Controls --------- - MFI gamepad compatible. - Gamepad on screen. Pad -> player moves , Button -> Enemy jumps. The Game ----------- CrazyTracer is a fast-paced arcade game inspired by the classic , combining territory capturing, path strategy, and intense enemy avoidance. In the odd-numbered levels, you control a gorilla that must eat all the dots spread across the maze. Every time you complete all the dots around a closed perimeter, the enclosed area is automatically filled. The challenge grows as enemies relentlessly patrol the paths, forcing you to carefully plan every move. In the even-numbered levels, gameplay changes completely: you control a paintbrush and your objective is to paint the borders of the maze areas. Once all the borders of a section are painted, the entire area becomes filled. However, there is an important rule โ€” you cannot continue painting beyond the next adjacent area that already contains paint, adding a strategic puzzle element to the action. Between levels, players enter a bonus stage where they must choose the correct path to guide the pig toward a bunch of bananas. Picking the wrong route means losing the reward, so memory and intuition become essential. To survive the increasing difficulty, players have access to three jumps that allow enemies to leap over them while safely passing underneath. Timing these jumps correctly can mean the difference between survival and defeat. When the four corner areas of the maze are completely filled, the player gains a temporary power-up that allows him to chase and eat enemies for a limited time, turning the tables in classic arcade fashion. With its dual gameplay mechanics, strategic movement, and retro-inspired arcade spirit, CrazyTracer delivers a fresh and challenging reinterpretation of a legendary maze-action formula.
