About this game
Zen opposes Lord Contaminous and his pollution-powered forces with the Photon-Stick. The opening stage selection lets the player choose a disaster to tackle, and each mission has an objective to complete before its boss fight. The action alternates side and diagonal views. Restoring flowers, rescuing people from an oil rig and striking railway switches ask for different uses of movement and attacks, giving the environmental theme a role in the tasks.
