Our take on Trace Vector
Fuel doubles as a tactical resource and a time-slowing tool, forcing each run to balance precision maneuvering against the cost of creating more reaction time.
What is Trace Vector?
Trace Vector is a high-speed action arcade game with puzzle elements and vector-style graphics.
Players guide a space ship through geometric hyperspace networks, collect fuel cells, avoid barriers, dead ends, wormholes, and the ship’s previous route, then reach goals to progress. Fuel can be spent to slow time, but running out causes a crash and ends the game. Adventure Mode follows Jason and the Aurora through twelve zones with an evolving soundtrack. Endless Mode generates a continuous level for distance runs and high-score attempts. Levels become faster, more dangerous, and more complex. Expert Mode adds mirrored levels and a faster rule set. Simple directional controls guide the ship through each network.
