ZOE Begone!

Hand-drawn bullet-hell! ZOE Begone! is a frenetic arcade shooter combining the run-and-gun mechanics of Metal Slug with the looping arenas and shmup-ing of Resogun, wrapped up with 1930's drawn-on-film style animation. Fight your own creator as the artist bears down on you with pen and paintbrush!

Hand-drawn bullet-hell! ZOE Begone! is a frenetic arcade shooter combining the run-and-gun mechanics of Metal Slug with the looping arenas and shmup-ing of Resogun, wrapped up with 1930's drawn-on-film style animation. Fight your own creator as the artist bears down on you with pen and paintbrush!

All Zoe wants is some peace and quiet, but she's gonna have to deal with the pesky animator before she'll be able to get some rest.

Destroy the animator's tools, blast their creations to bits, collect Apples to spend on Power Ups, rack up your multiplier, and reclaim your serene surroundings to help Zoe get back to normality as fast as you can (and bag yourself a high score in the process)!

Reviews

“Wow, would you look at it: this arcade-style shoot-'em-up that looks and feels and even sounds the part, thanks to the jazzy, old-timey soundtrack accompanying the action”
PC Gamer

“Even in these early stages of development it’s a great little shooter with a fantastic filmic visual style and a nice amount of depth to its fast paced arcade action”
Alpha Beta Gamer

“In ZOE Begone!, you dodge and unleash attacks at blistering speed before the game erupts into a euphoric shower of pointillist colour, dazzling the eyes and punishing the thumbs.”
