    Overview

    Low G Man is a platforming game set in the future. The main character, Kal, can jump unusually high relative to most platformers at the time of release. Low G Man was known for having very poor controls and animations. There was also a power up system which often punished the player for picking up power ups instead of rewarding them. Kal finds himself the only person strong enough to save the hostages from a robot uprising.

    Weapons

    • Freeze Gun - Freezes any enemy except for bosses for a limited amount of time. Only requires one shot.
    • Fireball - High damaging fire attack.
    • Bomb -Drops a bomb and hits any enemy in a five food radius.
    • Wave - Much like the fireball except has a larger shot so Kal can hit enemies with greater ease.
