Comet Trail
Steer a glowing comet, collect stars and grow your trail without hitting the walls or yourself.
How to play
- Steer the comet with the arrow keys or WASD, or swipe on the board. On phones there is also an on-screen pad.
- Collect stars to grow your trail and score a point each. The comet speeds up as you grow.
- In Walls mode the edges are deadly. In Wrap mode you reappear on the opposite side.
- The run ends if you hit a wall (Walls mode) or your own trail. Press P or Space to pause. Best scores are saved separately for each mode.
Tips and strategy
- Hug the walls while the trail is short and keep the middle open for turns later.
- Plan your turn one move early; the game queues up to two turns so quick double-turns work.
- Fill the board in a snaking pattern once you are long so you never trap yourself.
- Wrap mode is more forgiving: use the edges as shortcuts to reach far stars.
FAQ
- Does the game pause if I switch tabs?
- Yes. It pauses automatically when the tab is hidden so you do not lose a run.
- Can I reverse direction?
- No. A direct reversal is ignored, because it would run the comet into its own trail.
