Zoop - Player Reviews & Feedback
About Zoop
Fast-paced action-puzzle game where the player eliminates colored shapes that are approaching his alter ego, another colored shape, before they reach the top, ala Tetris.
In order to eliminate the other shapes, you must point your piece at it and 'fire'. If the shape is the same color as your piece, the shape is eliminated, as well as all of the shapes of the same color behind it, until your piece hits a piece of a different color. If the shape is of a different color, or it is hit when collecting a line of similar shapes, your piece exchanges colors with the shape.
A Unique Puzzler
Maybe I am just slow, but this game kicked my kiester. I don't think I ever got more than 6 stages deep, and I remember it was cause for celebration to get past the 3rd stage. What do you do? You are an arrow that assumes the color of the targets you hit. If you shoot green targets, you will become green but the green targets will change to whatever you were before firing.
You are surrounded on all 4 sides by ever approaching columns of targets that vary in color. There isn't much to say about graphics or sound, other than they are not really bad. This is a great game for those of you who have spent hours on Yahoo games. If not, don't bother.
