CAST OF CHARACTERS
ZAPPER
No one asked this cricket whether he wanted to save the world — but somebody’s got to do it! With your help, Zapper will face every challenge and defeat any foe as he attempts to rescue Zipper from the clutches of Maggie the Magpie.
ZIPPER
Every little grub wants to be just like his older brother — play the same games, scarf the same snacks, watch the same shows — and Zipper is no different. It’s Zipper’s disappearance after a tussle over the TV that leads to Zapper’s quest to rescue his little brother from the thieving magpie!
MAGGIE THE MAGPIE
This greedy thief is attracted to shiny objects, and she wants them all for her nest! Unfortunately, Zipper is one of them. To make matters worse, Maggie is depositing eggs throughout the land that will hatch and release baby magpies who will help her collect ALL of the shiny and blinking baubles in the world.

BE THE CRICKET!
Meet Zapper — the fastest, coolest, most electrifying cricket in the known universe!
And meet Maggie — a greedy grump of a magpie who loves to decorate her nest with shiny baubles that she steals from throughout the land. In place of these trinkets, Maggie leaves behind eggs, which hatch into more magpies, who steal even more! Maggie must be stopped!
Unfortunately (for her!), Maggie nabbed Zapper’s younger brother Zipper and carried him to her nest far away. Now it’s up to Zapper to rescue his little bro and put an end to Maggie’s reign of thievery. It won’t be easy — Zapper’s curious world is crowded with pitfalls and unpleasant creatures. But with his innate abilities, firefly friends and, of course, help from you, he just might have a chance.

ZAPPER’S ABILITIES
JUMP
Use the arrow keys to move Zapper one square in any direction or onto a plat­form that is one step up.
SUPER JUMP
When a regular jump is not enough, try a super jump. Press the Left Ctrl key to jump twice the distance or twice the height of a regular jump.
LOCATE
Zapper has the innate ability to locate any eggs left behind by Maggie, even those hidden in boxes or otherwise concealed. Press the Left Shift key to make Zapper’s antennae point in the direction of the nearest egg.
BUZZ-FLY
Any creature can jump, but only a few can hover. Hold the Left Ctrl key to make Zapper jump and then hover (or Buzz-Fly) for a few seconds.
ZAP
Sometimes you need to deliver a little jolt to remind everybody who’s boss. Press the Left Alt key to zap a creature or to open a box located in an adjacent square.
SUPER ZAP
Sometimes enemies and objects are too tough for Zapper’s normal zap. This is a job for super zap! If you free enough fireflies by collecting power orbs, the friendly fireflies will swarm in a strategic place. When Zapper gets close enough to this swarm, they will charge him up, giving him a single, very powerful super zap. When Zapper is charged up, tap the Left Alt key to use super zap.
14
POWER ORB – Collect these to unlock secrets and charge up your super zap powers.
EXTRA LIFE – Gives you an extra chance to attempt a risky maneuver.
HELMET – Allows Zapper to absorb one hit more than he normally could.
GRIG – If you make Zapper land on certain golden orbs in
the correct order, you will col­lect a Grig, which will then follow you around and switch on the power for the hidden bridge tiles you encounter.
REWARDS
After you collect all of the eggs on a level, you can proceed to the next level.
If you collect all the orbs in a level, you’ll be able to play a bonus round (Story mode only). This will give you a chance to gain extra lives and to start the next level with a helmet.
If you collect every orb in a world (a collection of three or four levels), you unlock a special bonus level.
