Plot and gameplay

The country has been overtaken by an evil wizard. The player takes the role of one of two brave wizards who set out on a journey to defeat the villain and free the country.[5]

Each of the time-limited levels sees the player aim to save all prisoners and open doors to the next level. In addition, the player has to avoid enemies that try to catch them.[6] Various mechanisms such as ladders are able to be manipulated in order to complete each of the 60 levels, which are set in different environments such as a castle, forest or cave. While predominantly a single-player title, the game can also be played in cooperative or competitive multiplayer.[5]

Reception

Lukáš Erben of Score magazine gave Lurid Land 70%. He praised the gameplay and technical execution, while criticizing multiplayer.[6] Meanwhile, Riki magazine also gave the title 70%, praising the gameplay and music, while critical of its 2D graphics. The reviewer ultimately deemed Lurid Land the best Czech-Slovak puzzle game.[5]
