ZX Series

The ZX Series is a growing collection of connected retro-inspired arcade games created by BarkinMad Studios.

Play across multiple ZX games, build your progress, unlock rewards, and keep chasing higher scores as the series continues to grow.

Earn BarkinMad Coins, unlock achievements, compete on leaderboards, and challenge friends through local and online PVP modes.

The ZX Series brings together a collection of retro-inspired arcade games designed for iPhone and iPad. Every game is easy to pick up and play while offering modern features such as achievements, leaderboards, localisation, multiplayer, and shared progression.

Inspired by the golden age of arcade gaming and classic home computers, the series captures the fast-paced, score-chasing gameplay that made those games memorable while adapting it for today's mobile devices.

Current titles include ZXSnake, ZXBrick, ZXSpace, and ZXPong, with more games planned as the series continues to expand.

• Shared achievements
• Shared leaderboards
• BarkinMad Coins
• World PVP
• Local PVP
• Cross-game progression
• Game Center integration
• Multi-language support
• Retro-inspired visuals
• Modern mobile gameplay

Supported ZX Series games, including ZXSnake, ZXBrick, ZXSpace, and ZXPong, share achievements, leaderboards, BarkinMad Coins, multiplayer systems, and future cross-game features.

The ZX Series is designed as a connected gaming experience rather than a collection of separate titles. Shared systems allow players to build progress, earn rewards, unlock achievements, and compare scores across multiple games.

As new games are released, they benefit from the same proven foundation, including wallet support, achievements, leaderboards, localisation, Game Center integration, and multiplayer features.

It's ideal for short arcade sessions where anyone can pick up and play.

Local PVP: Challenge friends and family on the same local network for fast, competitive multiplayer matches.

World PVP extends the competition beyond your local network, allowing players to compete online from different locations.

As the ZX Series grows, online multiplayer will continue to evolve alongside every new release.

Roadmap

The ZX Series roadmap focuses on expanding both the number of games and the shared systems that connect them.

Released games provide the foundation, titles currently in development continue to grow the ecosystem, and future games will introduce new arcade experiences while building on the same connected platform.

Live:

• ZXSnake
• ZXBrick

In Development:

• ZXPong
• ZXSpace

Planned:

• ZXMaze
• ZXLabrador
• ZXRacer
• ZXTanks

ZXSpace and ZXPong represent the next stage of the ZX Series.

ZXSpace is a fast-paced arcade space shooter featuring enemy waves, power-ups, score chasing, achievements, and shared progression.

ZXPong reimagines the arcade classic with AI opponents, multiplayer, achievements, and connected ZX Series features.

Future ZX Series titles will explore new arcade-inspired gameplay styles while continuing to build on the shared systems that connect every game.

Current plans include ZXMaze, ZXRacer, ZXTank, and ZXLabrador, with dedicated pages added as development progresses.

The ZX Series was created to combine the simplicity of classic arcade games with the features players expect from modern mobile gaming.

Fast gameplay, clear objectives, replayability, achievements, leaderboards, multiplayer, and shared progression all work together to create games that are easy to learn but rewarding to master.

Every title is designed to stand on its own while contributing to a larger connected arcade ecosystem.

Rather than treating every game as a separate experience, the ZX Series encourages players to build progress across the collection.

Earn rewards, unlock achievements, compare scores, and carry your progress between supported games.

Every new release strengthens the ecosystem, giving players more reasons to return and discover something new.
