Wacky Zingoz is a Flash game from the Arcade of Webkinz in which a creature called Wacky is hit with a bat for distance. It is the first of several preserved games about Zingoz.
The idea
The instructions explain: "Zingoz are strange little creatures, and Wacky is really strange because he loves to get whacked around!" His friend, a Zangoz, loves to do the whacking.[1]
How it is played
One click makes Wacky jump from a tree and a second swings the bat.[1] Timing decides the result: too early and Wacky goes high and sticks in the ground, too late and he skids along it, and just right makes him bounce the furthest.[1] A flag marks the distance of each hit, and the player has five tries, which give a total distance and a score.[1]
Rewards
The instructions give the rate as "1 for every 350 points you get", without naming the currency in the readable text.[1] A hit of more than 600 won a trophy, with the note "Only one trophy per game".[2][2] The game's text also carries the label "Player vs Player - 2 Player Tournament" and messages for two players taking turns, such as "You tied! You must play another round!".[2][2] See KinzCash, Trophies and prizes and Tournament Arena.
A later version is preserved as Wacky Zingoz Extreme. The files do not say who made the game or when.
