Summary

Zool 2 takes the intergalactic gremlin ninja back into the Nth Dimension, this time teamed with his fiery‑red companion Zooz and their two‑headed dog Zoon. The villain Krool, assisted by the shape‑shifting henchman Mental Block, is bent on shutting down the world’s imagination, so the trio sprints through wildly colourful levels that you can literally punch apart.
Zool hurls projectile blasts while Zooz slashes with an energy whip that can also fire—each character’s attacks carve unique passages, rewarding you to replay stages for alternate routes. On top of the core platforming there’s a Breakout‑style mini‑game that lets Zoon serve as a paddle, a collection mechanic to unlock secrets, and a two‑player mode that keeps the competition lively.
Reviewers praised the Jaguar’s glossy graphics and the inventive world design, though some warned the visual excess could be overwhelming. The ending drops a tease for yet another sequel, leaving the adventure open‑ended.

Storyline

Zool 2 picks up just a few months after the original adventure. The evil Krool has unleashed his army, led by the shape‑shifting villain Mental Block, to conquer the Nth Dimension. Their goal is to crush imagination and drown the world in boredom.

Our hero Zool teams up with his trusty sidekick Zooz and their two‑headed mascot Zoon to stop the invasion. The trio battles through a series of varied locations, each more bizarre than the last, before finally confronting Mental Block in his stronghold. After a fierce showdown they defeat him, restore order to the Nth Dimension and leave the door open for another sequel.
