To eliminate Zoops, press a button on the controller.  This moves the ship forward, clearing any Zoops that match the color of the ship.  As soon as it hits a Zoop of the different color, the ship and zoop change colors.  In the example screenshot to the right, the ship clears the two red zoops, and then exchanges colors with purple. Clearing a zoop is worth 100 points, increasing by 100 points for each additional zoop you clear in a line.
