (Made up by his double jump)
- Wall slides lower
- Wall-jumps much lower
Additionally, Ogmo is one of the few characters who can perform their initial jump after getting off a ledge.
Ability[]
Upon pressing the jump button in midair (after the first jump has been performed), Ogmo will perform a double jump, indicated by a flip. This second jump loosens his horizontal momentum allowing for easier single wall-jumping.
How to unlock[]
To unlock Ogmo, the player must complete the Warp Zone The Jump Man!, which can be found in 3-16 Mono. The player must clear three segments using Ogmo and its double jump ability. Once the Warp Zone is completed, Ogmo will be unlocked.
Trivia[]
- Ogmo shares the "jumping when off a ledge" ability with Josef, Flywrench, The Kid, Spelunky, and Pink Knight.
- This is likely due to using the jump button for their special abilities, likely using duplicate code for the jump.
- Ogmo is the first unlockable character that has additional jumps that can be done in the air.
- Sometimes, while you are wall jumping Ogmo may not jump before the actual double jump, but after the wall jump (as if you were on the floor); this may be a glitch.
- Ogmo's visual similarities to Meat Boy are likely the reason he is described as a "Ripoff" in the character selection and "Dumb Meat Boy" internally.
- Despite being called a ripoff, Ogmo's debut predates Meat Boy's debut by four years.
- During development, a teal Ogmo was considered to be used instead of the red one, to keep the two visually distinct.
