## Description
This remake of Skool Daze replaces the limited 8-bit graphics and sounds from
the original with new enhanced assets while maintaining the same classic
gameplay from 1985. Besides the overall graphical improvements, this version
adds small touches like random weather and other special effects. The player
assumes the role of Eric, a school student in a desperate quest to erase a
disastrous report file from the director’s computer. The teachers and other
fellow students are shown moving about on a scrolling side-view of the
building, where the player has to guide the main character to the classes and
make him attend and perform other chores from the daily routine. The
protagonist can interact with the environment and cause mischief, write
messages on the available blackboards, punch the other kids making them fall
flat on their backs, and shoot pebbles at distracted teachers with a
slingshot.
Eric must hit the shields decorating the many rooms of the building to
retrieve the password for the headmaster’s computer, where the report file is
stored. After being caught doing any transgression, he receives a random
number of lines as punishment, with 10000 as the maximum allowed before being
expelled from the school. Most of the children are anonymous characters
milling around the location, but some have names and personalities that can
hinder progress. Angelface is the local bully that sometimes contracts mumps,
infecting Eric if he crosses path with him and causing the end of the game, as
the sick boy is sent home by one of the teachers. Einstein is a snitch,
telling the teachers about any misbehavior he witnessed.
