Welcome to the latest ZAP update and thank you for joining us!
A lot of show and some tell for you this week so let’s get rolling!
Controllers and support for keyboard
Yes, we have it! Check out the latest, we have keyboard configuration for BOTH players and support for Xbox as well as PlayStation type controllers. You wanted it YOU GOT IT.
We also added a little disclaimer at the start of game load to tell you and all our friends that a controller is recommended. Come on folks – keyboard is still there but try it with a controller if you would be so kind! Your choice though and we let you do both.
Game tuning and tweaking!
Bounce shots are now in and you can select the amount of bounce. Check out some samples of bounce testing..
Richocet Shots are in too! YEEEEEEEESSSS!!!! This is one of my personal favs! You can guide your shots!
Mazard Super Bombs
Sitting still in Mazard?!?! NO MORE! You will have to keep moving while playing Mazard. This is s shot of the bomb and the current temp art for the flames. Note that the flames DO KILL enemies so there might be some useful strategy for people!
Menu Work
We did a lot of work on the menu’s this week and MAN – you gotta see the latest. Check out the sweet intro menu with the new game and option selection. Come on folks – that is COOL! HAAAAAAAA!!!
Game Play Video from Thursday
How’s the game coming along you ask? Well, look at the gameplay session from last Thursday! SEE FOR YOURSELF!
Breakdown of the games in ZAP
We had a few questions about what EXACTLY does the ZAP collection have compared to the similar games inside Boss 101. Generally speaking… a lot more! Mulitplayer, larger playing fields and tons more options are only a few. Check out the chart below for a highlight breakdown.
Ok – lots of work this week and more to come. Drop by the Zazmo store and if you are feeling froggy why don’t you sign up the ZAP Beta and check out the game yourself?!?

Hello and welcome to the latest Zazmo Arcade Pack update!
Let’s get rolling with today’s update since it’s all show and tell for you!

We got in main artwork for the title screen and started work on the game menu system. As you can see we’re keeping the theming we used in Boss 101. We did expand on the look but I think you might like the new game selection bit as one of the better parts!
Check this out!
Game Selection
The whole idea is to give you something to access the games and options you want quickly. You can see here from the WIP shots we allow you to select your game and option with simple scroll and select motions.
Game Improvements
Every game in the arcade has co-op and single player modes. Some of the games even allow head to head against a buddy. Below are just a few of the thing we did this week to improve various games and game mechanics
Tank Wars – Breakable walls
Tank Wars has an option to allow breakable walls when playing head to head! No more sneaking around!
Breakdown Head to Head – Power Drop
The better you do in Breakdown the more you charge the ‘drop bar’. What this does is allow you to drop more brick layers on your opponent to, ahem, roughen up their day. Haha. Watch this ten level drop happening when the drop counter hits zero.
Mazard – Three new maps
Here’s just one of the three new maps for Mazard. All maps are for co-op or single player use!
Last Stand – Gameplay tuning
We dove into the game Last Stand and started tuning AI and player movement. Here’s a sample:
Gameplay session with Matt (Toborprime)
Friday night we sat down with Toborprime and had a long session of Zazmo Arcade gaming. You can check that out here and we recommend you do! You’ll get a first hand look at all the games in the arcade pack as they are meant to be played!
