About this game

Albedo is an action arcade platformer set on a planet where a tournament is being held by a man named Dick. To reach him and uncover a secret, players must master four basic levels by achieving the required scores.

The player character wears a spacesuit and magnetic shoes, allowing movement across floors, walls, and ceilings. Jumping provides an alternative to running, letting the character drift and turn across the screen. Combat centers on a line-like laser that reflects off walls.

Each level features distinct layouts and enemies, including the large Grok and swarms of smaller Virus opponents. Four additional two-player levels support deathmatch, with the computer able to control the second player when needed.
