KanyeZone is a new, extremely addictive, interactive game. The objective of KanyeZone is simple: using your keypad and space bar to block Kanye’s moving head from entering the purple circle in the middle of the screen, also known as “the zone.” When you successfully bounce Kanye away with your piece (the smaller blue circle,) dollar signs explode on the screen and your cash flow increases.
Not only is this game extremely fun, it’s also so funny. When you are winning the game, the lyrics, “don’t let me into my zone” from Kanye and Jay-Z’s song 'N***** in Paris' are repeated over and over again. However, when you lose, the lyrics change to “I’m definitely in my zone,” the zone transitions from blue to red, and Jay-Z’s head appears as well.
KanyeZone can be considered a competitive game, as hourly scores, top scores, and your own best score are shown on the right panel. The left side includes the instructions and your current cash flow.
