THE STORY
Towards the end of the 11th century, a young crusader named Sir Ababol from Manchester starts off on a venture to Jerusalem. The brave knight travels across the ever-green prairies of French Britain and climbs the infinite heights of the Pyrenees to arrive at Alcoraz River.
Sir Ababol witnesses the courage of St. George from Cappadocia against the infidels and is so astonished from what he sees that he stumbles over a rock, falling into the Alcoraz River that carries him to the Monegros Desert.
When he wakes up, Sir Arabol realises that he has lost his sword. Fearing that his journey to Jerusalem has come to an end, he searches around for the sword when he comes across a farmer tending to his crops. When he asks the farmer about the whereabouts of his sword, our knight is directed to a land full of Ababol flowers. Sir Ababol is confused but believes the red flowers may be tied to recovering his sword and decides to collect them, hoping to then continue his journey to Jerusalem.
ABOUT THE GAME
Sir Ababol is a flick-screen platform adventure game with the objective of collecting 24 red flowers.
Sir Ababol can move around and jump. While he has no attack weapons, Sir Arabol can eliminate enemies by jumping on top of them otherwise he needs to avoid enemies and creatures scattered around the game world. Our hero cannot swim either, so water hazards also need to be avoided. Keys need to be collected to open doors that will provide access to various sections of the game.
