ZIKI

His name is Ziki. He is not soft.

Someone parked a raincloud over Ziki’s nap spot, and now the whole town pays. Grab the bat, smash everything in sight, outrun the kawaii cops, and dive into a cardboard box before time runs out. If it fits, he sits.

ZIKI is a fast, funny arcade smasher drawn like a black-and-white manga page, with one hot-pink accent. It plays right in your browser on phone, tablet or desktop.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Swing at everything. Vases, TVs, hydrants, pianos, cars. Three-hit combos end in a big SMASH.
  2. Fill the damage quota. Every broken thing adds to the bill. Chain hits to multiply it. More damage brings more sirens.
  3. Get in the box. Hit the quota, find the cardboard box, level clear.

FEATURES

  • 200 levels across downtown streets, someone’s very nice house, rooftops at night and a kawaii mall.
  • A boss every 10 levels: Chief Pugsley, a pug with a megaphone, a belly slam and a grudge.
  • 200 songs. Every level writes its own track with its own key, tempo and groove. Your hits play notes in that key, combos add layers, and big smashes make the music duck.
  • Kawaii cops with paperwork:
    • Pup Cops with batons
    • A hamster SWAT team
    • Dive-bombing pigeon patrol
    • Trash-throwing raccoons (bat the trash back for a HOME RUN)
    • Sgt. Bruno the bulldog, who charges through furniture
  • Knocked-out cops break whatever they land on. Chain reactions encouraged.
  • Raincloud Rage. Fill the meter and Ziki’s personal raincloud zaps every cop on screen with lightning.
  • 9 lives, obviously. Fish give one back.
  • Everything breaks with a proper crash: glass shatters, metal clangs, wood splinters.

POWER-UPS
Grab a ?! bubble to swap the bat for something ridiculous for a few seconds:

  • 🔨 HAMMER TIME: every swing sends a ground-shaking shockwave
  • 🐟 SALMON SLAP: huge reach, very wet
  • 🎸 ROCK ON: every riff blasts a sound wave across the screen
  • ⚾ BAT 9000: one hit breaks anything
  • 🌀 POOL NOODLE OF DOOM: hits everything in a long wobbly line
