Space faring wouldn’t be that much fun if you weren’t combating an evil overlord and trying to rescue your kidnapped girlfriend. Luckily for Zack Zero, he’s doing just that, so he’s kept plenty busy. It all started when Zack Zero and his girlfriend Marlene thwarted an evil plan of Zulrog’s and ended up getting his brother accidentally killed in the process. Zulrog swore revenge and kidnapped Marlene, forcing Zack Zero to come to his home planet, while also bringing a strange substance with him that would fuel Zulrog’s time machine. Now Zack Zero has to trek through eight hazardous levels to defeat Zulrog and rescue Marlene from his clutches.

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.
