Hydrofool

Hydrofool is an isometric action-adventure puzzle game featuring Sweevo, the robot from Sweevo's World. His task is to clean up the heavily polluted Deathbowl by removing its four plugs in the correct order, draining the poisonous water, and allowing the area to be refilled.

Gameplay

Each plug requires specific objects, which may need to be taken from enemies. Sweevo begins without weapons, enemy contact is fatal, and weapons have limited ammunition. Whirlpools and bubbles provide access to different areas, while contact with water causes Sweevo to rust. Oil can be collected to reduce the effects of rusting.

The game contains more than 200 screens of action and puzzles, with additional content in 128K mode.
