Review: Zig Zag – React, Respond, Repeat. Quickly!

The awesome team at Ketchapp are back with their latest masterpiece; Zig Zag another very simple yet highly addictive game that would absorb you for hours if you dare have a go at it! Since last year Ketchapp has mobile gamers hooked onto 2 Cars which is a test of multitasking skills, endurance, concentration and more importantly holding the device steady for extended periods of time. We wouldn't be surprised if it made players ambidextrous after a few months. So what does Zig Zag have to offer? you might ask! Simply put Zig Zag extends Ketchapp's clean and simple design elements to offer players another unique and fun way to test their reflexes. Players are entrusted to guide a rolling ball through a very jagged narrow patch collecting rubies along the way for extra points. The idea is to keep going for as long as you can set the highest score for others to beat. Scoring is done on the basis of distance travelled and rubies collected. Each Ruby collected adds an additional 2 points to the total score helping you accumulate points quicker. Zig Zag is more of a hand eye coordination test which requires you to tap quickly to prevent the ball from rolling off but its not all just quick tapping. Players have to be careful and carefully watch the random pathway, there isn't a set pattern that one can follow or get attuned to! Each run is different and requires precision. To make matters interesting as if it already wasn't challenging enough, the pathway keeps changing color which is a big distraction. It confuses your mind, forcing it to process both ends of the spectrum, try maintaing concentration as colors change from bright yellow to shocking pink. Our verdict: Zig Zag is a highly addictive, unique and well crafted title. It should have no difficulty keeping players engaged as it offers the perfect amount of challenge.
