Zoop (GG)
Zoop | ||||||
|
Zoop is a puzzle game by Hookstone. You control an arrow in the middle of a grid and must shoot different colored pieces closing in on you by shooting them with your arrow. However, you can only destroy ("zoop") pieces that are the same color as your arrow, otherwise you and the piece you shot will swap colors.
Along the way, you can get powerups such as a lightning bolt which clears many blocks wherever it's shot, and collecting 5 springs will cause all pieces on the board to be destroyed.
The Game Gear version had to be scaled down due to the low screen resolution, so the wacky shapes of the computer versions was changed to just simple rectangles.

Music
The original DOS version featured 11 tracks for various multitracked soundcards. The Game Gear version had to be scaled down to just 4 channels; 3 square waves and one noise channel. The Game Gear version only uses 7 of the 11 songs in the DOS version, though it also uses some of the unused songs in the DOS version as well.
To do the arrangements, Eric wrote MIDI files in Cakewalk, which were then converted to David Warhol's sound driver.
The songs are named after the XMI files in the DOS version.

The game credits Brian Schmidt, but Brian said he didn't work on the Game Gear except for Surf Ninjas. The arrangements are identical to the ones used in the Game Boy, which credits Eric Swanson for the arrangements. We have reached out to Eric who has confirmed working on the arrangements for the Game Gear version.
