Acid Factory

I’ve always been fascinated by 3-D platformers. The idea of a world that wasn’t as flat as a pancake was like ambrosia to me, and so I devoured games like Head over Heels and such. Maybe that explains why I played Acid Factory long enough to finish it.

Acid Factory is a 3-D platform game where your little character has to escape all twenty levels of danger, mutants and death. The procedure is simple: Find all the batteries before making your way to the exit.

The playfield is littered with various platforms and machinery awash in bright green acid death, and crawling with dangers such as zombies, slime blobs, tentacles that lash at you if you get too close to the edge, and later on robots and boss zombies. Adding to the fun: you’re on a timer (i.e. the fumes eventually get to you) and your health is limited.

Fortunately, most levels have the option of grabbing a gun and zapping beasties. However, zapping takes valuable time which you might not have.

The artwork is all pixel-drawn, and the music and sound effects are equally retro, maybe on the sampled level of the Amiga rather than earlier.

Overall, I found this game charming, requiring thought as well as reflexes; the fact it recognises your IP address and lets you restart from where you were before is a nice feature too. Great fun. And very green.
