Zap Blastum

Zap Blastum is a fast-paced, top-down cover shooter in which you face robot invaders across five colorful worlds. You use cover, movement and positioning to outmaneuver enemy forces, while collecting upgrades and building a strategy to survive.

Use cover and positioning

You can snap into cover at any wall, lean around corners automatically while firing, and dash between safe positions under heavy fire. Select a target and hold fire to have Zap aim, leaving you free to focus on moving between cover and choosing your next move. Robot enemies also use cover, coordinate flanking maneuvers and take every opportunity to shoot, so staying ahead of them matters.

Build your strategy

You earn upgrades throughout the adventure and combine effects and boosts to shape each playthrough. The 30 upgrades each have four levels and include status effects, damage, shield and stamina increases, as well as chain reactions.

Worlds and enemies

The game has 30 handcrafted levels across five planets, with different kinds of cover, including short, tall, destructible and status-effect cover. You fight more than 10 types of robot enemies and can hijack vehicles such as turrets, mechs, speeders and copters.

Game modes

You can play Solo Mode or 2-Player Local Co-Op. The game also features hand-drawn animated cutscenes and an original soundtrack that mixes orchestral music, rock and dubstep; its main theme was recorded with a live orchestra.
