ZooCube is a 2.5D puzzle video game developed by Graphic State and released in 2002 by Acclaim Entertainment. It was the first puzzle game for the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance. A mad scientist named Dr. Buc Ooze has been conducting “controversial research into animal shaping” and has left many animals misshapen or in otherwise unnatural forms.

In response, a machine called the “ZooCube” is created which reverses the effects Dr. Ooze’s experiments. The player, named “Aon”, is tasked with rescuing all the trapped animals, traveling aboard a “flying ark” and armed with the “ZooCube”. In ZooCube, players score points by matching animal heads that fall towards the faces of a rotatable cube.

The player also needs to make matches quickly so that heads don’t build up too much on the cube which can cause the player to lose, in a similar fashion to Tetris. Along the way, the player can acquire power-ups which can help the player in various way or hinder an opponent in multiplayer mode.
