Gameplay Mechanics
Like other Side Scroll Shooter or Platform Shooter game, Zone War use some Basic Movements like Moving, Jumping, and Shooting. Shooting is the main gameplay of Zone War. The POWs System is a unique gameplay that present in Zone War, it act more like Secondary weapon or Power-up. The player can spend their earned ZoneCash at the Zone co. for goods like POWs, Weapons, Ammos, and many more. While in battlefield, the player will allowed to explore the map to finds some secrets. Secrets is a hidden place that if founded by the player, he/she will receive some random or rare rewards. The rewards could be weapons, ammos, POWs, or materials. Materials is the things that we use for Crafting. Crafting can be useful, especially for player that don't have much money to buy weapons or have so many materials in his/her inventory.

There are three difficulty levels in Zone War, it's Don't touch me, Challenge me, and Hit me!!! The Don't touch me difficulty level is designed for they that are new to gaming. In this difficulty level, the player will encounter fewer enemies (most of them are weak enemies), and fewer rare secrets. While the Challenge me difficulty level is only for they that want some challenge and treasure. In this difficulty level, enemy appear to be stronger (a bit) and more rare and random secrets. And the hardest difficulty, Hit me!!! is only for extreme player that really want extreme chellange. In this difficulty level, the player will face few weak enemies, more strong enemies, and less random chest (not secret). The player will rewarded a star after finishing/completing a Zone with a difficulty. One star for Don't touch me, two stars for Challenge me, and three stars for Hit me!!!

Lucy - is the most notable member of Zone co. history, and could be founder. She and Natascha was founded Zone co. (as a notable of game's title too, or early known as ZoneShop or Shopping Zone, and later changed by me). She was also refuse to be called Boss or Manager by telling him/her/whoever it's (mostly Ryan's troll, with bit emotion on her face) "If I really know you! (Ryan) I could be already killed you that time" or to other member "I know this! But, please? Why not making it's everyone led here, or the boss? I'm just assistance and, Natascha was the founder!"

He aslo give Boy an extra taunt for headshots or bouncing bullets/projectile kills like rotating your rifle with notes: "Watch your back first before doing this!". She is quite tomboys (act like Male) with Love sense or Cares, like when Ryan or other, mostly ZoneGuy missing ammo for weapons (minus throwable melee), she ask for cheap price, and when Lucy hear that, she only response like "huh," or "what? money charge on you, Natascha!" or rarely "Remember, prices at Downtown are high, or it's just caused by boys from the S.T.A.R. with shouts from Ryan (if player hired him, or just rarely, from Macro-contactor device) "Lol, cuz I hates the S.T.A.R.s," or "Give him hell boys!" And ambient or bit sound like a loud there "wohoo" or other!
