Our take on The Zebra-Man!
The game departs from straightforward action by placing clue-based puzzles and a karma system among its fights. Its difficulty also shifts after repeated deaths, replacing a fixed challenge with slower enemies, reduced ammunition, and additional helpful items.
What is The Zebra-Man!?
The game follows a person subjected to experiments in a secret facility and rescued by an ally wearing a raccoon mask.
The escape story involves revenge, Alexander Cooper, time travel, and interdimensional portals. Top-down pixel-art levels combine brutal fist fights, shooting, and puzzles that require searching for clues. A cast of playable characters includes scientists, security guards, and other figures, each with their own uses and quests. Actions affect a karma system. The Adaptive Difficulty System changes the challenge after repeated deaths: enemies become slower, guns have less ammunition, and more helpful items appear. Live-action scenes and a soundtrack featuring tracks from several artists accompany the action.
