''Ollo in The Sunny Valley Fair'' is a [[{{PointAndClickGame}} point-and-click]] [[{{EdutainmentGame}} edutainment]] [[{{AdventureGame}} adventure game]] produced by Hulabee Entertainment and published by Plaid Banana Entertainment in 2002. The game is marketed toward young children, much like its close relatives VideoGame/{{PuttPutt}} and VideoGame/{{FreddiFish}}. Unlike those two, however, Ollo was a standalone game that did not expand into a series.

The game revolves around Ollo, a blue ball of clay living in the peaceful town of Sunny Valley. When the annual fair comes into town, Ollo helps his friend Rose grow a huge tomato for the gardening competition. Things go awry, however, when the tomato grows too large and rolls out of control into the valley. It’s up to Ollo to help his animal friends undo the damage and catch the tomato in time for the fair.

The gameplay features point-and-click puzzles and exploring, much like the above-mentioned VideoGame/{{PuttPutt}} and VideoGame/{{FreddiFish}}. Players are encouraged to collect various items for progression and interact with Ollo’s various anthropomorphic animal friends, all in a glorious and visually unique Claymation art style.

The game is available on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Linux.

!!''Ollo in The Sunny Valley Fair'' contains examples of:
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Ollo may just be a ball of clay, but lives in a house and helps his friends.
* CollectionSidequest: Doing certain activities in various scenes awards Ollo with marbles to collect in his inventory bag. The inventory menu even has a little physics-based marble drop game.
* CurseCutShort: Not really a curse, but a little weird for a children’s game. Blimpy begins a joke starting with “pull my…” before being interrupted by the rolling tomato.
* EdutainmentGame: The game teaches basic colors, shapes, phonics, and counting.
* FetchQuest: Rose asks Ollo to bring her some items while she watches the garden in Chapter 2.
* FlatCharacter: It’s rather ironic that such a physically round character shows very little character development throughout the story. Though it is just a kids’ game after all.
* ForgetfulJones: Rose. The narrator points out how often she forgets where she put her watering can. She doesn’t even remember the name of the tomato she’s growing for the competition.
* HairstyleMalfunction: Blimpo is embarrassed when his wig is lost, exposing his bald head.
* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: The path to the swamp area is blocked by… a small branch that looks easy to jump over or walk around.
** Likewise, Muriel Moose’s toolbox blocks the path at one point. One wonders why Ollo doesn’t just walk around it.
* InWhichATropeIsDescribed: While the chapters themselves do not have names, their intro cards contain images relevant to the plot. Chapter 1, where Ollo helps Lottie tie down some balloons, shows a balloon in the title card. Chapter 2, where we meet Rose in the garden, shows a sun.
* LockedDoor: You run into these occasionally.
* MeaningfulName: Rose, Ollo’s friend, works in a garden.
* {{Narrator}}: Most children’s point-and-click games at the time featured one. This game features two: one for the storyline and one that describes certain objects, events, and activities when they are clicked on.
* NoMouth: The titular character is simply a ball of clay with large eyes.
* NotAMorningPerson: As the narrator describes: “Ollo was sleeping peacefully, but now it was time for him to wake up. At first, Ollo didn’t want to get up…”.
* OpeningNarration: “It was a sunny morning in Sunny Valley, which is how most mornings in Sunny Valley are.”
* OverlyLongName: Clyde Emerson William Edward Montague-Wallingford, the frog at the dunk tank. Luckily, he simply goes by “Prince Clyde.”
* TheQuietOne: Ollo himself, not surprising considering he has NoMouth. The narrator speaks for him.
* RuleOfCute: Ollo, especially at the end where [[spoiler:he’s wearing both first place ribbons]].
* SpeechImpairedAnimal: The roller coaster sheep occasionally rolls her vowels, much like a sheep’s *baaa*.
* StandAloneEpisode: Unlike its relatives, Ollo did not receive any sequels.
* SugarBowl: Averted surprisingly. While the clay environments are pretty colorful, many locations are toned-down and somewhat realistic.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: “Rose tended to get very excited when she was talking about tomatoes…”.
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: Ollo’s reaction to first seeing [[spoiler:the tomato, Red Thunder]].
