About

Rayman is a 2D platformer developed by Ubi Pictures and released in 1995 for PC (Microsoft Windows and DOS). Players control Rayman, a limbless hero who navigates a series of colorful side-scrolling levels, rescuing imprisoned Electoons and collecting lives scattered throughout the world. The PC release is a distinct version of the game, featuring different placements for cages and extra lives compared to the earlier console and handheld releases, giving players familiar with those versions a somewhat altered experience in terms of level exploration and resource management. The core gameplay centers on traversing varied environments, defeating enemies, and freeing captive characters to progress through the game's stages. As one of the earlier entries in the long-running Rayman franchise, this version established the character and platforming foundations that would define the series in subsequent years.
