ZigZag
Guide a rolling ball along a narrow isometric path that crumbles behind you. Tap to switch direction, chain perfect corner turns, grab gems and unlock new balls.
ZigZag is a one-button arcade game about rhythm and nerve. A glossy ball rolls along a narrow isometric path of floating tiles, and every tap flips its direction between the two diagonals. Miss a corner and the ball tumbles into the pastel void. The tiles you leave behind drop away, the background slowly shifts through soft colors, and each turn plays a note from a gentle pentatonic scale, so a good run sounds almost like music.
Every turn is worth a point and every gem is worth two. Turn right on the center of a corner tile for a PERFECT bonus, and keep a streak of five perfect turns alive for a five-point reward. The path starts calm with long straight runs, then the ball speeds up and the straights get shorter as your score climbs. Every few dozen points you enter a new zone with a fresh color theme and a faster pace. Gems you collect are banked between runs and unlock seven different ball styles, ending with a shimmering rainbow ball.
ZigZag suits anyone who wants a quick, relaxing yet focused endless game on a phone or desktop. Tip: watch the tiles ahead rather than the ball itself, and tap a fraction early on fast straights, since perfect timing on corners pays off far more than chasing far-off gems.
How to play
The ball rolls forward on its own. Tap, click or press Space to switch between the two diagonal directions and stay on the path; rolling off the edge ends the run. Each turn scores 1 point, each gem 2. Turning right on the center of a corner tile earns a PERFECT bonus point, and every 5 perfect turns in a row adds 5 more. The game speeds up as your score rises and new zones begin. Gems are saved between runs and unlock new balls.
