Blazing Trails is my remake of an old 8-bit classic Trailblazer. The rules are very simple: you control a ball which you must guide through a series of complex tracks, strewn with obstacles and traps, all this whilst locked in a pitched battle against the clock!
Updated!
Tiles:
(graphics by John Blythe)
here's a brief description of the 3 most common tiles from the wood levels, I'll leave you to discover the rest..

Jump Tile
When the ball rolls over this tile it is propelled into the air! |
![]() |
Slow Tile
Try to avoid the slow tiles, they'll quickly reduce your speed to a crawl. |

Ice Tile
The ice tiles have no friction at all. You'll have to make sure you can control your speed! |
