I didn't even realize there was a "longplay" out there, I assume the filters are optional but them having it on the entire video was not a very good look, and that song for the first world got old very fast. I also disliked that the way the background looked. I would also like if the game was more zoomed in, being able to see the too much of the levels isn't that good.

Here it is for anyone that haven't seen it:

I disagree, look up WindowsDebloater by Chris titus, and enjoy Windows with only 4GB.

Hmm, so the game is out now and it turns out the trailer tune was the only musical piece they remade? That's rather disappointing. Think I'll pass.

Now imagine the entire game with the same tune and you have Zool for the Amiga

The game has all new levels at least. It's only 10 bucks, I'm happy with that price.

I finally got to play it (the game requires minimally Windows 10... how unnecessary), and I must say... it's pretty slick! The controls are really responsive, I was really flying through the levels like a ninja.

Excellent gameplay does come with the price of low difficulty though, I hope in later levels they dare to put more enemies on the screen.

It's always been there. They both came out October 1992, so you could just as well say music from Zool in Lotus 3..

i think lotus 3 tracks 2 and 4 are in zool, but they were from the same devs, same release year, so not a surprise.

No all the sprites have been kept pretty much the same. Higher resolution though so you see more of the world, which adds to how easy it is.

It remains a decent game but lets be honest: I think the majority of people here will put no more than 1-2 hours of play into it. The levels may be new but you've seen it all before. So judge for yourself if that is worth even two and a half bucks.

Fascinating that this is getting this amount of support. I guess it sold well.
