About Zool

Zool is a side-scrolling platformer where players control an extraterrestrial gremlin. This character aims to achieve ninja status by navigating six distinct worlds, each composed of three separate stages.

Gameplay involves running, jumping, and scaling 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 player character.

Before starting, several options can be adjusted. These include the difficulty level, the number of continues, and the overall game speed. Players may also select between rock or funk music for the background soundtrack.
