Animal Track Ranger
Play a field ranger with a pack and binoculars in a textured 3D birch forest with a stream. Twenty-four generated trails each hide a deer, fox, boar or bear. Inspect every muddy print to log its stride, age and heading; the gold arrow and notes tell you which way the animal went and which species it is. Walking is loud and crouching is quiet, and wind carries your scent to the animal, so you must circle downwind. Raise the binoculars from 5 to 12 metres, hold steady for 2.5 seconds and then return to the exit ring undisturbed. Decoy tracks start at trail 5, hard ground with bent grass at 9, a wind shift at 13 and a relocated animal at 18.
How to play
- Drag the MOVE pad (or W/S/A/D) to walk and the LOOK pad (or arrow keys) to turn. Tap INSPECT (E) beside each print to log stride, age and heading; NOTES (Q) cycles your log.
- Match the stride and print shape to the species in the notes and follow the gold arrows. Tap CROUCH (C) to move quietly near the animal and keep the wind compass pointing from the animal towards you.
- Stop 5 to 12 metres away, aim at the animal and hold OBSERVE (Space) for 2.5 seconds in the binocular scope. Once identified, walk back to the exit ring without alerting it.
Tips
- The alert bar fills when the animal notices noise or scent. Above half it is alarmed and below a third it recovers; a full bar makes it flee.
- Walking is about twice as loud as crouching, and mud is quieter than hard ground. Approach crouched and from downwind, never from upwind.
- If a trail turns cold, check for a decoy trail from another species. Stride length and print shape separate the animals, and later trails need the heading from bent grass.
Questions
What is saved?
Best score, unlocked trails and successful UTC Daily streaks save locally. An active trail position is not saved. Replaying a trail never relocks progression.
How does the Daily work?
The UTC date deterministically chooses a trail and seed. Only a completed identification and exit advances the streak, at most once per date.
How do rooms work?
Three or more friends can compete on the same seeded first trail. Real banked scores feed the shared scoreboard and final podium. Site computers are score-based opponents, not rangers in the forest. A room permits one run, without local retry or level switching; the room clock continues while paused.
Why did the animal run away?
Noise or scent pushed its alert bar to full. Crouch, stay downwind and observe from a distance of at least 5 metres.
What if 3D fails or I hide the tab?
Hiding or blurring pauses the simulation and requires explicit resume. Enable WebGL and hardware acceleration if the forest cannot load. Lost context displays a reload recovery message without deleting saved progress.
