Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom is a 1-4 player platform game for the PlayStation 2. In a far away place and time lies a realm of myths and legends, where young people study the magical art of Myth Making at the Myth Makers Academy.
The academy's Assistant Principle Synster Rebus works there and is a bad guy. He has captured eight students and imprisoned them in magical balls called Orbs of Doom, scattering them all around the world. The player takes on the role of one of these characters, navigating through each of the five levels in the five different worlds in a three dimensional landscape.
The game requires players to navigate a path from the start point to the exit gates, avoiding perilous drops, exploding boxes, see-saws, pendulums, and platforms. Each level can be played in Normal Mode, where time is not limited, or in one of three timed modes: Star Challenge, Time Attack, or Pickups.
Star Challenge involves collecting ten red stars before the exit gates open, while Time Attack aims to complete the level as fast as possible. In Pickups, players must score highly by collecting gold stars within a time limit. The game can be played using the keyboard, gamepad, or joystick.
