Meet Lizard Lars: Super Action Man of International Danger Lizard.
Follow Agent Lars from the perilous beaches of "Tutorial Bay" through the dense and dangerous "Jungles of Incredible Peril" on your quest to save the world from the clutches of sinister forces. Only Lars can confront the mad organization of doom lurking in the ancient island ruins, learn their terrible and destructive secrets, and ultimately foil whatever evil plan they have scheduled for this week.
Will good prevail? It will take all of your skill and cunning as you jump, dodge, and swim your way through over 60 intense levels of platform-shaped danger.
Lars Includes:
- Fantastic jumping platform action.
- A wide range of baddies, including rats, bigger rats, coco-rats, and something we call SnarlyFish.
- Original soundtracks and hand-painted backgrounds.
- Amazing 8-bit Retro Graphics. That's almost 64 pixels per square inch!
- Thrilling story line!
- Highscore leader boards for when you're bored with the thrilling story.

GAMEPLAY NOTES: The level progression for Lars is laid out like Super Mario Bros. Easier up front, much more difficult after the first few worlds. If you find it's too easy initially, don't worry. The later missions are much... much more challenging. Stick with it to the end, you won't regret it.
PERFORMANCE GUIDE:
Lars performs well on 2nd Generation iPods and Newer, and iPhone 3GS and Newer, as well as the iPad of course. iPhone3G is slower, but playable. First generation iPhone and iPod Touch not supported. If your gameplay seems slow, try switching to FULLSCREEN mode under Options for a speed boost.

Great game!

If you like any of the classic nintendo games you'll love this one! Lots of levels too, and some are a little tricky, but not unbeatable :) Definitely worth the purchase!

Played right through the whole thing, addicting and fun. The controls are simple yet effective, very easy to pickup. Remind me of Super MArio Brothers, but you can't just fly through the levels.
Old School Pros and Cons

I feel nostalgic towards this game despite it being new and having never played it before. It stays true to old platformers so well that it's both a good thing and a bad thing. Controls are solid. Would love to see another form of combat other than hop 'n bop, though. Maybe a little more of a plot, without having to read so much (you don't need multiple paragraphs explaining how left and right arrows and a single jump button works). At least the "tutorial" text doesn't get in the way. Overall, a very solid and fun game. Well worth it's price.
This game rulez!

I love the controls of the game! There are very few games I download and actually play through like this one. I hope it rises in the game ranks as it should.
Best platformer controls on iOS

This game has a fun sense of humor and great controls. Text could be better on the smaller screens but it's readable.
amazing platformer!

this is a great platformer! ive had alot of fun playing it, everything is done very well from the sound to the retro style graphics. it reminded me of my mario playing days when i was a kid :) , there are alot of levels on offer. so im going to be playing this for sometime now, the controls work fine, didnt face any bugs, the only thing i can think of that is missing is game center achievements, that would have been a great addition.. other than that a great game, well worth the price.
Frustration!

This would be a great game if it actually saved your place. At most I've been able to get through 4 levels before Lars forgets where I am in the game and starts me back at the tutorial. If the next updates fixes this, Lars will be back on my iPhone.
Great game!!!
