Trance follows the tetris genre with a totally new twist. You control the main ship and droids. You launch seeds one at a time from the main ship outside a boundary shown in the game. A center target then appears. You have to guide the little droids to drag the seeds to the center target within a time limit. As you drag the seeds, they replicate for a short duration. The more seeds you drag equates to a higher score. Hitting the target gains bonus points. Every time you launch a seed, your life count goes down. If you succeed in dragging seed to target, your life is preserved, otherwise life is lost. You start with 9 lives.

The horizontal and vertical controls are diferent giving it a fuzzy feel. Horizontal control turns it 1😬 degrees to left or right. Vertical control allows the ships to turn vertically in small steps. You can bunch the ships together but they won't stay together too long as they are programmed to branch out each taking it's own path.

There is no time limit to launch seeds, so be patient and position the ships before launching, then you have to be quick.
Patience, Strategy and a quick reaction will win. Most of all, relax and flow with the game.

This is a one level demo done in 5 days for comp05. More twisted and colourful levels on the way featuring particles (PC version). Enjoy and use the Force 😊
