About Zappy

You control a robot navigating a grid-based puzzle, tasked with pushing a box to a marked destination. The challenge lies in the environment: walls, traps, and roving enemies. Each step you take moves the robot one tile, and enemies respond with their own movements, often homing in on you or the box. If the box is destroyed or falls into a trap, the level fails. You must think several moves ahead, as pushing the box into a dead end or stepping into an enemy's path can end a run quickly.

Difficulty escalates by introducing tighter corridors, more aggressive enemies, and traps that activate in sequence. The game rewards careful planning over reflexes, making it a pure logic exercise with a light robot theme. Each level feels like a miniature puzzle where you must protect the box while maneuvering through danger.

Tips to win

• Before moving, visualize the enemy paths; avoid stepping into squares they will occupy next turn.
• Use walls and obstacles to block enemy routes and create safe zones for the box.
• When possible, push the box in a direction that reduces the number of open sides, minimizing the directions from which it can be attacked.
