About Zlap.io
A ball hangs from a chain attached to your character, and it swings along with your movement. You can't aim directly; you need to use momentum instead.
Hitting a rival with your ball eliminates them, but if their ball touches you, the same thing happens to you. That's why distance and turning speed decide everything.
Why kids love this game
The swinging ball gives a real sense of physics, and matches are short. Winning comes down to skill.
Is this game safe for kids?
Yes. Being eliminated just means starting over; there's no blood or disturbing content.

๐ก Tips & Tricks
- Approach while turning: going straight leaves your ball trailing behind, circling as you approach swings it out in front
- Keep your distance: closing in without knowing your rival's chain length means getting eliminated before you can use your own ball
- Save the boost for escaping: keep it not for attacking, but for getting out of your rival's ball range
- Stay away from crowds: getting caught between two rivals means being exposed to both their balls at once
- Slow down once you're big: a bigger ball swings in a wider arc, so sudden turns will cost you control
