Join intrepid hero Zack Zero as he fights back the alien menace Zulrog using his ability to switch between the elemental forms of fire, ice and ground! Wait, doesn’t that sound a bit familiar? Ok, lets just ignore for a moment that Zack Zero appears at a glance to be a bootlegged Ben Ten knock-off; to be honest that’s the least of this 2D platformer’s crimes against humanity. It’s certainly very nice to look at though!

Zack Zero (ZZ) is a 2.5D platformer with a slight ‘metroidvania’ twist – upgradeable power suit, 2D puzzle solving, and difficult boss fights. Although that sounds insanely cool on paper, it’s infuriatingly frustrating in practise - not to mention glitchy.
Hardcore Gamer: The Indie Royale bundle has returned with an offering of five games for a bit under $5. That gets you Retrovirus, Signal Ops, Zack Zero, Vox, and Sol Survivor. A bonus game will be unlocked at some point in the future, and if you spend $8, you get the Lost Floppies Vol. 2 album.
