Rayman 1

Line 131:

''Rayman'' is a 2D side-scrolling platform game, unlike its successors. The game takes place in [[the valley|a valley]] which is made up of six different worlds, half of which are natural ([[the Dream Forest]], [[Blue Mountains]], and [[the Caves of Skops]]), while the other half is 'imaginary' ([[Band Land]], [[Picture City]], and the [[Candy Château]]). Each of these worlds excluding [[Candy Château]] contains three or four levels, each with six [[cage]]s with [[Electoon]]s to find.

The game's heads-up display consists of how many [[Life|lives]] and units of health [[Rayman]] has, and how many [[Ting]]s he has collected. In most versions, [[Rayman]] starts with four [[Life|lives]] and three units of health, can increase his units of health to five by collecting a [[Big Power]], can gain a [[~~Life|~~life]] by collecting 100 [[Ting]]s, and can obtain up to 99 [[Life|lives]] per [[continue]]. When he takes damage, he loses one unit of health, and when he loses all of them, he loses a [[life]], his temporary [[Telescopic fist|fist]] powers, and all of the [[Ting]]s he had collected. Upon Game Over, he uses one of his five [[continue]]s, which are represented by alarm clocks. In later versions, the number of units of health, starting [[Life|lives]] and [[continue]]s has been increased, and the number of [[Ting]]s required to gain a [[~~Life|~~life]] has been decreased.

The game is considered extremely difficult – much more so than the later installments in [[Rayman (series)|the series]]. Many players do not complete it. This is because the game was never play-tested, leaving the developers with no conception of how difficult it would be for a new player. As a result of the original game's renowned difficulty, great efforts were taken to make ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' accessible to both beginners and veteran players.<ref>http://raymanorigins.uk.ubi.com/blog/2011/11/03/10-ways-to-die/</ref>
