I was playing Spectrail today and noticed something weird.

Every single time I play on any difficulty, after I catch 3 blobs I get a game over. I have tried many, many times and I had another user try and she got the same results.

Is anyone else having this issue?

My issue with the game is that the arrow keys don't work, so the pet goes straight into the wall every time.

I'm not having this problem, but its happened before Spectrail Bug.

Some were able to make it work in a different browser - but some had the problem over several different browsers. So if you can maybe try a different browser and see if you can make it work on any of them.

Thank you, I'll give it a try!

I've always played in Firefox and it's never done this before, it seems to be a new issue for me. was playing in Chrome and it did the same thing to her today, too. Maybe I'll try it in Chrome and see if I can replicate the issue on my end, too, just for thoroughness sake.

I'm using Firefox (but I haven't updated in a while) and I just tried a few minutes ago, working fine for me.

Yeah I'm having the same problem, only in Chrome. Every time I get the third spectrum thing, the game just automatically ends. Just tried on Firefox and same thing. I have no idea why its happening :(

I'm on firefox and the exact same thing happens - after 3 it game overs and the arrow keys dont work :(

i suspect it's an issue with how the trail blob location is being calculated. after 3 blobs, the numbers might shake out in such a way that the trail is considered to be intersecting with the character, so the game thinks you've hit your own tail, which causes a game over. just a guess though.

I noticed while playing, that unlike other snake games, you're not allowed to "zigzag", that is to say you can't move one unit up, then left, then one unit up, then right, etc. The game considers this to be you colliding with your tail. Also the "mines" (coal lumps) seem to be placed on the vertices of the grid instead of cell centres like they are in meerca chase, meaning there are four cells around each coal lump you cannot touch.

EDIT: I'm playing spectrail on my laptop rn and its actively broken, the spacing of the tail peices which are added to your tail is totally different to when its working properly and you randomly die while playing normally. The grid spacing shouldn't be different on different platforms anyway

I'm also dying immediately after getting 3 thingies. Every time. I sad. help.

I have the same issue as Min!

I keep having the same issue as well- dying after getting three things. I'm using chrome and tried to use operaGX and got the same issue

I'm not having this issue in Chrome. However, the collision with rocks and such is definitely off. Could it be an issue with the size of the browser window or something else that might knock it out of sync?
