What players say

I got this game on sale and had a really good time with it. If you find it on sale I would definitely pick it up!

When I was a kid I played Zool for hours on my Dad's old Amiga / Atari. The "Redimensioned" release has brought those happy memories flooding back.
AlexRecommendedafter 13hSep 2026Read on Steam
I played the original game during my childhood and it was extremely difficult back then. This is considerably easier with checkpoints and the possibility of having a larger view of the screen. Also there is no Chupa Chups branding/sponsorship anymore. Recommended for those who played the original or for those who want to experience a modernized version of a 90s 2D platformer.
