Zool - September 2010

Zool for Sega

Zool is a fast paced colorful platform developed by Gremlin Graphics for the Commodore Amiga. Originally intended as a mascot for the Amiga to rival Mario and Sonic but fell short. The game features extensive product placement from Chupa Chups. Probably part of the reason it feel short.

You are Zool, a ninja from the Nth Dimention who has crash landed on a mysterious planet.

The gameplay is sidescrolling run'n'jump. Your goal is simply to find a giant coin at the end of the level. But before it appears you must collect 99 other items. Once you collect enough stuff your spinning compass in the top right corner will point you towards the final giant coin.

You can run super fast but obstacles and enemies litter the way punishing you for going too fast. Zool has the ability to perform jumps, punches, kicks, sliding tackles, fire a "magic cannon" weapon and perform 4 different magic spells. To cast a spell you must touch a magic item. They include invincibility, fire blast which kills all enemies on screen, duplication which creates a second Zool, doubling the players fire power and one that increases his jumping ability. Zool can also climb walls by clinging onto the wall, and jumping upwards before clinging to it again.

You have 3 hearts. You lose one when you are hit. Lose them all and you lose a life. Lose all your lives and you have 3 continues to help you out. Enemies will drop a heart if you kill them when you have less than 3 hearts, making the game fairly easy if you are careful.

There are 7 worlds. Candy, Music, Garden, Tool, Toy, Carnival and a secret hidden Space Shooter level.

Master Zool for 10 Game Club Challenge Points.
