About

ZedZapper

Features
Read full description

Climb. Time it. Survive the zeds. ZedZapper is a one-tap arcade climber. Ten red lines stand between you and the top — and the only way up is through the gaps sliding across them. Tap at the right moment to leap through; mistime it and you're stunned. But you're not alone up there. The zeds patrol the lines, and one touch leaves you frozen while the gaps drift away beneath you. Tilt your phone to slide left and right, line up your jump, and punch through to the next line. Every level adds more gaps, more zeds, and more speed. How high can you climb? • Pure one-tap + tilt controls — easy to pick up, tough to master • 10 lines of escalating chaos per level • Dodge the zeds, ride the gaps, beat your best • Quick runs, perfect for one more try
