ChineseZodiac

ChineseZodiac is a first-person single-player shooting game. You aim with the mouse and shoot targets listed in the lower-right corner, completing each task before time runs out or your limited ammunition is depleted. Targets move faster and more targets are added as you gain levels.

Aim and shoot

The game displays information about the target under your aim, including its name, distance and picture, along with the coordinates of your aiming position. Your player information shows your level, range, countdown and ammunition. As your level increases, your range, time and ammunition also increase.

Tools and scenes

Each level offers four tools. You can store tools in a toolbar that holds up to 10, then activate them with their corresponding number keys:

• Automatic aiming: automatically aims at a target you need to kill, once.
• Add time: adds 10 seconds to the countdown.
• Freeze: stops all spheres for 3 seconds.
• Increase range: temporarily increases your range tenfold, ending after one shot.

You can choose from 10 3D scenes in the main menu. The game also offers 28 interface languages.

Game progress

The main menu lets you start a game, load a saved game, switch scenes or languages, or end the game. Pressing Esc opens the pause screen, where you can return to the game, save, or go back to the main menu. The load screen lets you select saved files; empty files cannot be loaded.
