Abe's Oddysee is a 2D platform game developed by Oddworld Inhabitants, in which players take control of the character Abe - a Mudokon slave at the RuptureFarms meat processing factory, to travel across separate screens: solving puzzles, navigating obstacles, and avoiding enemies. Abe has the ability to telepathically control Sligs (a type of non-player character), but can only use this in safe areas. Flying orbs in certain areas also prevent Abe's telepathy by zapping him. Once Abe successfully possesses a Slig, Abe can use them to attack other enemies and activate mechanisms dangerous to himself, and can then destroy them...
