John Bedford (Modojo): Given the vast number of weird and wonderful hybrid games that litter the App Store, it's no surprise that many of these genre oddities struggle to make much of an impact. ZEZ is an intriguing blend of endless-running and match-three puzzle solving, and it all kicks off in a boxing ring. Lining up to take a knockout swing against your opponent, you're launched up into the air, where you'll have to frantically match gems to gain more and more height, before crashing back down to earth with enough oomph in your punch to finish off the fight.
Artbit Studios has released ZEZ 2.0 on the App Store. The update builds on the success of the launch version, adding new content and many new features. Version 2.0 also marks the switch from freemium to premium model.
David: ZEZ is, at a glance, a very simple game. While this may be true, there’s still a lot of fun to be had. I mean, how can having a cat armed with a giant metal fist jumping and smashing into monsters not be enjoyable? This game is a mashup of endless running, though it relates more to match three-type games. If you enjoy either genre, then ZEZ is right up your alley. Read through this guide so that you will be able to get a running, or jumping start, in this very addictive title.
