IGN - Video games require a number of things to succeed. One of the most important aspects of a good game is consistency, or consistent rules. If an object on screen hurts your character one moment and then heals your character in the next, this causes confusion -- and confusion rarely works to a game's advantage. Enter Zack Zero, a platformer with more than just inconsistency infesting its many jumps and mid-stage battles. With a horrid art style and even more repulsive voice acting, it's difficult to appreciate Zack Zero's rare clever moments.

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.
