Details

Overview

/trace is a vibrant and chaotic 2D combat racing game developed and published by flowty.dev.

It strips down racing to its core: always moving forward, with simple directional choices. The objective is simple yet brutal: acquire points while avoiding any form of pain, and embrace a philosophy of total annihilation for your opponents.

This game is designed for maximum local multiplayer revelry, supporting up to 8 players simultaneously.

Highlights

Core Gameplay: Players navigate a 2D space, always moving forward, with the ability to turn left or right. The goal is to score points and survive.
Local Multiplayer Focus: Supports up to 8 players locally, with flexible controller options including sharing controllers, turning devices sideways, and even using smartphones over a LAN connection.
Customizable Chaos: Features highly configurable game rules, extremely irritating bot opponents for solo or mixed play, and a unique fully monophonic sound design.

Who It's For

This game is perfect for players who enjoy fast-paced, competitive local multiplayer experiences with a minimalist aesthetic. If you're looking for a party game that's easy to pick up but offers surprising depth through its rule customization and chaotic action, /trace will deliver.

It’s also a great choice for those who appreciate unique audio design and a no-holds-barred approach to competition.
