do!\u00a0 OK, dopey story out of the way, this is just a game where you quickly trace over different symbols before the computer can.\u00a0 It has a nice 80\u2019s neon theme at least.\u00a0 Chaser Tracer is available on mobile devices, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n<p>Before you start, you\u2019ll choose one of three difficulty levels, although I didn\u2019t notice much difference between them.\u00a0 You\u2019ll then see different lines you must trace over with your finger on the touch screen.\u00a0 If you wait to long, you\u2019ll see them being traced over in pink, as if an invisible finger is doing it.\u00a0 If the pink line covers the symbol before you can trace over the whole thing, you\u2019ll lose a life.\u00a0 Lose all three and it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 If you can trace enough of these lines and symbols, you can move onto the next level.\u00a0 Sometimes you can earn power-ups that let you slow down time and whatnot when activated.<\/p>\n<p>While I liked the 80\u2019s neon motif, me being an 80\u2019s kid and all, this is nothing more than those countless \u2018trace the pattern\u2019 games you might\u2019ve played on the Nintendo DS or whatever.\u00a0 And it gets nigh impossible past stage five or so, so I didn\u2019t stay interested for long.\u00a0 There are in-game purchases that give you perks like being able to continue where you left off.\u00a0 But it seems a bit high for this kind of game at five bucks a pop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/chaser_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
