Play Zapper (E)(Patience) Online
You flick your frog’s tongue at bugs with weirdly precise timing, dodging wasps and praying you don’t overshoot into a spiderweb. The chaos sneaks up on you—one minute it’s chill, the next your thumb’s cramping.
Zapper: One Wicked Cricket landed on the Game Boy Advance in 2002, developed by Blitz Games. It was part of that wave of platformers that tried something a little different, putting you in control of a cricket on a mission instead of the usual hero. The game had a specific, quirky charm that felt right at home on the handheld.
You control Zapper, a cricket tasked with rescuing his kidnapped family from the villain Maggoty. The core of the game is navigating through various backyard environments, screen by screen, using your extendable tongue to latch onto objects, swing across gaps, and collect power-ups. You also use it to zap enemies, primarily different types of bugs, which requires careful aim and timing. The game mixes exploration with combat, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, keeping you on your toes. It feels like a strange, frantic trip through a dangerous garden where every jump and shot matters.
