This proves an extra challenge as when there are enemies above or below you, perfect timing is essential in order to succeed. Unlike many platformers, you can't control your jumping mid-air, and the main protagonist can only jump and fall at a given angle. Checkpoints also serve as an additional difficulty factor, as once touched, they remove all your weapons, leaving you unarmed. The difficulty level is very steep, and each death sets you back to your previously visited checkpoint, but fortunately already collected microchips stay collected. The game features in total 8 levels, on which there are three microchips that must be collected in order to proceed to the next. This latter activity is essential - over a period of time, your weapon downgrades itself, until you can't actually fire at all. You have to guide Jacek, the Electroman, around the levels, using such things as teleporters, while shooting enemies and collecting weapon power-ups. But, for what is worth, the game manages a good balance of diversity, platforming and puzzles to keep you playing if you are a fan of the genre.This is a platform game with puzzle elements.

The scenery also get a bit more diverse, though, still, it still keeps its blocky, robot like feel, even when depicting vegetation or other outside areas. The challenges will increase in difficulty later on, so just push on. You will however get access to more complicated puzzles later on, so don't feel that the beginning portion is all the game has to offer. This means lots of static sceneries, a few movable pieces of platforming surfaces, and overall, a simple, straightforward left to right game, with the occasional item based puzzle. The graphics look like a combination of 8 bit with 16 bit, although they lean more onto a late era 8 bit look more. But, your robot protagonist feels just home in this environment, and therefore, you won't feel as if there's a disconnect there. Electro Man is a nice looking platformer with a look that seems to suggest that the action is happening in some sort of laboratory or in a setting artificially created.
