Tune Trail Guide: How to Play

What is Tune Trail?

Tune Trail is a released musical logic puzzle by Anipixels. The central task is to steer a rolling marble so that it rings chimes in the same order as a displayed melody.

Each level represents its short tune with a row of coloured notes. Players build a route by tapping empty squares to place mirrors, then press Play to see the marble travel through the board.

Solving a tune

The marble must reach the chimes in the correct order. If it rings the wrong note or rolls away, the current run stops. This outcome lets the player see where the route needs to change before trying another mirror arrangement.

A successful solution makes the marble play the full tune. Three stars are awarded for using the fewest mirrors.

Puzzles and board elements

Tune Trail contains 40 puzzles based on well-known folk songs and classics. The official description names Twinkle Twinkle, Ode to Joy, Frère Jacques, London Bridge and Oh! Susanna among its musical sources.

The puzzles progress from 5-by-5 warm-up boards to 8-by-8 boards with 12-note melodies. Later levels introduce decoy chimes, rocks and fixed bronze mirrors. Every level is checked by a solver.

After the 40 puzzles, the game offers endless levels. It also includes a Daily Tune that is the same for everyone.

How to play

Open the GameTio game page, select Play, then choose Run game on the developer’s itch.io page. Tune Trail is available as an HTML5 browser game.

In a puzzle, review the coloured-note melody, tap empty squares to place mirrors and press Play. Watch the marble’s route, then revise the mirrors if it rings a wrong note or leaves the intended path.
