Hold to tuck and fly fast — release to brake, duck under branches and rocks. Three hits ends the run!
How to play Zipline Zoom
How to play
Zipline Zoom is an endless canyon ride on a zip line strung through the jungle. You are clipped to the cable and sliding forward on autopilot — your job is managing speed and posture. Hold down to tuck into a streamlined ball: you pick up serious speed and your score climbs much faster, but you are locked in a tall, vulnerable stance. Release to sit up and brake, trading speed for control. Low-hanging branches and jagged rock outcrops swing into your path from both above and below, and the only way past them is to duck — which also scrubs off speed. Golden stars drift along the line for bonus points. Every run gets faster the further you ride, and three smacks into obstacles ends the trip.
Controls
- Hold to tuck / speed up: press and hold Space, your mouse button, or your finger on the game area.
- Release to brake: let go to sit up and slow down.
- Duck under obstacles: hold the Down arrow, swipe down on the game area, or hold the 🦆 DUCK button. Ducking slows you down a little — you cannot tuck and duck at the same time.
- Press Start Riding to begin and Ride Again for an instant retry.
Tips
- Speed through the open stretches and brake before an obstacle reaches you — ducking at full speed is possible, but the reaction window is tiny.
- Watch the cable ahead, not the rider: obstacles scroll in from the right, and spotting a branch early lets you release and duck smoothly.
- After a hit you get brief invincibility and a speed penalty — use the slow moment to line up your next duck instead of panicking back to full tuck.
- Stars are usually placed right on the safe line through or around obstacles, so chasing them doubles as a guide to where you should be.
Scoring
Your score is distance travelled times speed: every frame you slide adds points at a rate that grows with your speedometer reading, so tucking through open canyon is where the big numbers come from. Each star is worth a flat 50 points. The run ends when you take three hits — your longest distance is saved in your browser as your best, and every new ride is a duel against it.
