Game objective
Draw a closed line that traps the moving dot without letting it cross the stroke.
Controls
- Pointer or touch drag: Draw the trapping boundary on the canvas
How scoring works
Successful traps. A closed boundary contains the moving dot The dot crosses the unfinished line or the enclosure succeeds
Core mechanics
- The moving dot remains hazardous while a boundary is being drawn, so the unfinished stroke is part of the timing challenge.
- A successful attempt requires the stroke to close into an enclosure that contains the dot.
- Shorter boundaries reduce drawing time but demand a better read of the dot's current direction and turning space.
Common failure causes
- Starting directly in the dot's path gives it an immediate chance to cross the unfinished stroke.
- Drawing a large perimeter takes too long and exposes more of the boundary before it closes.
- Leaving a wide final gap lets the dot escape while the pointer travels back to the starting point.
How to recover a difficult position
After a crossing, wait for the dot to travel away from the intended closing area. Begin a smaller loop behind its motion, keep the curve compact, and aim the final segment toward the starting point so the last gap closes with minimal pointer travel.
How we tested this game
Gameplay reviewed .
- Desktop
- Pointer drawing was checked for open and closed strokes, dot crossings, successful containment, result feedback, and a clean retry.
- Mobile
- Touch emulation confirmed continuous drawing, canvas containment, browser-gesture isolation, visible status, and restart after failure.
Tips for Line Trap
- Begin when the dot is moving away from the planned closing point.
- Use a compact enclosure instead of tracing the whole arena.
- Close the final gap quickly so the dot has less time to escape.
