Play WackyER Zingoz
If you like Wacky Zingoz, you’re going to LOVE WackyER Zingoz – the newest game in the Arcade. The object of the game is to complete levels by whacking Wacky multiple times onto and around ice, rock, sand or grass obstacles! When Wacky flies through the air, he can collect coins and boosts (which you can use to make Wacky fly extra-far). Watch the map at the top of the screen and you’ll be able to keep track of how much further you need to go before you’ve completed a level. Try and land Wacky as close to the center of the target at the end of each level for major bonus points! You’re sure to enjoy this even wackier version of an old favorite!
