Tricky Tracks

tl;dr - fun hide&seek game, lovely developers, great demo available! This is a very fun multiplayer game. I highly recommend bringing your friends along for the ride. The fact that the demo is basically a fully functional game in itself makes Tricky Tracks so much more accessible and I'm happy the developers decided to keep it around. As other reviewers have already said, the couple developing Tricky Tracks are lovely people and regularly stream coding sessions and their development of new maps on Twitch, encouraging their viewers and players to give them input and feedback. So, if the demo manages to convince you, consider supporting this game by buying the Early Access version. It is everything the demo promises and more!

A perfect game for an online party of 4+ people. Have been playing the demo before the release. So, what this game is about? 1. One team is hiding (the runners), another one is chasing (the seekers). 2. The hiding team tries it's best to hide and to avoid being detected. Once detected, they run! You can rewind your position or jump in a smart way to avoid being caught. 3. The seekers team tries to outsmart the hiding team. It's always great to communicate on how to approach a runner toghether. 4. Multiple lovely hand-created maps with various themes: kitchen, industrial, dwarwen, old London.

Finally I know how it feels if someone is searching you while playing hide-and-seek =D. But its not only about hide-and-seek. You also have different abilities which allows to play different strategies. So even if the seeker things that "he got you" - with the help of abilities you still have the chance to escape. I first went with practice mode and found the controls + icons pretty intuitive ... and freeked out when the seeker suddenly appeared (didn't expect that the bot would find me there - but kudos that she did!) I actually follow this game since longer because the devs are streaming their progress on twitch. Both are really entertaining and we - the community - are also able to bring in ideas and support. Therefor: Because I could see how the game evolving I knew that I will enjoy the game :-)

Super fun game. Especially fun in a larger group with friends. The different maps bring variety and are creatively designed. And the best thing is that there are CUCUMBERS.

Servers don't work

Tricky Tracks is a new take on the hide and seek (often also called "prop hunt") genre. The team of seekers has to find and catch the team of runners in a variety of different family friendly scenarios. The most unique part of Tricky Tracks is that the runners leave a trail of footprints that decay over time but also allow the runners to follow them to their creators ;). Each of the teams has different set of skills at their disposal to find runners (e.g. a scan for nearby runners or a trap to trap props) or to escape from the seekers (e.g. revert time and lay down fake tracks). Especially with a few friends or community members it's a lot of fun and every match will be different. The game is actively in development and the developers stream their weekly progress on their twitch channels. If you're still on the fence about Tricky Tracks, there is a very exhaustive demo available that is even compatible with the early access (full version).

This game is great

Lovely Hid-and-Seek game with a lot of love for details. Each map has their own seekers and runners, making each a unique experience. The maps themselves differ quite a bit: from a lived-in kitchen to an ancient dwarven forge, so clearly the developers put a lot of effort into this. This is still Early Access but really fun, I'm excited how it will develop from here!
