Together Retro: Zoop

[Hobie-wan]

Played 4 games. Best was the 3rd. Game isn't really clicking yet and I'm not particularly enjoying playing it. Maybe I just suck, but seems to ramp up and games end quickly.

Genesis

Also comparing screens, some versions are going to be harder/easier.

GB and GG have 5 vertical and 6 horizontal slots outside the box. 88 spaces for pieces.
GEN has 4 by 7. 88 spaces.
SNES and PS1 have 5 by 7. 96 spaces.
Jaguar has 5 by 8! 104 spaces!

So, which one would you say would be harder and which one would be easier?
Having more space isn't necessarily better because of scoring, I would say.
It also depends if the speed of new spawns has been changed to try to compensate the difference in playing space, but indeed I think it isn't a coincidence that the PS1 players are currently at the top by a decent margin.

Well, as you say, maybe the speed is different but playing on the Genesis I only have 4 rows on the top and bottom before I'm screwed.

For games like this, so far I like Flipull much better.

Took a few tries to figure out what I was doing, ended up getting 51,700.

Zoop may be my favorite puzzle game of all time. I really like the Genesis version's soundtrack as well. A fine example of how to produce great music with the FM chip.

Slowly but surely...
