Skybolt Zack gameplay:
This is a unique game as it functions as a platformer, but it also uses different mechanics instead of the classic jumping platformer. It is a music game where the player dictates their rhythm by destroying color coated enemies.
Each enemy color corresponds to a button on the Switch controller. Players will attack enemies by pushing the appropriate button.
As Skybolt Zack attacks the enemies, he will be flying through the level, with rocking music as the background, and a screen full of attractive animation.
Levels:
There are different routes within each level, and the player will have to decide the best way to navigate them. There is no difficulty setting for the game as the routes will dictate the challenge. Beginners will take the lower routes, and the pros will choose the higher paths.
Players will have to complete 48 levels if they want to save the world from Dr. Kaz. Fifteen environments are divided up into five worlds.
Controller:
The player can customize their controller to match what button and colored enemy works best for them. There is also a color-blind option if that suits the player more.
Leaderboards:
There are two worldwide leaderboards gamers can aspire to make. One is for the highest score, and the other is for the best time on every level.
Superplayer modes:
There are two additional gameplay modes besides the story mode:
– Time Attack: This mode is for players that want to master the art of speed. This mode will provide tools to help players improve their speed run.
