This sonic or mario-like game of Zoomu is about you, the heroic small rolling ball called Zoomu. You must roll through five levels finding your friends who have gotten lost after a recent invasion, and must avoid obstacles yourself while collecting dots and lives to stay alive and keep playing. Each of the levels builds upon the previous with extra challenges, and each level introduces new features, such as teleporters, switches, spikes, secret areas, spring boards...etc. It may a challenge to get to the end, but it will be fun all the way with the gradual learning curve!

Scattered amongst the levels are storyline notes that can be read at your lesiure, but that is not necessary. You can simply jump in and enjoy the game if you like.

There is also a speed run mode allowing you to simply go through levels without having to deal with such things as collecting friends or dots. You simply have to reach the end.
