Chinchilla Trails

Chinchilla Trails is a tile-rotation route puzzle with a small furry reason to exist: a chinchilla has got lost and needs a path back to its house. Each board is covered in trail pieces. You turn them until they join into one continuous route from the chinchilla to the front door.

Two extras decide how well you did. Snacks sit on the board, and the developer asks you to include both snack cubes in the finished route whenever possible. There is also a perfect-turn number for each stage, which is a three-star target, not a move limit, so you can keep experimenting as long as you like. The developer lists 100 stages spread across five worlds, plus an animated tutorial, music generated as you play and progress saved in your browser. Mouse and touch both work, in a wide landscape frame.

Click or tap a trail tile to turn it clockwise. Keep rotating tiles until every piece links into a single route from the chinchilla to the house. Try to route the trail through both snack cubes. Finish within the perfect-turn number to earn all three stars, although going over it does not stop you completing the stage.

Each tap turns a piece clockwise only, so a piece that needs a quarter turn the other way takes three taps. Decide the final direction of every tile before touching it to stay near the perfect-turn number. Plan the route through the snacks first, then join the ends.

Neon Circuit also grades you against par while you rotate tiles a quarter turn at a time, and Pipe Connect Puzzle asks for one continuous water path from start to finish.
