Zool Redimensioned

Originally, I was just going to play the Genesis version of Zool, but then I saw this remake during a Steam Sale and decided to check it out instead. And, I'm really glad I did. In Zool, you play as a ninja gremlin who can throw projectiles, climb walls, slide into foes, and even spin around with his katana. If you're playing the Redimensioned Mode, Zool can also double-jump for extra verticality. I would certainly recommend playing that mode first, as it addresses on major complaint many people had with the original title: it zooms the camera out a bit, allowing you to see more of what's happening in the levels. The levels themselves start out simple but can become a maze at times. After beating a level, the game shows you three objectives to strive for. The first is finding the three large collectibles in the level, which will require a bit of exploration. The second has you beat a time set by the developers, and the third is to clear the stage deathless. I only cared to do the first objective for the levels, but I appreciate the other two being there. The second main mode is the Ultimate Ninja Mode, where camera is zoomed back in and you need to grab an amount of the smaller collectibles to leave the stage. It was a pretty fun challenge (minus one big collectible). I would honestly recommend checking this remake out, regardless if you've played the original or not. And if you really want the original experience, it's got you covered as well, as you can play the Genesis ROM on an emulator here! Now if you excuse me, I have a strange hankering for non-descript lollipops...
