DESCRIPTION:

Zapper is an action-packed and addictive game that starts with the “avoid-em-up” game play mechanics of Blitz Games’ own Frogger 2: Swampy’s Revenge, and then takes the action to a whole new level. In this action-adventure game, Zapper (a cricket) hops his way through six interactive worlds in a quest to find his brother, held captive by the evil magpie queen. Dangerous traps and even more dangerous enemies await Zapper. It will take fast-footed skill and timing to conquer all the worlds and survive the final showdown with the magpie queen.

GAME FEATURES: - Multi-player games for up to four players. - Classic “avoid-em-up” game play from the makers of Frogger 2: Swampy’s Revenge: Blitz Games. - Unique enemies and traps to thwart Zapper on his quest. - Intuitive control system with increasingly complex levels makes Zapper a pick-up-and-play treat for both novice and seasoned gamers.

Lernen Sie Zapper, die elektrisierendste Grille des Universums, kennen ...

Details

Zapper ist eine muntere kleine Grille mit einem Problem: Sein kleiner Bruder Zipper wurde von der fiesen Elster Maggie entführt! Dieser Vogel ist ganz versessen darauf, alles zu stehlen, was irgendwie glitzert und glänzt. Ausserdem legt Maggie Eier, aus denen noch mehr von diesen diebischen Elstern schlüpfen und den anderen das Leben zur Hölle machen. Schlüpfen Sie in die Rolle des unerschrockenen Insekts, sammeln Sie verschiedene Gegenstände ein, retten Sie Ihren zirpenden Bruder Zipper und bereiten Sie den diebischen Wegen Maggies ein Ende.

Indem das Spiel dieselben Ausweich-Taktiken benutzt wie der frühere Blitz-Title Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge, lässt Sie Zapper in eine Welt voller Action-geladener 3-D-Kästchen eintauchen, in der Sie sich hüpfend über Abgründe und Hindernisse fortbewegen, vielen Gefahren ausweichen und alle fiesen Schmutzbuckel in der Umgebung mit Ihren Elektro-Schock-Fühlern ordentlich grillen müssen. Sie können Ihre Fühler in vier verschiedenen Welten ausstrecken. Dort gilt es, 17 einzigartige Level zu erkunden und zusätzliche verborgene Gebiete und Bonus-Level freizuschalten. Zapper können Sie im Einzelspieler-Modus spielen und dabei eine ordentliche Portion Arcade-mässige Action geniessen. Allerdings ist auch der Mehrspieler-Modus zu empfehlen, in dem Sie es mit bis zu drei Freunden aufnehmen können.

Features

• Hüpfen Sie auf der Suche nach deinem Bruder durch vier helle, farbenfrohe Welten

• Mit dem Mehrspieler-Modus können bis zu vier Spieler an der heissen Action teilhaben

• Grillen Sie Ihre Gegner mit Ihrer handlichen Waffe
