Zapp (& Zapper)

Story

Planet Nemarex is under attack! While traveling through space, you came across a little fellow called Zaphyrox-B04 (but you can call him Zapp). His planet has been invaded by nasty aliens! Will you help him destroy all that is evil to save his planet?

About the game

Zapp (& Zapper) is a short (and sweet?) 2 player co-op game, where player 1 uses their platforming skills to control Zapp, while player 2 clears the sky from invaders using Zapper, the trustworthy light gun. You can also play in 1-player mode, where you won’t have to worry about hazards from the sky. For a tiny challenge, you could even play 2-player mode by yourself!

Controls

Zapp (P1)
D-Pad: move left/right
A: jump
B: shoot

Zapper (P2)
Point the light gun at the enemies on top of the screen to zap them into oblivion.
