What players say

Lizard is an actual NES game, not a faux-retro homage, built for the original hardware. Players say it is a tough, one-hit-kill platformer with a large, open world, no map and minimal guidance, relying on lizard skins that swap abilities. Some find the exploration rewarding, others find the lack of direction and slippery controls frustrating.
