Zig Zag
The game idea was inspired by Terry Cavanagh's "Super Hexagon". The song is Quazar's "Funky Stars".
My best time is 02:13, see if you can get more!
The game was released on Sep 1, 2016. The devlog is here.
Also available on the Play Store for free.

i don't understand the controls at all, but otherwise fine game i guess?
Just left and right on the arrow keys (for me at least)
The controls can get weird but if you play enough you might get used to it like I did.
my best: 1:34
very good game, i can see clear inspiration from super hexagon
i think something novel like this is pretty good, and i enjoyed playing it
i do enjoy seeing the quotes (that only appear after around 8 seconds) after dying. it's giving getting over it from bennett foddy.
i guess i'll suggest some qol stuff:
1.
there should be a timer somewhere to know how far you're inthe... one level.turns out it is visible... in the version of the game in downloads.2. music volume slider. it's a bit too loud yeah
1:02 on my first attempt after understanding the controls lmao, took like 10mins to beat it tho (got 1:07), i think having played super hexagon prob helps me somewhat
cool
(also itchio let me upload imgs from clipboard without giving me an error when)
It isnt on google play anymore, any idea where i can get the APK file? I really, really badly wish to play this
Sorry man, this was so long ago. I think Android and the Play Store have changed enough that making the game work again would take me awhile. Maybe just play online instead.
I don't play things online because one day they'll disappear and i dont want to need to cope with losing things just because they're only available online ðŸ«
You can download the archive and open the index.html then you can run it with some apps
absolutely loving this game
6 Minutes and 28 Seconds. Not that hard, just spamm in a patern ( Left Left Right Left Right Right Left Left Left Right Right Left Right Right ) This one worked totaly fine, even if i speeded the game up to the point i couln't see.
no?
sometimes u get right three times
fun fact: if you press the up button multiple times the game will get faster for a EXTRA challenge if you're...somehow really good at this game
You made a grammar mistake, it was supposed to be a(n) EXTRA challenge, not a Extra challenge,
Also, the "..." was supposed to be before the if in "if you're". The more you know.
stfu no one gives a shit
17 seconds!!!
Dear Vlad,
I accidentally sawed off my left arm while playing. Please reimburse.
Best,

I MADE IT TO 12 SECONDS
this kewl
I discovered this game long ago and have been addicted ever since. One time I was walking across a bridge, laptop in hand, playing the game. All of a sudden some IDIOT bumped into me and I dropped my laptop over the bridge. I was furious but could think of nothing else but to jump after it. I needed to beat my highscore. While in mid air i mistakenly hit left instead of right, ending my run. i was devastated and heartbroken. Seconds later upon impact I broke all of the limbs in my body and suffered severe brain damage. Now I cant play anymore and my life has no meaning. Overall decent game 7/10
Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!! I know you will be playing again in no time girly <3
What dedication gotta get some respect for this guy
I have not been able to eat, sleep or think since the discovery of this game. All I live for is the dopamine hit of 10 seconds of playing. This has destroyed friendships, relationships, and my GPA. I warn anyone embarking on this glorious yet foul journey. Ask yourself: What is glory?
Thanks for this insight elly!
Bro same. After 6 months of playing at least 8 hours a day I have finally beat my 30 second record. It has cost me a lot too, but days like today make it all worth it. Godspeed all #roadtooneminute
My mother always told me: whatever you are, be a good one. I've meandered through mindless jobs, pointless hobbies, and expensive schooling only to find that no endeavor suits my inescapable black sheep nature. Until I discovered your creation, Vladimir. Nothing inspires me to improve and become my best self quite like the pure survival of zigs and zags. Sooner or later, this godsend will take me into an even darker place on the outside world. But until then, I'll be here. #bettertoburnoutthanfadeaway
Very great game !
Quazar is now professionally known as Axwell, a Swedish house musician (that's 11 years ago).
what am i supposed to do
Had a battle with my brother. Beating the other one's record.
We started with ~30-40s were our first runs. 1min seemed impossible at that moment. I was very proud, when I managed 1:10. Then he managed 1:12 or something. Then I got to 1:13 and suddenly 1:20. I felt safe.
Then suddenly he comes up with statistics in an excel, which types of curves kill him the most and an astonishing 1:30. 1:30 felt too far, like I could never reach that. But after 5-10h of playtime stretched over one week I finally managed 1:31.
What really helped: Don't focus your eyes, keep them unfocussed, more or less in the center. Don't rush it, keep the white line near the middle, no need to keep it at the border of your screen.
This game is very addicting and has a really, really high production value!

Vladimirslepnev Zig Zag game not available on Google play store can i have apk file of it
its just stuck loading on the menu :|
cute :)
how am i supposed to know which way to go? im going the way the path goes but it says its wrong.
Really cool.
Controls were a bit confusing for me. I think there's two reasons for it:
1. the sign "press left, up, right" is not visible enough (and there's nothing in the itch description too)
2.At first, I thought the game was meant to be played with the mouse, because: when I clicked, the game started, and wen I clicked again, it counted as "go left" and the game kept going. So I was like. "okay I'm supposed to click on the left or right side of the line and it didn't work. I had to look on the comment where you explained to get it :')
The game is looking cool, and it's pretty fun. Good work on this ! :) Super challenging too, haha ! I like that.
Any plans for a global leaderboard?
I'm thinking about it. Not sure what to do about cheaters though, because cheating in a JS game is very easy.
Yup, this got me up to 6:13. Reducing the interval would improve it:
setInterval(() => { if (interpIndex < 10) handleMove(path[pathIndex + 1] - path[pathIndex]); }, 100);
Wow this is really fun. On par with super hexagon. A few more song choices would be nice however.
Thanks! I'm always looking for other songs to add. Funky Stars sets a pretty high bar though :-)
Maybe if I understood how to actually play
Press left or right to choose which way the line should go next, from the perspective of the line. For example, when the line is pointing up, left goes left and right goes right. When the line is pointing down, right goes left and left goes right.
This is my new jam

Come on man, you can do better than that. I just did 34 sec on a frigging trackpad.
