Zueirama Save Your Girlfriend, Who Is Now a Sandwich

Zoinho's girlfriend has been turned into a bread with mortadella by a very grumpy frog, and that is only the opening problem. From there the story sends you running like a ninja into Area 51 to rescue an alien, flying a spaceship to check whether the earth is flat, and exploring a lost alien city in the middle of the Amazon, where ET's pet dinosaurs are not happy to see you. Along the way you can troll the NPCs, hunt for hidden calling cards and dig up easter eggs. The humor is the point: the game is packed with memes and Brazilian internet culture, and it never pretends to be serious.

The platforming is only the base. Zueirama keeps switching genres as the story moves along: there are shoot them up sections, a much-hated water phase where you survive the ocean depths breathing air from a potato sack and fight back by throwing your deadly slipper, and driving stretches where you throw explosive pizzas at vehicles from your beloved motorcycle at top speed. Your toolkit is just as odd. The Sarrada is a dash that evolves into a super sarradin with a lethal blow, and the Atomic Vuvuzela does exactly what the name suggests to enemy eardrums. A shop sells upgrades and cosmetic items for your character, and mini games are scattered throughout.
