Description

Skybolt Zack is the result of a unique way of mixing platformer mechanics and colour matching gameplay.
Controls are tight and Zack’s ability to rocket punch, dash, focus, change direction when destroying an enemy and more, offers more depth than what meets the eye - following the “easy to learn, hard to master” mantra.
It’s a platformer where you don’t jump, and a music game where you dictate your own rhythm. It feels like no other game!
- 48 frantic challenging levels that can all be completed without putting a foot back on the ground
- Branching routes with different levels of difficulty
- More than 15 environments divided into 5 distinct worlds
- An art style combining 3D assets and digital painted textures with tons of FX and explosions!
- Evolutive soundtrack inspired by famous platformers from the 90’s
- More than a dozen types of robotic enemies for renewed challenges throughout the game
- Dedicated speedrun and score attack modes
- 2 different leaderboards: one for the best scores and one for the best times on every level
- Fully customizable controls and colour-blind options
- No boring dialogue! (You’d have skipped them anyway...)

Discover multiple routes that lead to different exits across every level, allowing for tons of replayability!
There are no difficulty settings in Skybolt Zack - beginners will take the easier lower routes, only the best will reach the upper paths to unlock the most challenging levels!


Play with any controller you want*! Controls are fully remappable and there’s plenty of options to tweak them to your preference, including the possibility to customize the colours of the enemies!
*While you can choose to play with a keyboard, we recommend the use of a gamepad or arcade stick and decline the responsibility of any injury coming from you trying to play with a dance mat or Dreamcast’s fishing rod ;)

In addition to the story mode, Skybolt Zack offers two additional gameplay modes for an extra challenge for the more competitive players!
Time Attack - dedicated to those in search of the fastest times, providing them with tools to work on improving their run.
Score Attack - ideal for those wanting to focus on achieving the possible highest score.


As focusing on scoring points and playing for the fastest time leads to very different strategies, Skybolt Zack includes 2 worldwide leaderboards: one for the highest score and one for the best times. Just go for it!

User reviews
This is a fantastic game. Such an underrated hidden gem. I never heard of this game anywhere else besides the group i'm a part of. Such a shame. I haven't had this much fun with game in years. Please, give it a chance.
Skybolt Zack is an incredibly amazing game. I cannot even describe the amount of fun I had with this game. Highly recommend use of a controller for this game - if you're okay with that, you will have an amazing time.
Just wanted to give some quick impressions about the game since I got to play it during its free weekend period just now. Skybolt Zack is a 2D Rhythm Platformer; you can jump with the A button (X if you have a DS4) and
Amazing arcadey experience that became horribly overlooked. What a hidden gem this one is. There's tons of polish throughout, from the visual style, the music, the gameplay, and especially the level design. The concept
It's like if One Finger Death Punch was a platformer. I spent half an hour getting the perfect run on ONE level and I didn't get bored or frustrated. And there's a lot of levels. The absolute definition of a hidden gem.
Tough game, and very unusual. It's like a mix between a precision platformer and a rhythm game, but without the musical aspect. I've only been doing easy stages so far, and had a few issues. I'm sure it's way harder on
