Skybolt Zack

Skybolt Zack is a platformer built around colour matching. You control Zack without jumping, using rocket punches, dashes and other abilities to move through levels and destroy enemies. Changing direction when you defeat an enemy is one of the techniques that adds depth to the controls. The game also lets you set your own rhythm as you play.

Routes and worlds

The story mode has 48 challenging levels, each of which can be completed without touching the ground again. Branching routes offer different difficulty levels and lead to different exits. Beginners can take the easier lower routes, while the upper paths lead to the most challenging levels and unlock additional stages. The game has more than 15 environments across five distinct worlds, with more than a dozen types of robotic enemies.

Game modes

Alongside story mode, Skybolt Zack has two modes focused on competing for times or scores:

• Time Attack: work on improving your run and aim for the fastest times.
• Score Attack: focus on reaching the highest possible score.

The game has two worldwide leaderboards: one for the highest scores and one for the best times on every level.

Sound and controls

The soundtrack evolves as you play and draws inspiration from platformers of the 1990s. Controls are fully remappable, and you can customize enemy colours with options for colour-blind players.
