Endless Runner/Puzzle game with a simple gameplay mechanic that brings your reflexes to their limit. Puts a heavy emphasis on Vectrex-like aesthetics and has a KILLER 80s Arcade-sounding score. Hella addictive! Neat! Awesome! I would have lost a lot of money on a Trace Vector machine...
This game is a 1980s arcade classic that never was. Incredibly simple gameplay, all you basically do is make sure your 'ship' follows the correct line by moving it using the up or down arrow at the correct time. As you progress through the levels the speed increases so you will need machine-like reflexes to keep up... or just use the handy space bar to termporarily slow down time. Every time you die it's because you made a mistake, nothing cheap about it. Graphics are minimal but provide the perfect feel. You can even toggle a CRT mode along with different levels of glow in the options, to make it look even more authentic. And the music... oh man. Pefect 80s synth sound that is 100% matched to the game's levels and keeps you pumped. It's almost worth a recommendation just for that. The game is split up in smaller level segments so you can play in somewhat brief burts, but also has an endless mode that is just that: you keep playing as long as your reflexes allow you to. If you like old-style arcade games, or, more to the point, modern recreations of these like the excellent Bit.Trip series, you will also love Trace Vector.
[u]Summary[/u] Wow very space much fast amaze [u]Detailed Review[/u] Don't let the screenshots fool you that this is boring. This game is a wonderful 80s throwback that is creative for its design and gameplay, and is something that can only be experienced when playing yourself. Granted, this game can be daunting for people with bad reflexes, but if you give this game a chance, you may be in one hell of a ride. And then there's the music. It's fantastic. I'm one that normally doesn't care for 80s music, but its soundtrack alone is more than enough for a buy. The soundtrack and SFX really help make this game feel alive, where without it, this game would be somewhat, if not, completely a drag, especially for a game that's heavily music influenced. I had my settings for the bloom and luminosity effect high to the point where I felt I was enjoying the most of what this game had to offer me. Not too high though, just high enough. (Your eyes will bleed if you max out settings.) Personally, I think getting the right brightness and the right bloom will really help you have a great time with this game. So that said, two thumbs up on my end. But as for the price? I'll let you justify if buying at full price is well worth it. At this time of the review, it's $6.99, and I personally would say to wait on this to go on a sale. (But then again, I'm [b]always[/b] about looking for sales.) I got this game with a bundle of 8 other games for $5 overall, so it's like I only spent $0.56 on this game. But seeing how great this game played, I would be more than happy to spend even $4 on this game alone. All in all, when you can get this game, it's worth giving a shot. Especially for retro enthusiasts.
Unique and cool game. Never seen anything like it. It is interesting and fun. 10/10
Nice game, a little difficult but its fine. Soundtrack is good too.
Simple game, simple graphics. Seems more like a mobile game. The basics of the game play are basically a giant QuickTimeEvent. Press the direction you want to go and avoid dead-ends while collecting fuel. Most comments are praising the music but I didn't find it to be anything special. The vector style is interesting but something about it looks wrong, I'm not sure how to describe it, it doesn't seem centered. I do like the options though to increase blur, line size, and even the CRT mode (Don't have one, but still interesting to see it). The whole game strives to be something, but it doesn't seem to know what. It's overly plain and I find that to be its biggest downfall in what could have be a quirky game. TL:DR Gameplay is extremely repetitive. If you really have to, wait for a sale that puts this at mobile game prices.

非常好的小游戏 简单好玩 背景音乐让你觉得更好玩 音乐劲爆
arcade games where you have to replay entire sets of levels with unskippable scenes are slightly annoying. otherwise, a solid arcade game.
