  Good little side-scroller. Interesting suit mechanics keep the game fresh, and the art style is really enjoyable to take in while playing.

  Nice game. Visually pleasing for sure. Played it on the PC. Loved it. Alittle buggy, but I can deal. If you make it for the Mac I'll buy again. Love the rich colors bro.

  I bought this game while it was on 90% discount sale. A really good 99 cents investment. Zack Zero is an excellent platformer with graphics color palette similar to sudeki with character movement similar to earthworm jim. The game has some decent cutscenes although the voice-over isnt as good as i would have appreciated; however not bad. +Good Graphics for a 820MB game +Fluid gameplay, no lag, no jitters unless youre in contact with enemies +Earth, Fire and ice power morphs for gameplay variety +Hidden locations with hidden items for a slight challenge giving it a slight puzzle game feeling +Cutscenes with voice-over/narration +Automatic checkpoint saves so no issues if your character falls off the platform/dies or you quit abruptly +Fictional Alien planet exploration +No game-bugs experienced in my time spent playing this game on my system which isnt really "latest" -Voice-over sub-par -Linear Storyline and slightly cliched -The hidden levels and puzzle attempts are rather simple. Slightly more complicated situations would have been nice. -Powers recharge very quickly so theres less strategizing on budgeting power usage. Its more about using variety of powers to get a better score The cons mentioned arent really cons in my opinion. Ive just laid them out for those expecting those aspects.This review is strictly my opinion. I will definitely recommend this game especially when on sale. It has a very nostalgic feel to it and is a lot of fun.

  Zack Zero, Bugged Hero The game looks awesome, especially for an indie title...but the basic gameplay and storyline are actually pretty bland. The worst part of the game though is that there are a lot of glitches and bugs...you can find yourself saved to an unwinnable save point, stuck in the back / foreground, or just have the textures go haywire on you. If you find it on a BIG sale (I picked it up 90% off), it may be worth your time...otherwise give Zack zero thought.

  Just a short review as a warning: stay clear from this one! Not for the gameplay - it actually looks good and plays great - but for the technical shortcomings, which are all too plenty. Just check the discussions going on: loads of people are having trouble with this game. Many of them can't get it started, or need quite some complicated action to get it running. This is technically not a finished product - anyway not on Steam, right now. Maybe "early access", and even then. Is Valve getting overwhelmed a bit by the plethora of new idie-games coming out so that they can't keep up to their usual high technical standards? Let's hope not.... As for me: this game managed to crash to a blue screen of death and a hard reboot three times in a row, after which I gave up on it. And yes, I do have a very stable system with crashes almost non-existent, certainly no hard reboots. So unfortunately, I cannot really speak of the gameplay. For the 20 minutes of so I managed to be in-game, it looked pretty funny, with lots of action, good graphics, and quite some humour. Alas, technical issues ruined this one for me. Overall rating: 2/10 (possible 7/10 or higher if the technicall issues were not there). Sad, really.

  If you're looking for a AAA storyline and impressive cinematic quality cut scenes, or even decent humor, forget about it. However, as craptacular as the narration, which comes off more like story time in the kids section of the book store, it starts to fall in to that "so bad it's good" category. The plot is flimsier than dollar store toiler paper, but that's what makes it funny. It feels like it was written by a grade schooler, and the character designs reflect a lot of those same sensibilities. The gameplay is your typical run and gun platformer ala Megaman X8/9. I use that example specifically because the different powers enable you to reach certain areas, depending on what you're trying to achieve. The models and environments are fairly well detailed, so I think I would've liked to have seen more in-engine cutscenes as opposed to the concept storyboards and would've liked to have had a voice attached to the comm notifications. All that said, I paid a buck for this and got a lot more than that in value. Zack Zero shows a lot of promise, but go in it for the old school run and jump gamplay of the nintendo era, and try to not cringe too much at the storyline or the narrator's booming voice. Other games like this would be Rochard and Shank.

  What would otherwise be a mediocre platformer is completely unplayable due to a common bug that crashes the game at the end of the first level. There are several potential workarounds but they don't work for everybody, and I'm one of the unlucky ones. Many people can't get the game to launch at all.

  I bought this for a dollar on a sale. I can safely say I would never pay more than that. It was a struggle, a test of my patience to see how fast I could speedrun this game, and I almost feel a little cheated. For a dollar! I will say this up front: the game tried, but not nearly hard enough. Hit detection is awful, the controls are inconsistent (sometimes I can double jump, sometimes not, sometimes I can grab ledges, not always), the recycled enemies are absolutely dull, the level design is pointless ( "puzzles" consisted of moving obvious blocks onto obvious platforms), the story is absolutely atrocious and uninspired, the psuedo-3d gimmick (you and enemies could move into the foreground and background) worked against me half the time as I couldn't hit enemies who were hitting me, the dialogue is straight out of an underfunded kid's animation movie, not to mention the "cinematic" and dull soundtrack... ugh. I'd give it flak for the infinite lives, but that's the only thing that kept me going to completion, and what with the awful hit detection and controls it's a blessing. It was never particularly hard, but there were very few deaths where I feel I screwed up and wasn't just cheated by the game. There were a few things that went well, however. The level design, however plain, did only leave me at a confused halt twice, one of them was because the game bugged and I couldn't progress in the lava area. The abilities did feel satisfying enough to use, watching enemies or the environment either freeze or explode. That's... about it. Oh, and minor spoiler here, but the ending leaves off in a CLIFFHANGER. They were confident enough in this game to leave space for a direct sequel. Good lord. Edit: Forgot to mention that the game stuttered in many places and had low framerate issues regularly for seemingly no reason, not like this is a graphically intense game.

  It is a pretty good game. I do get some stuttering issues on it with a r9 280 and amd 6350. I know I have 2.5 hrs of playtime at the time of this review, but I do like it. If you grew up in the 80's or 90's you'll probably appreciate it. Graphics aren't bad and the gameplay is decent. one of the many games I need to get around to finishing.
