Draw Path To Finish

Draw Path To Finish asks you to plan a ride. A heroine stands on a moving platform at the start of a course, the finish lies somewhere ahead, and in between are saws, fire, lava, cannons, explosive barrels and other traps. The platform will go wherever your line tells it to.

You draw the whole route in one go, from the starting point towards the finish, and keep holding until it is done. Letting go sends the platform off along the path, and from then on you are watching rather than steering. According to the developer, every level mixes the hazards in a different combination, so a route that worked on one course says little about the next. There are coins to collect along the way and new looks for the heroine to open. Precision and planning are what the developer says it takes to win.

Press the mouse button or touch the screen at the starting point and, without releasing, draw a line towards the finish. That line becomes the route for the heroine's platform. Release and the platform sets off along it. Shape the route so that it stays clear of saws, fire, lava, projectiles and the other traps in the way.

Since the platform only moves after you let go, there is no correcting the route mid-ride. Trace the whole line with care before releasing, giving every saw, patch of lava and cannon shot a wide berth. Coins are there to collect along the course, as long as reaching one does not mean brushing past a trap.

A draw-the-route puzzle with a heroine riding a moving platform. Landscape frame (800 by 600). Mouse or touch controls. The developer lists saws, fire, lava, cannons and explosive barrels as hazards, plus coins and new looks.

Draw Line Stickman also asks you to keep a hero safe with a drawn line, this time as a barrier, and Funny Cars Route has you draw paths that lead cars into parking spaces of their own colour.
