Zool description

Zool is one of the few promotional games of the early 1990s. It was created by Gremlin Interactive in conjunction with the company Chupa Chups.

Before us is a 2D platformer, where our hero have to go through six worlds, each of which consists of three levels. Playing for a ninja who can shoot and jump on top of enemies. The story in the game, it suggests only the final movie in which the protagonist returns to his wife and children. Each peace is unique and beautiful. A country of caramel, fruit and vegetable Kingdom, the levels connected with musical instruments, home equipment, children's toys, and amusement Park different types of enemies and collect items. The enemies in the game crawl, jump and fly, many can shoot. For example, the flying pods that are thrown at us peas, and shooting bows of the violin. Almost all enemies can be shot down, but some kill just jump on top. The enemies respawn after a while. In addition, we were waiting for the various spikes, fire and other obstacles. At the end of each world we have boss battles, which are very difficult to win each need their own tactics. A huge bee flying banana and other will pull a lot of nerves.

However, to destroy the enemies is not the main goal of the game, from many it is possible to escape. We need to collect candy, and to the end of each stage we should have them no less than fifty, otherwise the output level will be closed. In the nooks, you can find large concentrations of sweets, and problems with their collection are usually not. The game has a time limit, but it is enough to study the levels. Some of them are quite confusing and have secrets that are quite hard to find. There are various bonuses: for example, temporary invulnerability or increased time. For the killed enemies and collect items, we give points.

In the upper part of the screen is the scale of life, consisting of only three divisions, that is, to hurt us can only three times, then a life is lost. However, you can fill it easy enough - almost each enemy killed leaves a kind of red insect, which we restore by taking one division of the scale. In the game you can find extra lives in the beginning, we have five. In the settings choose the level of difficulty.

The sound card type can also be selected, but the music only in the Intro and in the last movie. And the game only the sound of the shots, taking the candy and bonuses. All creations from Gremlin Interactive is distinguished by the attention to detail.
