Summary

Zapper is a high-energy and highly engaging game that builds upon the "avoid-em-up" gameplay of Blitz Games' Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge, then elevates the excitement to new heights. In this action-adventure title, Zapper, a determined cricket, leaps through six dynamic worlds on a mission to rescue his brother, who has been captured by the sinister magpie queen. Perilous traps and deadly foes lie in wait. Only quick reflexes and precise timing will allow Zapper to master each world and emerge victorious in the climactic battle against the magpie queen.

Storyline

During a disagreement about the TV, Zapper attempts to use his brother Zipper—a grub—as a makeshift antenna. Zipper is suddenly taken by the notorious thief Maggie the magpie, who leaves behind an egg as a calling card. Frustrated and determined, Zapper sets out on a mission to retrieve his brother and see Maggie locked up. In the end, Zapper successfully rescues Zipper after defeating Maggie, and once again uses him as a TV antenna, just in time to enjoy some quality television alone.
