Pandemonium is a platform game, published by Crystal Dynamics, for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, PC and Nokia N-Gage. It features Fargus, a joker, and Nikki, who unwittingly casts a spell that destroys the town. The goal of the game is to reach the Wishing Engine, where they can wish the town back to normal. Each character has a special move - Fargus can deliver a special spinning attack and Nikki can double jump. The game consists of a great variety of unique gameplay objects, such as watermelons, clouds, spider webs and logs. The Playstation and PC versions have 18 levels, while the N-Gage version has 11.
In the PlayStation and Saturn versions, rather than using a memory card as in most games, progress is saved using a password system. Pandemonium employs a so-called "2.5D gameplay". While the game renders polygons in a typical 3-D fashion, gameplay is 2-D. The area of gameplay can be described as a two-dimensional surface twisting and bending in a three-dimensional world. Occasionally, this surface will overlap itself. For example, the main tower of the second level is a cylinder with a spiral-shaped floor.
