About ZigZag Car
Zigzag Car is an endless arcade action game. You drive your unstoppable car on the most difficult zigzag tracks and collect money to upgrade your car.
How to play ZigZag Car
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Drive and steer |
| Spacebar | Brake |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. ZigZag Car does not — it is playable from the first second. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
