Ziggy Road — zigzag ball on a sky track, free online
Ziggy Road is one decision repeated at increasing speed: turn now, or turn a fraction later. The track zigzags away beneath you and the ball never slows down.
How to play
The ball moves on its own along an aerial path. Change its direction at each bend to stay on the track — mistime the input and it rolls straight off the edge.

Tips & tactics
01Turn on the corner, not before it. Early turns walk you off the inside edge.
02Find the rhythm and stop watching — the bends are evenly spaced.
03Speed climbs steadily. Expect to need a faster cadence every twenty turns or so.
04If you lose the rhythm, look further ahead rather than at the ball.
About Ziggy Road
Ziggy Road is a classic zigzag arcade game: an aerial track, a single input and a score that is simply how far you got.
It is one of the shortest games on the site to learn and one of the hardest to hold a long run in.
