Trace Vector is a high speed action arcade game with puzzle elements. Featuring a modern take on vector style graphics, Trace Vector plays like an easy to learn, hard to master, game of the golden age of the 80′s video arcades. Race your space ship through each geometric level grabbing extra fuel cells along the way. Reach a viable goal to shatter the networks' hold on your ship and increase your speed. Simple controls keep you focused on navigating the increasingly complex webs at ever increasing speeds. Collect fuel cells and warp time to assist in the precision maneuvering needed to ace a level! Warping time quickly exhausts precious fuel. If you deplete your fuel and crash it's game over.
Hyperspace networks have hazards at every turn. Dead end paths, barriers, and worm holes that can send you back in time and space increase the danger; forcing you to think ahead and be prepared to deal with your previous route through the network. Hyperspace is a strange place. Go forth brave pilot. Keep your wits in order, escape the neon labyrinths, and scavenge enough fuel to return home safely.
Adventure Mode: A unique driving and evolving soundtrack designed for Trace Vector matches your progress through each of the twelve zones. Help Jason and his ship Aurora return to home planet by exploiting an ancient and hazardous hyper network! Your wits, reflexes, and rockin' tunes are your tools for survival in this high energy neon journey!
Endless Mode: Go for distance! A continuously generated high speed level spans before you as gain speed and avoid crashing! Pass the previously set high score markers and take over the high score board! No quarters are required to retry.

- Levels continuously increase in speed, danger, and complexity

Deceptively simple. Amazing sound track. addictive gameplay
The game really captures the X-Y (Vector) monitor aesthetic well, containing colorful, glowy, crisp vector lines and blinky points of light.
Quick reaction, cardinal direction gameplay.
Energetic and catchy soundtrack.
A solid package that's a blast to play!
It looks good but its too hard and it has a lot of unskipable stuff. Even if the game was slowed down, it would still be pretty repetitive and uninspired so really it just has the looks.
Great game. The artwork is awesome and the soundtrack fits perfectly.
This awesome game pits you against the classic enemy of deep space in your 70's style retro adventure to simply get home. This is an excellent game that is one of few that takes advantage of the old-school vector graphics that dominated arcade games from the 70s into the early 80s. I highly recommend it if you like fast-paced, old-school style games, especially if you can snag it on sale.
really fun game, seems to be best played with a controller, if you like the 80's beats you will really like this game.
A trifle of a game, but at the price they're asking well worth it. There's something hypnotic about playing it, and the soundtrack is absolutely insanely awesome
Great minigame, but the controls are fucked up i dont know if its just me but i cant change my name with any buttons whatsoever and the menu is just partly working as well...
A finely crafted challenge. Should you ever feel the game is kicking your ass too hard, you can count on the marvelous soundtrack to pump you up.
I absolutely love this! Ticks all the boxes for me:
- one of the best examples of a modern take on classic gaming values
- easy to learn, difficult to master
- beautiful simple visuals
- cracking soundtrack
More of these please!
A really great game that wonderfully conveys its aesthetic. Great level design, good difficulty curve, fantastic presentation, great music, and a tightly defined scope make this an easy recommendation.
This game is a 1980s arcade classic that never was.
Incredibly simple gameplay, all you basically do is make sure your 'ship' follows the correct line by moving it using the up or down arrow at the correct time. As you progress through the levels the speed increases so you will need machine-like reflexes to keep up... or just use the handy space bar to termporarily slow down time.
Every time you die it's because you made a mistake, nothing cheap about it.
Graphics are minimal but provide the perfect feel. You can even toggle a CRT mode along with different levels of glow in the options, to make it look even more authentic.
And the music... oh man. Pefect 80s synth sound that is 100% matched to the game's levels and keeps you pumped. It's almost worth a recommendation just for that.
The game is split up in smaller level segments so you can play in somewhat brief burts, but also has an endless mode that is just that: you keep playing as long as your reflexes allow you to.
If you like old-style arcade games, or, more to the point, modern recreations of these like the excellent Bit.Trip series, you will also love Trace Vector.
Saw this game at MAGFest13 had really liked it. Picked it up on steam today. Having a blast! Thanks! :D
Endless Runner/Puzzle game with a simple gameplay mechanic that brings your reflexes to their limit. Puts a heavy emphasis on Vectrex-like aesthetics and has a KILLER 80s Arcade-sounding score. Hella addictive! Neat! Awesome!
I would have lost a lot of money on a Trace Vector machine...
I have just started to play and i already love it.
The graphics, the music, it's all made really nicely.
Similar in idea to other game i love Super Hexagon, it goes beyond the static gameplay and make it moving.
It could use some more hardcore settings (ie. difficulty levels, no preview mode, random mode etc).
Overall it's a really fun game I recommend to my gamer friends.
Unique and cool game. Never seen anything like it. It is interesting and fun. 10/10
Great game, very simplistic and easy to understand. However don't be fooled the game is quite challenging. Decent soundtrack. An excelent pick for any MAME/Arcade cabinet..
HOLY CRAP THE MUSIC RULES
Also: Vector graphics +++ Woot
Somewhat nice looking, but boring as boring can be. Rewind should just get you back in time a bit, not back at the beginning of the level... No saves between stages.
An excellent throwback to '80's arcade machines, this game is fast, furious, and /incredibly/ challenging. Not for the faint of heart, even veteran gamers will stopped dead without focus, practice, and very quick reflexes. I highly recommend this intense audiovisual experience, but only if you think you're up for it. If you're not good at twitch reflex and aren't willing to spend a long time practicing, this game is not for you.
