Watch the path
A route pours across the grid one cell at a time, then the board wipes clean. How long you get to study it depends on the level.

Mind Trace: remember the path, then draw it back.
A memory game for Android from independent studio Astraknight. A route lights up across the grid, then vanishes — and it's on you to trace it from memory. Boards grow as your recall does.

How it plays
Three seconds to learn. Considerably longer to master.
Mind Trace strips a memory test down to one clean loop. There is no tutorial to sit through and nothing to configure — the first level teaches itself.
Trace it back
Drag from the starting cell and follow the route from memory. The fill chases your finger as you go, so the line feels like liquid rather than a series of taps.
Climb
Clear levels to grow the board and raise your Memory Rating. Miss one and you lose a life — though the first slip of a run is forgiven.
Progression
The board grows with you, then stops holding back.
A ladder, then no ceiling
Play opens on a 4×6 grid and steps up to 5×7 and 6×8, eighteen levels at a time. Once the largest board arrives the ladder gives way to endless tiers, so there is no point where the game runs out of room.
Memory Rating and Brain Age
Every run adjusts a persistent Memory Rating — it climbs when you clear cleanly and slips when you don't, so it settles at an honest reading rather than a high-score you set once. That rating maps to a Brain Age, starting at 60 and falling as low as 18.

Questions
About Mind Trace
What is Mind Trace?
Mind Trace is a free memory game for Android, made by independent studio Astraknight. A winding path lights up across a grid and then disappears; you trace it back from memory. It is designed for short sessions and gets harder as your recall improves.
How do you play Mind Trace?
Watch the path light up cell by cell, wait for the board to clear, then press on the starting cell and drag along the route you remember. Complete the full path to clear the level. Backtracking mid-drag is allowed, so a wrong turn is recoverable as long as you haven't lifted your finger.
Is Mind Trace free?
Yes. Mind Trace is free to download and play on Google Play, and it does not require an account to start.
What devices does Mind Trace run on?
Mind Trace is an Android game, available through the Google Play Store. There is no iOS version at present.
Does Mind Trace get harder?
Yes. The grid grows from 4×6 to 5×7 to 6×8 across eighteen-level steps, paths get longer and less predictable, and once you reach the largest board the game continues into endless tiers that keep raising the difficulty.
What is the Memory Rating?
A persistent score that rises and falls with how you actually perform, rather than only recording your best run. It converts to a Brain Age, which starts at 60 for a new player and can fall as low as 18.
One developer, zero filler
Astraknight is an independent game studio building small, focused mobile games. Every feature starts from the same question — can this be smaller, cleaner, sharper? What ships is only what survives it.
