Play Expedition der Stachelbeeren : Zoff im Zoo Online

Expedition der Stachelbeeren: Zoff im Zoo is a Game Boy Advance game from 2000, developed by Neon Studios and published by THQ. It arrived during a period when the handheld was becoming a hub for quirky, European-developed platformers and puzzle adventures, offering an alternative to the more mainstream titles dominating the market.

You control a small group of gooseberry characters, navigating them through a series of interconnected zoo environments. The main goal is to repair the damaged zoo by solving environmental puzzles, often requiring you to distract or interact with the various animals blocking your path. Key mechanics include switching between your berry characters to utilize their unique abilities, such as one being able to roll into tight spaces while another can toss objects to trigger switches. The game progresses screen by screen, with a focus on light exploration and item collection to advance. The pacing is deliberate, leaning more on thoughtful puzzle-solving than frantic action, and the difficulty comes from figuring out the specific sequence of actions needed for each animal encounter. It feels like directing a short, interactive cartoon where every solution is a little victory.
