From the pan flutes in the soundtrack to the stony jungle themed graphics, Quadion Technologies pulled me into this puzzle game that is unlike anything I have ever played.

The game board itself is 8×6 square grid minus one random square of debris. Your game pieces are stone squares (runes) that have a piece of trail running from one side to another. This gives you horizontal runes, vertical runes, and the four curved runes that when put together make a circle. When you start a game you have four runes that you can move anywhere on the board as long as there is a clear path. When you make a move three more runes are randomly placed on the board. The top right corner shows which runes will come but where they land no body knows. Once you make a trail at least five runes long the trail will disappear. You can also clear trails by having the two end pieces connect to the edge of the board or connecting the end of the trail to the beginning of it. Some runes show up with spheres on them, when you clear a trail with a sphere on it you gain that bonus.

White: freezes the incoming runes for three turns

Purple: Doubles the score of the cleared trail

Green: Triples the score of the cleared trail

The goal is to get the highest score you can without the board filling up, thus ending the match. Each rune cleared gives you one point so you need to use your multipliers wisely.

Quadion Technologies utilizes the open feint technology for their leader boards and achievements. At $.99 this game is a must have for you puzzle addicts and open feint fiends looking for a fun way to get more achievement points. Rune Trails is great for a quick match but be careful because with the “just one more game” factor you might find time slip away from you.
