Cute animals. Tiny planets. One rule: do not touch the fruit. Juicy Trail is a party game about nerve. You race around a small tropical world and everywhere you go you leave a trail of fruit behind you. So does everybody else. Touch any trail — theirs or your own — and you are out. Last one still running wins the round. The planets are round, which changes everything. There are no walls to hug and no corners to hide in. A trail you left thirty seconds ago is waiting for you on the other side of the world, and the gap you are aiming for is over a horizon you cannot see past. SIX ANIMALS, SIX WAYS TO CHEAT Every animal has one trick, and each one changes what you dare to do. MOKO hurls a banana far ahead — a wall that lands where somebody else is already going. TANGO sprints, but turning gets harder the faster it goes. KAZOO glides, and trails pass harmlessly underneath. GLOOP leaps enormous distances, and lands on people. DOZER belly-flops, and every screen in the game gets a faceful of water. BAO barges straight through a trail and scatters fruit everywhere. PLAY HOW YOU LIKE Alone against bots that genuinely play — they look ahead, cut you off, and take the win if you let them. Online with strangers: one tap for a quick match, and a countdown that always ends in a four-player game. Online with friends: share a four-letter room code and they are in. NO ACCOUNTS, NO SIGN-UP There is no login, no email and no password. Pick a name, pick an animal, play. Your record is kept on your own phone and goes nowhere else. Seven planets. Six animals with different powers. Rounds that last about a minute and arguments that last longer.
