Growing Trail
Steer a glowing comet that never stops moving. Enemies that touch your neon trail explode, so loop around them, chain combos and collect stars to grow an ever longer tail.
Growing Trail is a neon arena arcade game where your tail is your only weapon. Your comet always flies forward and leaves a glowing cyan trail behind it. Red spiky enemies chase you from every edge of the arena, and any enemy that brushes against your trail bursts into sparks. Touch an enemy with the comet itself, though, and you lose one of your three hearts.
The trail starts short, so early on you weave close to enemies and let them run into the line behind you. Each star you pick up adds a big chunk of length and fifty points, and every kill grows the trail a little more. Killing several enemies in quick succession builds a combo multiplier worth up to ten times the base points. Over time enemies spawn faster, move quicker and appear in larger numbers, so the arena turns from calm to chaotic within a couple of minutes.
This is a great pick for players who love snake-style steering, swirling arena action and chasing a high score. Tip: draw wide circles around a crowd instead of fleeing in a straight line. Enemies home in on you, so a loop pulls them straight into your trail for a huge combo.
How to play
Your comet moves forward on its own; steer it around the arena. Enemies that touch your trail are destroyed for points, and quick kills build a combo. Stars give 50 points and make your trail much longer. Colliding with an enemy costs a heart, and the run ends when all three are gone.
