About this game
Zipline Zoe is about carrying speed: slopes, dash pads and springs build it, and a loop only works if Zoe hits it fast enough. She carries parcels instead of a health bar, so a hit scatters them and you can grab some back.
Goal: Reach the goal at the end of each zone with as many parcels as possible, beating the drone to the depot and finishing under the par time for bonus points.
Zipline Zoe is an original speed platformer built for the browser in the style of 1980s arcade cabinets: pixel art, a chiptune soundtrack and CRT scanlines, all generated in code. It is free, has no ads and needs no download or account.
What’s inside
- 3 zones: Orchard Ridge, Rust Canyon and Neon Skyport
- A Hay Baler chase, plus the Drill Rig and Hauler bosses
- Time Attack for any single zone, with best times saved
- Enemies: beetles, snails, hornets and pods that lob shots
- Players
- 1 player
- On a phone
- A D-pad appears at the bottom left and a Jump button at the bottom right; tapping open space also jumps, and the pause button is at the bottom centre.
- Round length
- Each zone takes about 1-3 minutes; a full run of all three zones takes 5-10 minutes.
Tips
- Roll with Down while running to flatten enemies and knock away pod shots; snails can only be beaten by rolling, not stomping.
- Zoe starts with 5 parcels, and a hit only costs a life if she is carrying none, so pick up loose parcels quickly after a hit.
- Hit loops with real speed, from a dash pad or a downhill run, or Zoe will fall out partway round.
Questions
How do I beat the bosses in Zipline Zoe?
Stomp them from above three times. Each hit is worth 300 points and the final one adds 2,000. The Hauler can only be reached when it dips low.
Is there a time attack mode?
Yes. Press T on the title screen, or tap the Time Attack text on a phone, then pick a zone. You have unlimited lives and your best time for each zone is saved.
