Gameplay Overview
The player can fire their shot, deploy bombs and perform barrel rolls. Barrel rolls are performed by first pushing left or right briefly then move to the opposite direction. Barrel rolls give i-frames, and if at low power, they temporarily enhance shot power by 1 level during the duration of the roll. If the player dies with bombs in stock, they will all be used and trigger an auto-bomb.
Zing Zing Zip has 7 stages and loops infinitely.

Rank
Rank is not well understood in this game, but it seems to exist. It mostly manipulates agressiveness of enemy fire and possibly the suicide bullets frequency.
Voice lines
The game is also notable for having whacky voicelines during gameplay.
- Let`s go! (Spawn)
- Oh yeah! (Weapon item pickup)
- Yahoo! Hey, hey, hey! HEY! (Barrel rolls)
- Jellybean! (Bomb pickup)
- Come on, jellybean! (Bomb deploy)
