Noah's Ark — About this game
Noah’s Ark is a Europe-exclusive NES action platformer developed by Source Research & Development. Noah travels through seven regions, each divided into three stages, while the screen scrolls and the floodwater gradually rises. He jumps between platforms, fires several types of projectile, collects health and power-ups, and searches for the captured animal at the end of each region. Every third stage leads to a large boss. Hidden items and alternate platform routes reward exploration, but spikes and direct enemy contact can remove large amounts of health, so staying above the water and preserving upgrades is important.
