About Zig Zag
Zig Zag is a one-tap reflex game about rhythm and focus. A ball rolls along a narrow isometric path of floating tiles, and your only control is switching its direction between the two diagonals. The path twists without warning. There are long straights that tempt you to tap too early, quick double turns that need two fast taps, and tiles that crumble into the void the moment you pass them. The ball speeds up the further you go, so a calm run slowly becomes a frantic one. Collect pink gems for bonus points, string together perfect turns and keep rolling as long as you can. Rounds take seconds and restarts are instant, so there is always time for one more try.
