Sapo Xulé: S.O.S. Lagoa Poluída
Three scientists built a underwater trash processing complex in order to
produce cheap energy, at the expense of the ecosystem. The lagoon animals
became desperate and sought the wise Cagado Adao for help. He quickly found
the solution: to build a heavily armored submarine, to destroy the facilities
and send the invaders back home. Sapo Xule was asked to perform this mission
and destroy the powerful scientists’ submarine ships.
Sapo Xul e: S.O.S. Lagoa Poluida (which means Sapo Xule: S.O.S. Polluted
Lagoon) is a modified version of Astro Warrior, with its space ship replaced
by a submarine ship driven by Sapo Xule, a character based on a popular toy in
Brazil back in the 80’s: a toad with shoes which, when taken off, release a
really bad smell.
This game is a basic shoot-em-up, but instead of destroying space ships and
aliens, the player must destroy the scientists’ facilities and clean up the
lagoon, by destroying the trash in it – the lagoon is filled with matches,
eaten apples, cotton swabs, boots and other kinds of junk.
Sapo Xule’s ship can be upgraded by collecting leaves (which will make it
faster) and flies inside bubbles (which will improve its fire power). There
are also satellite weapons that can be attached to the ship.
The game consists in three levels, at the end of which Sapo Xule must destroy
one scientist’s submarine. Once all the three scientists are defeated, they
are revived and Sapo Xule is sent back where he started, in a never-ending
circle.
