Zool is a platform video game developed by Gremlin Graphics for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. It was released in 1992 and was one of the first games to be released on the 16-bit console. The game stars Zool, a Ninja of the Nth Dimension, who must battle his way through six worlds in order to defeat the evil Zoozard and save the universe.
The player takes control of Zool as he runs, jumps, and climbs his way through each level. Along the way he must collect coins and power-ups to increase his health and score. He also has access to a variety of weapons such as throwing stars and fireballs which can be used to defeat enemies. Each level is filled with obstacles such as spikes, pits, and moving platforms which require precise timing and dexterity to navigate.
The game features bright colourful graphics with an upbeat soundtrack that sets the tone for each level. The levels are varied with some featuring puzzles while others focus more on action-packed platforming sections. There are also bonus levels which reward the player with extra lives or points if they are completed quickly enough.
The game has been praised for its tight controls, vibrant visuals, and catchy soundtrack. It was well received upon release due to its challenging yet rewarding gameplay that pushed players to master each level before moving on to the next one. Even today it remains a popular title among retro gamers who appreciate its unique style of gameplay.
