ZOOM-BE

ZOOM-BE is a cooperative puzzle-platform game from 7Spot Games where two zombie friends must work together to escape a strange facility. Each character has different strengths, so many rooms cannot be completed by simply rushing toward the exit. You need to activate buttons, move through obstacles and keep both characters together. I find checking what each character can reach before moving either one especially useful because many puzzles depend on cooperation rather than speed.

About ZOOM-BE

ZOOM-BE follows two zombie friends trying to escape from an unusual facility filled with obstacles and puzzle rooms.

Rather than controlling only one character, you need to think about both. Buttons, platforms and environmental objects often require the pair to help each other before the exit becomes reachable.

The game can therefore feel like a platformer and a logic puzzle at the same time.

Latest ZOOM-BE Update

The current Poki edition lists April 2020 as its release date and November 2020 as its latest update.

As of September 2026, the listing shows a 4.5 rating from more than 656,000 votes and confirms support for desktop, phone and tablet.

ZOOM-BE Gameplay

Each level contains platforms, switches and obstacles that prevent the two characters from simply walking straight to the exit.

You need to move them into useful positions, activate parts of the environment and make sure neither character is left behind.

The basic loop is:

Move → Solve the room → Help the other character → Reach the exit together

Controls

• A / D: Move
• Left / Right Arrow Keys: Alternative movement
• W / Up Arrow: Jump
• S / Down Arrow: Kick

These are the controls documented for the current browser edition.

The MDN KeyboardEvent documentation provides useful technical background on keyboard input used by browser games.

Two Characters Working Together

The cooperative structure is the most important part of ZOOM-BE.

The game is designed so that both characters contribute to solving each stage. One may need to reach a switch while the other waits near a door, platform or different route.

I find treating both characters as pieces of the same puzzle easier than trying to finish one character’s route completely before thinking about the other.

Buttons And Switches

Buttons appear throughout the facility.

Activating one can change something elsewhere in the level, such as opening a route or making another part of the room accessible. Poki specifically highlights activating buttons as part of solving the game’s puzzles.

Before moving away from a button, check what changed and whether the other character can now progress.

Jumping

Jumping is handled with W or the Up Arrow.

Some sections require basic platform timing, while others combine jumps with puzzle mechanics.

The challenge is usually not about making extremely complicated jumps. It is about reaching the right location so the pair can continue working together.

Kick Action

Pressing S or the Down Arrow performs the kick action.

This gives the characters another way to interact with parts of the environment beyond simply moving and jumping.

The important part is recognizing when the level expects that extra interaction.

ZOOM-BE Puzzle Design

Many stages are built around sequence.

A typical room may require you to:

1. Move one character toward a switch.
2. Activate part of the environment.
3. Move the second character through the newly available route.
4. Reposition the first character.
5. Bring both toward the exit.

That makes observing the whole room before acting useful.

Never Leave Your Partner Behind

The game’s description repeatedly emphasizes keeping the two zombie friends together.

Reaching an exit area with only one character is therefore not the same as completing the puzzle.

This is what separates ZOOM-BE from an ordinary single-character escape platformer.

ZOOM-BE Strategy

A practical approach is:

1. Look over the entire visible room.
2. Find the exit.
3. Identify buttons and interactive objects.
4. Check which character can reach each one.
5. Move them in a useful sequence.
6. Bring both characters toward the goal.

The mistake I would avoid is immediately moving both characters in the same direction without checking whether one needs to stay behind temporarily.

ZOOM-BE Difficulty

Early stages introduce the basic movement and cooperation mechanics.

Later rooms combine more obstacles and puzzle interactions, so you need to think more carefully about the order in which the two characters move.

The controls themselves remain simple while the level layouts become more demanding.

ZOOM-BE Progression

Progress mainly comes from:

• Completing puzzle rooms
• Learning the two-character system
• Activating switches
• Using environmental objects
• Improving jump timing
• Recognizing cooperative solutions
• Bringing both characters safely to each exit

There is no complicated equipment or upgrade tree required to understand the main game.

Who Created ZOOM-BE?

ZOOM-BE was created by 7Spot Games.

Poki describes 7Spot Games as a Lithuanian video-game developer and publisher. The studio has also created several cooperative puzzle games and the Truck Loader series.

ZOOM-BE 2

ZOOM-BE 2 continues the cooperative formula with the same pair of zombie characters.

The sequel adds new levels, additional puzzles and new challenges while keeping the same basic movement, jumping and kick controls. Poki lists June 2020 as its release date and November 2020 as the latest update.

It can be played alone or cooperatively with another player.

ZOOM-BE 3

ZOOM-BE 3 is another follow-up from 7Spot Games.

It continues the series’ focus on cooperative platforming and environmental puzzle solving, making it a natural option after completing the first two games.

Browser And Platforms

ZOOM-BE supports:

• Desktop
• Phone
• Tablet

The current Poki listing confirms all three device categories.

Its simple directional controls make the core platforming concept adaptable across multiple device types.

For another browser game where positioning and physics matter, Get On Top uses short competitive challenges instead of cooperative puzzles.

Duo Survival

Duo Survival is another 7Spot Games series built around two characters cooperating through puzzle environments.

Players who enjoy the teamwork aspect of ZOOM-BE may find that series familiar because both games depend on understanding how two characters can help one another.

About This Game

ZOOM-BE works because the two-character system makes simple movement more interesting.

Moving, jumping and kicking are easy to learn, but deciding which character should act first can turn a small room into a genuine logic puzzle. Buttons and environmental obstacles force the pair to cooperate rather than simply follow the same route.

The April 2020 browser game remains one of 7Spot Games’ better-known cooperative platform titles.
