I have a few issues with spectrail that I'd love to be worked on.

1. Higher payout. I saw this suggested before, but still, I might as well add it here. Some games give 25k after a certain point, and I've never made more than 1k on a good game of spectrail.

2. Fix the alignment. Spectrail is really awkward to play now because you move on a fixed point while everything else is just scattered around. Snake games are easy to play because of the exact, symmetric arrangement of everything. I don't care if there are obstacles - I care that the obstacles will kill me when I'm seemingly safe because the corner of it goes over the character. I wouldn't even mind if they took up 2 of those aligned blocks, but the hit box needs to be more clear.

3. This is more of a bug, but where is the high score for spectrail?

If anyone else has anything to add or say, please ping me!

There was a test version of a slightly revamped Spectrail a while ago, but it didn't address the issue with obstacle alignment/hit boxes. Personally, I found it more unplayable than the current version. >_<

It makes no sense to have them pop up in the way they do. I've seen obstacles overlap colours, making them impossible to collect without losing the game. That really needs fixing.

Spectrail is one of the first animated games that was released on Subeta and it really needs an upgrade. I can't even begin to describe how much the whole misalignment and hitbox thing bothers me. The same goes with obstacles randomly popping up right in your path before you even get the chance to react.

The speed and the idea of having obstacles are fine, but the wonky "arena" shape paired up with wonky hitboxes makes this game annoying to play. If it wasn't for Major Drills, I wouldn't even bother with it and I usually like snake games.

God yes. Everything about Spectrail needs a revamp. It's one of the more fun games (I love snake) but the pay out is literally a joke so I don't even bother.

The lack of a high score table pisses me off to no end, especially when there is an achievement and OH LOOK A PLUSHIE tied to it, which is now impossible to get because they won't fix this.

Also, there is a random glitch I noticed where the screen just... lags... and then you end up dying because you end up hitting a block when you weren't near it a second ago. I can't explain it better, because I suck at explaining but yes just everything.

[edit] Also with the alignment issues, sometimes a block will appear and HIT YOU. What even is that?

I agree that the alignment issue really needs to be addressed on Spectrail along with the high score table. It's a great game, but it's also made it impossible to even truly attempt the plushie collection achievement because there's practically no way to get the plushie associated with the high score achievement. It's already difficult enough to get the related to the achievement for getting 750 in a single game because of the alignment problem. Adding in the impossibility of scoring the is just cruel and unusual punishment. :P

I'd love to see Spectrail revamped, especially the alignment/hitbox issue. I usually love Snake games, but I can never play Spectrail for long.

And if anyone needed any more proof that Spectrail is indeed broken...

This happened barely 10 minutes ago while I was playing the game for Drills' quests.

Explain me a thing: how am I supposed to play a game so buggy that I feel like it actively tries to sabotage the player?

Ugh yes. It needs serious fixing. Still annoyed they got rid of the high score table too, because I was in the top 10......but it's not as annoying as the issues with the game, like the one posted. >_>

Ugh, please do not get me started on this game! My boyfriend has been listening to me complain about this game all week while doing Major drills quests. I finally made him play it, and after multiple tries, he couldn't even get 300. Can we please, Please, PLEASE fix this game? At the very least, make it less prevalent in Major Drills. I'm so tried of playing this broken game that every time it comes up in Major drills, all I can do is groan.

Spectrail really really needs a major re-vamp for all of the reasons listed above! It's so difficult to play sometimes.

I'm not even sure wtf glitch I get while playing. I've had in the middle of playing where I end up randomly losing the keyboard input. This happened on wireless, wired, and laptop keyboards. Not to mention at least three different computers. Usually on a good day this happens once to twice and luckily would fix itself so I could play the next round.

I've never had this happen on any other game that uses the keyboard to move until I've played Spectrail. In fact I've gone off to another site to play a game and check if I actually was having keyboard issues. The keyboard input would work fine until I went back to Spectrail.

I think the problem with that might be that the Spectrail game screen is ridiculously small on high resolutions, so it's easy to click outside of it on accident. You can't control your character if you click outside of the game screen, so that might be what's going on in your case? I've had it happen a few times and it's stupidly annoying. :/

This is probably my favorite game on the site, but my lord yes it needs fixing. Agreed with higher payout, too, and definitely the high score table!
