Explore rogue planet Zaga-33, beware the hideous green aliens, find esoteric devices to help you, destroy the alien cortex to escape.
Absolutely made up that one of my all time favourite games is playable and purchasable again. Zaga 33 is back on the app store (the Android version is currently up on Itch only but hopefully that’ll change soon, a PC version is also available)
Zaga 33 was in my thoughts a lot whilst I was writing the early versions of Death Ray Manta and its philosophy of keeping the scoring straightforward and immediately readable is one that I’d still stick with if I had enough noggin space to design something today. Perhaps one day I’ll get round to that but in the meantime, Zaga still holds up really well.
I’m definitely out of practice, mind. My current high score is a whopping 7.
Google is broken, social media is fragmented (this one, at least, is a good thing) the internet is an AI toilet. Getting someone to look at your stuff on online is getting ridiculously rough. Sharing a post amongst chums or the internet at large helps loads. So here’s some buttons! Wahey!
The online home of Rob Fearon, disabled videogame maker, games journalist, crap film watcher, gobshite and doodler. Rob’s been around games a very, very long time now and Punching Robots Club is their personal blog featuring whatever nonsense takes their fancy.
Sometimes it’s a sketch, a review, an article about videogames, a pointer to something Rob finds cool. Whatever, really. Expect anything, Rob’s tired of being a brand online and so it’s just stuff and things these days. Nice stuff and things, mind you.
