How to Play
Zigzag is a 3D-style path runner. The ball rolls along a narrow zigzag path — press Space to turn at corners and stay on the platform. Fall off the edge and the run ends.
Collect distance score as you survive longer paths and faster segments.
The ball is 10 units across on a 50-unit-wide path, which means you have roughly 40 units of lateral slack before you fall off. It advances 3 units per step in both axes, so every corner is a 45-degree turn and the same timing works at every junction — the difficulty comes from the path getting longer, not from the ball getting faster.
Your only input is the turn, so the game is really about recognising the corner one step before you reach it.
Controls
- Space — Turn at corners / start run
- Restart — New run
Tips & Tricks
- 1Turn slightly before the corner, not after you drift off
- 2Keep taps rhythmic — overcorrecting sends you off the path
- 3Focus on the next corner, not far-ahead bends
- 4Speed increases over time — stay calm
- 5The ball moves 3 units per step on both axes, so every corner is exactly 45 degrees — the timing that works once works every time
- 6With a 10-unit ball on a 50-unit path you have real margin; do not panic-turn at the first sign of drift
- 7Turning twice in quick succession flips you back to the original direction — if you mis-tap once, wait rather than trying to correct immediately
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the path random?
Yes. The path extends procedurally as you progress, so no two runs share a layout.
Can I pause?
No. Falling ends the run; restart to try again.
What kind of game is this?
It is a browser path runner controlled by single-button turns.
How wide is the path?
50 units, with a 10-unit ball — so you have about 40 units of room to drift before falling.
Does the ball speed up?
It moves at a steady 3 units per step. The challenge comes from the path itself rather than increasing speed.
What is the only control?
Space. One key turns the ball at corners and also starts the run.
