About Zool

Zool is a side-scrolling platformer where a gremlin from another dimension must prove himself across eighteen stages. These are grouped into six distinct worlds, with the ultimate objective being to earn the rank of Ninja after a forced landing on Earth.

Gameplay involves running, jumping, and climbing walls while confronting enemies with projectile attacks. Various power-ups are available within the levels, such as items that grant extra lives, protective shields, enhanced jumping ability, and a delayed duplicate of the character that mimics its actions.

Prior to starting, several options can be configured. These include adjusting the difficulty, selecting a musical style between rock and funk, setting the number of continues, and modifying the game's speed.
