Play Zzzep Online

Zzzep was a 1990 Amiga release from developer Eclipse, a small team that produced a handful of games for the platform. It arrived during a period when the Amiga was well established, offering a particular style of fast, abstract arcade action that felt at home on the system.

You control a small, nimble energy vessel that you maneuver around a single screen, firing short-range lightning bursts at geometric enemies that swarm in from all sides. The main goal is simply to survive each wave, clearing the screen to progress while building a high score through chained eliminations. Key mechanics include a combo system that multiplies points for rapid successive kills and the occasional appearance of hidden power-ups that temporarily enhance your firepower or defense. The pacing is relentless; enemies become more aggressive and numerous with each level, demanding quick reflexes and constant spatial awareness. It feels like a tense, electrical dance where one mistimed move ends the game abruptly.
