« Play the original version on an emulator instead - it's much more challenging than this remake. »👎 anonymous review · Dec 2022 · 1 h played2« Played Zool back in the day on Genesis, SNES, and Jaguar. Saw this on sale for$1.99. Yep, Zool still sucks. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2024 · 0 h played« I mean I'm sorry to zool lovers but man. the genesis version might legitimately be better »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2025 · 1 h played« fine and dandy but add steam cloud support so I can flip this to a thumbs up »👎 anonymous review · Mar 2025 · 1 h played« It's not bad, but use of cheats is inevitable due to some levels featuring an unbeatable combination of high difficulty and convolutedness. On their own, each can be beatable. Together, though, is another story. »👎 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 1 h played« I've loved the zool games since I had the original on the Amiga, but without the chupa chups lollipops and giant polo mints it's just not a genuine Zool experience. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2021 · 2 h played
