I gave up playing since the last time I posted in this thread. I just tried again and it is still happening to me as well. I am playing on a laptop. I do not have any other computers to try it on. Chrome, windows 11
Checking this thread 8 months later and it still looks like it hasn't been fixed... shame, because I've mostly only been using my desktop (the computer it doesn't work on) aaaand... I actually found subeta when looking for a neopets Meerca chase clone! I can't play it, RIP. I haven't really been active in months so shrug
I've been itching for some flash games and thought to check again. Same problem, although I did figure out that the bug (dying after 3) happens when trying to turn. If I don't move and just let it go it's fine... until I hit the edge and die of course.
Any news on whether or not this is ever going to be fixed?
We understand your frustration with the games not working. We want you to know that we do see your reports. One of the problems is that these games are so old that the current staff cannot troubleshoot the code of the old staff. Another issue is that we have to devote our time to other more widespread issues such as the recent login issues. This is not to say that we do not care, it just may take a bit longer to get to these issues. Thank you for your patience.

I just wanted to mention that I'm also experiencing this issue on my end, just in case any more info on the variety of cases cases might help figure out the root of the issue! I know it's not as high of a priority, but I figured I may as well.
I'm using Chrome and Windows 10

Just here to say that I'm also experiencing this issue. I tried on Chrome and Edge, and it's doesn't go past the 3rd splotch.
Glad I found this thread, I just started playing a few days ago but I keep running into the same three blob and death issue. My laptop is a Dell G15, it's meant for gaming as well but for some reason, I just can't get the game to work. I haven't tried in any different tabs yet but I'm trying on Microsoft Edge.
Glad I saw this thread I had issues logging in (my fault I prefer Opera and it wont load on opera). I tried playing spectrail on chrome windows 10, the bug happens AFTER collecting the third blotch and ONLY if you move. I played it on easy, medium and hard( I mostly play hard thought it was there), no gray splotches happened in front of me when i collected the third so I let my character move first to see and its anytime you move left right, up or down after collecting the third splotch. This is the only game I truly love other than 2048 on here lol
Sadly this game is still bugged for me as well, in the same way others have described here. After the 3rd splotch I turn and lose. I understand the games are low priority with the site rework happening, but I miss spectrail, lol.
Also experiencing this on Firefox Version 133.0.3 on Windows 10. All three difficulties. I collect three blobs, turn, and it's game over.
😰 sorry for the radio silence on this, folks! these games are OLD and built on a javascript library that doesn’t have an uncompiled version anymore, which makes debugging a huge pain.
the good news? games like this are WAY easier to build now using standard browser tech (a lil canvas magic) compared to the chaotic flash-to-html5 scramble back then.
i’m setting a personal challenge to rewrite spectrail—maybe a simpler version—before year’s end. if i can’t get something more usable up by then, i’ll look into hiring a contractor to tackle it.
