Gameplay
Trace is an addicting game. there are 6 worlds. In the levels, you have to draw lines to the little yellow star which will take you to the next level. So far it sounds easy. However, as you keep progressing. There are big shapes such as triangles, squares, and circles that are in your way. And they also move around. Sometimes you have to think about what you are going to do. You can get electrocuted to. There are these little pink thing which are difficult to see. And if you touch them well you have to restart over. Same goes for the shapes if they touch you, then you are restarting over. Some lines are already there and you can fill it in. Forgot to mention you can jump to.

Graphics
Graphics are horrible in this game. It looks like 5 year old made the game look like what it is. Anybody could easily draw whats in the game on a piece of paper. The character in the game is a stick figure. All shapes are different colors. There is no option to change the colors. Different worlds have different backgrounds. In the first world the background is blue. In the second world the background is the ocean. So instead of shapes there are fishes. In the third world the background is grass so there are clouds and flowers. The background in world 4 is green and there are math numbers. 5th world is a volcano and there is lava. last world is outer space and there are asteroids.

Controls
Controls easy to learn and can be unresponsive. There is a backwards button and forward button. When players try to hit a retry, it make a couple of taps to make it happen. This game is mainly for your fingers. Use your finger to draw lines and there is also an erasing option. Tap the jump button to jump. If you want to jump and go forward, use two fingers to hold down the jump button and forward. Same goes for going backwards and jumping.
