Zippy the Circle

Zippy the Circle is a Christian-themed video game for the personal computer, developed and published by Breakthrough Gaming, and released in March 2006.

Story

After Zippy the Circle and the church youth group return home from a ski-resort road trip, they find that everyone in the town is missing, and a mysterious black circle is above their town. Zippy uses his flying snowboard to fly into the sky and find out what the big black circle is. It ends up that Jagged has trapped all of Zippy's friends and family in his ship and will take over his home island to search for the "MAGIC GEMS." Zippy is ejected from the ship. Zippy then has to work his way back to Jagged's ship and save his family and friends and stop Jagged.

Multiple Endings
If you beat the game normally, you will see the basic ending. If you get all the medals, you will get a special ending, which adds a new scene to the ending. Either way, the game ends with a cliff hanger, which suggests a sequel.

Characters
During the game, you will get to play as three different characters.

Zippy the Circle
This is the main character. He must save his home from Jagged.

Tina
This is Zippy the Circle's sister, and when you save her from Jagged's ship, you can play as her and ice skate through one of the levels.

Jarius
When Zippy is separated from his hometown, Jarius offers to help him get back to Jagged's ship.

Jagged
He is the one who is trying to take over Zippy's home town.

Gameplay
The game progresses level-by-level. When you get to the end of a level, you go on to the next one. The game's graphics are 3D, but each level's gameplay is either 3D freeroaming or 3D platform movement. If you complete a certain task in the level, you get a medal.

Raft
