How to play Zoom Void

One rule, two gestures.

The rule

The dashed circle around your hole is your reach. Anything that touches it is resolved at once:

• Smaller than you — swallowed. You score, and you grow a little.
• Bigger than you — the run ends.

Reading the rims

• Green rim — smaller than you right now. Food.
• Red rim — bigger than you right now. Grow past it, or get out of its way.
• Red rim with a second dashed ring — beyond even your maximum size. No amount of growing saves you. Shrink and let it pass.
• Gold rim — a MEGA. It comes straight down the middle and cannot be dodged. It sits just inside your maximum size, so you must grow almost all the way to swallow it.

Rims update live as you change size, so the answer to “can I eat this?” is always on screen.

Controls

Gestures (the default, no buttons on screen):

• Touch — pinch with two fingers. Spread to grow, squeeze to shrink.
• Trackpad — pinch, or scroll with two fingers.
• Mouse — wheel up to grow, wheel down to shrink.

On-screen buttons are available instead — open Settings (⚙️) and switch. Hold the left half of the screen to shrink and the right half to grow, or use the keys: ← ↓ A S shrink, → ↑ W D Space grow.

One scheme at a time: with gestures on, the keys and screen halves do nothing; with buttons on, the wheel and trackpad do nothing. In either, Space or Enter restarts instantly.

Let go and your size drifts back to neutral. Committing to a size is deliberate, and it costs you something — that is the whole game.

Scoring

• Bigger prey, relative to your size, is worth far more than crumbs.
• Swallowing something close to your own size scores a PERFECT bonus.
• Keep eating to build a combo multiplier. It decays if you go hungry.
• A MEGA is worth the most of all.

Tips for a high score

• Read the rims, not the shapes. Green is food, red is danger, and the colour changes the moment your size does.
• Only commit when it pays. Your size drifts back to neutral when you let go, so grow for something worth eating, then let it settle.
• Eat close to your own size. A near-equal swallow scores a PERFECT, worth far more than a stream of crumbs.
• Keep eating. The combo multiplier decays while you go hungry, so a steady chain beats one big bite.
• See a double ring? Shrink. A red rim with a second dashed ring is beyond your maximum size — the only way out is to get small and let it pass.
• Save room for a MEGA. A gold rim needs almost your full size, and it is worth the most of all.

Revive

Once per run, after dying, you can press REVIVE to carry on with the same run. It shows an ad first, and Continue unlocks after 10 seconds. It is optional: PLAY AGAIN starts a fresh run instead.
