Scorch Trail is a fast, one-touch arcade steering game set in a smoldering slate arena. You guide a living fire serpent that never stops moving. Hold the left or right half of the screen to bend its heading, carve smooth S-curves around jutting cyan rubble, and sweep up golden wisps before your SCORCH meter burns out. Every run is a duel between your line and the fade.
HOW IT PLAYS
The serpent glides forward on its own — there are no lanes, no jumps, and no brakes. Hold left or right to curve your heading; release to run straight. Cyan rubble breaks your line and drains scorch. Golden wisps refill the meter, build your combo, and multiply every payout. The longer you survive, the faster the arena flows. One clean curve is worth more than ten panicked swerves.

PROGRESSION
Collect scales on every run and spend them in the Scale Market. Scale Guard forgives a single rubble strike. Wildfire doubles wisp payouts for 10 seconds. Cold Slate slows the arena for 8 seconds when the pace outruns you. Second Burns reignite a spent run exactly where it ended. Push your best distance, refine your racing line, and keep the trail burning.
