Trail Capture
Trail Capture is an area grab game. Your dot moves around a field, and the ground you have already claimed is safe. To claim more, cut a trail into the open area and loop back to safe ground. Enemies can cut a trail that is still open, so plan each loop carefully.
How to play
- Start on the claimed edge and move into the open area.
- Your trail stays open until you reach claimed ground again.
- Close the loop to fill in the area inside it.
- Keep away from enemies while your trail is open.
Controls
Desktop: Arrow keys to move. P pauses the game.
Phone and tablet: Best played with a keyboard. The game has no touch controls.
Tips
- Keep trails short when enemies are close by.
- Cut a big loop when the field is clear so you claim more in one go.
- Press P to pause and plan your next move.
