Sep 19, 2025ZOE Begone! is as intriguing as it is enjoyable, and once you battle its steep learning curve you'll be rewarded with an utterly fantastic shmup.

Sep 19, 2025Zoe Begone! is the perfect example of a modern arcade game. It takes the best from modern gaming tools to add a wonderful polish to its graphical style that those from the days of arcade halls couldn't. It stays close to its roots with a gameplay cycle that will take 5-10 minutes before the game over screen appears, before players last half an hour as they learn not just to beat the game, but also chase high scores. It is so refreshing to see a game dare to go in this direction and even make the easy difficulty level challenging for real, obviously not being meant to be beaten easily. The only thing lacking to make the arcade feeling 100% pure is an actual arcade cabinet.

Sep 26, 2025ZOE Begone! is a frantic shooter where a green triangle with attitude blasts through doodles that look like they’ve emerged from an animator’s old sketchbook. The controls sometimes trip over themselves, but the turbulent rhythm of dodging, dashing, and cartoon carnage is solid.
