Rest assured, Zapper does have his own unique set of abilities to help him progress through the stages. He can do a basic zap which will help him vanquish most foes and destroy wooden crates that contain various power ups. By collecting enough of one item in particular, you’ll be able to perform a super-zap that’ll grant you access to hidden parts of a level or open up steel crates. The primary objective of each level is to find six eggs that were hidden by Maggie the Magpie.
The developers did manage to include some decent extra modes of play. There’s an arcade mode, which basically has you going through levels you already completed, but with a time limit. Not really too much use for this mode unless you have a random adrenaline rush to conquer Zapper through and through. If the arcade mode doesn’t float your boat, then hopefully the multi player will. Up to four peeps can compete in several modes of play.
The most interesting of the bunch is zipperball. Just imagine soccer, except that Zipper replaces the soccer ball. You can zap ball carriers to make them drop the ball to add some challenge. There are other multi player modes too like "death by zipper" where whenever you come in contact with Zipper results in instance death. There's also a traditional death match mode where the player with the most points wins it all. If you give these modes a chance, you'll be destined to get some fun out of them.
