Trace Vector

Trace Vector is a high-speed arcade action game with puzzle elements. You guide a spaceship through geometric levels in hazardous hyperspace networks, collecting fuel cells and reaching a viable goal to break the network’s hold on your ship and increase its speed. The levels grow faster and more complex, so you need to plan your route and react quickly.

Navigate the network

Dead ends, barriers and wormholes can disrupt your route. Wormholes may send you back through time and space, while the line you have already travelled becomes another obstacle. You can spend fuel to slow time and make precise manoeuvres, but time-warping quickly uses up that fuel. If you run out and crash, the game ends.

Game modes

Adventure Mode follows Jason and his ship Aurora as they try to return to their home planet through an ancient, dangerous hyper network. It spans 12 zones, each accompanied by a driving soundtrack that evolves as you progress.

Endless Mode generates a continuous high-speed level where you try to travel as far as possible without crashing. You can pass previously set high-score markers, and retries do not require quarters. Expert Mode unlocks mirrored levels with a faster and more demanding rule set.

Scores and presentation

High-score tables track runs in each zone and let you review them to see where you can improve your scores. The game uses vector-style graphics with adjustable effect levels, and its soundtrack changes as you advance through levels.
