The Rise of the Hydro Zombie!

Welcome to Hydro High-Rise, the ultimate test of your platforming skills and reflexes! In this addictive pixel art game, you play as a zombie equipped with a water-powered jetpack, tasked with ascending a perilous tower. With a blend of 2D and 3D side-scrolling action, Hydro High-Rise offers a unique and visually captivating experience.


Prepare for a challenge like no other as you navigate treacherous obstacles and strive to reach new heights. But beware: one misstep and you’ll plummet back down, adding to the thrill and intensity of each climb. Can you master the jetpack, overcome the tower's devious traps, and achieve the ultimate high score?


This game was created as part of PixelJam-2024 with the theme Aqua, and it was developed with the idea to recreate the pixel art style in Unreal Engine 5.


Featuring:

  • Stunning pixel art graphics that combine the best of 2D and 3D side-scrolling
  • A water-powered jetpack for unique, gravity-defying gameplay
  • Fiendishly difficult obstacles that will test your timing and precision
  • Limited water supply for the jetpack, requiring strategic use and occasional refills at water fountains


Can you prove that you have what it takes to conquer the tower? Download now and start your ascent!

Wow!
I play Game Jams since a decade and sometimes there are pearls and gems and mister, THIS IS A GEM!

So folks, beat my 5k points and prove it :-)

The music is cool and the graphics are even cooler.
