Trace is a calm, one-tap game about drawing your way around a circle. You're a little mark racing around a hand-drawn ring, leaving an inky trail behind you. Fill the loop to finish the level — but watch out for everything scattered across the paper. A single tap makes you hop; tap again in the air for a second jump. That's the whole game. Easy to pick up, hard to put down. Every screen looks like it was sketched in pencil in the corner of a notebook — soft paper, wobbly ink lines, and obstacles made of everyday stationery. What you'll run into: Books that block your path — hop right over them Red pencils that roll the other way Rulers that swing back and forth Ink blots that swell and shrink Push-pins, paper clips, erasers and more Features: 60 handcrafted levels across themed chapters One-tap controls — playable with a single thumb Double jump for those tricky moments A gentle learning curve with friendly tips for each new obstacle Warm, minimal, hand-drawn art — black ink on cream paper No timers stressing you out, no score to chase — just trace the ring and go Relaxing haptics that make every hop feel good No clutter. No pressure. Just you, a pencil line, and a ring to complete. Trace it. Fill it. Move on.
