Zup! Zero

Zup! Zero proves that the more achievements and sequels a game has, the more it may result in a monotonous repetition.

Another Zup! game, another month. Ever since Greenlight has been published, it is no secret that cheaply thrown together games created by people who don't have the dedication to create a completed game get published to greenlight every day. Zup! Zero combines two of the things that I dislike greatly, casual puzzle games where levels can be completed in seconds, and games put together in a premade software without trying to create something interesting.

Created in Clickteam Fusion, Zup! Zero is the fifth zup game in a series of bland puzzle games. This time, Zup! is another physics puzzler that uses explosions to guide a blue ball into a turquoise platform. The main interaction in the puzzle is clicking red objects to create an explosion that sends yellow objects towards a direction and clicking grey tiles to make objects fall. Being a poorly thought out game would normally turn away people from buying such a game.

However, Zup knows that earning a lot of achievements and earning trading cards is an effective way to convince people to buy the game. To further seal the deal, Zup! makes the price at $1, the lowest base price a game can be on steam without being free. Zup! takes achievements to the extreme by generating an achievement around every second you play the game. When you make achievements earned so easily to the point of not having any special merit, then the word "Achievement" loses it's meaning.

Zup! is a game series that will continue to pop up on the steam front page with such a successful formula to attract casual players into buying it.

"The seven factor again"

Zup! Zero is not a bad game at all. Instead it's straight forward puzzle gaming. No hard levels beatable within 1 hour. Rewarded with 1043 achievement for leisure playing. But I still downvote if the achievements popup factor 7 for just entering or beating a level or to find the hidden objects exists. Then the popup machine like in Zup3! rises again. Hopefully that was the last part of the series.
