Zigzeus

You are the storm. Somewhere in the English countryside a quiet little village goes about its day. Not for long.

Draw lightning across the town - but lightning never goes straight: every segment must zigzag. Turn sharply, zig then zag, and thread your bolt through panicking crowds, cars, power lines and cottages. Time stands still while you draw; let go and the sky splits.

• Tap - a quick strike
• Press and drag - draw a zigzag bolt (turn sharply, alternate sides), release to strike
• 1 / 2 or the on-screen buttons - Ball Lightning and Mega Strike once unlocked
• Esc / P pause, M mute

Each storm is short. Chain hits for combos and zap the townsfolk into cartoon skeletons...

...set things on fire and flatten buildings with everyone hiding inside.

Every storm moves on to a fresh town: a village, then a market town, then a city. The townsfolk fight back with lightning rods that ground your bolts - only a Mega Strike knocks them down. Topple the town hall of a city to win.

• Charge ⚡ - from people and animals (cute skeletons, no gore)
• Ozone O₃ - from trees, cars, fences and other props
• Plasma ✦ - from buildings, town halls and lightning rods

Spend them between storms on the upgrade tree - longer bolts, more turns, chain lightning, downpours, fire, Ball Lightning and the Mega Strike.
