Zero's Impossible Fortress

From Spheriki

Hazards are deadly to the hero. Touch one and die.

Zero's Impossible Fortress is a scrolling platformer with a difference: you make the platforms. It was finished on December 7, 2004 by troupe, Salamando, and SDHawk.

Description

From the official project page:

For years Emperor Zero the terrible has been trying to snatch the fair maiden. But everytime, the hero has foiled his plans by traversing his elaboratly designed, but not impossible, fortresses and jumping on his head- thus saving the fair maiden.

But not this time. Zero has had it. The hero has foiled his plans for the LAST time. This time, he's just going to neglect to add the platforms to his carefuly designed fortress and watch as the hero haplessly falls into the pit over and over until it's game over- on the first level!

Unfortunatley for Zero, this is the perfect time for Mega Platforms Inc(tm) to provide their brand new platform-express service- for heroes on the go!

Quick, hero, utilize the platform-express service to get to Zero's lair, jump on his head, and save the fair maiden!

Gameplay

Playing the game consists of using the WASD pseudo-cursor layout to move and control the hero, while making platforms using the mouse. The hero must make it to the exit door of each level without dying.

The game features nearly forty levels, and some hidden levels too.

Player Comments

• The Engrish intro is hilarious! The game is quite challenging, the music is charmingly simple, and dangit if it isn't fun! --Tunginobi 12:56, 11 July 2006 (PDT)
