Isi Trail II

Summary
Isi Trail II is a small game in which you need to control a herd of icelandic horses and fulfill level goals like leading them to the right pasture or the right type of food.

Game Design
The game runs on Macromedia Flash Player 5.0. It is designed in 2D and bird's eye view. You overlook an area and need to navigate your horses via mouse. They will move away from the mouse. There are a few ambience sounds (horses and bird song). The game consists of 3 scenarios with a few levels each. High Scores are based on time for completion - you start out with a score of 1000, with one point deducted for every second needed during levels.

Game Play
Since the game is completely in German (with no other language existing to my knowledge), you will find English translations here.

Menu and Help Page
The help page Hilfe describes the game mechanics and the menu. Hilfe “In Isi Trail II, you can choose between three different landscapes. At each location, you need to pass different tasks. The principle of the game stays the same. You drive the horses to a specific place by using the cursor. Sometimes, you also need to open pasture gates by clicking them. The faster you drive the horses to the designated location, the more points you score. Beware, some horses have their own will and will jump fences. If you don't manage a level or don't feel like it anymore, you can quit the level by clicking the logo in the top left corner. You quit the application by pressing the X in the top right corner or press Esc at any point in game. If you are playing the landscapes Am See (at the lake) or Auf dem Reiterhof (at the riding farm), there's a number displayed in the bottom right corner. This is the count for the horses which are already at the designated spot(s). In the landscape Auf Futtersuche (Looking for Food), there's a display in the bottom left corner counting the items you have already picked up. Options: If your pc has poor computing power, you can change the graphics settings in the Optionen Menu. This will speed up the graphics. You can change graphics for menus and game levels separately. Also, you can change the speed of the horses on the screen. For beginners, you should lower it, making the horses easier to steer. Professionals pick a high speed setting so the horses will be faster, but at the same time, the horses will be more wild, ignore fences sometimes, and will be harder to steer in tight corners. You need to find your ideal speed setting. High Score: In the menu Highscore, you can look at your high scores. If you have questions, criticism, or found bugs, mail to: [e-mail not valid any more]”

Auf Futtersuche (looking for food)
The objective in this landscape is picking up all the food, as levels progress, different horses will have different preferences. “There's apples, carrots, and bags of oats lying in the pasture. A welcome meal for the horses, they will eat whatever they come across. In the first level, you need to collect all the apples on the pasture with only one horse, and then bring it back to the paddock. Don't forget closing the gate again.” “Now, there are three hungry horses in the paddock waiting for food. Don't hesitate to long, but feed them all the apples, carrots, and oat bags lying in the pasture. Afterwards, bring all the horses back to the paddock and close the gate.” “The horse owners found out that the horses regularly manage to get snacks, so they have locked the gate. But they missed one horse on the pasture to the bottom left. Collect the remaining five carrots with this companionable animal and bring them to the gate of the paddock to share with the locked up horses.” “These gluttons just can't get enough. In the next level, there are nine horses wanting some snacks. But by now, they have gotten more picky, not every horse will eat every type of food.” Black horses eat oats, bay horses eat apples, grey horses eat carrots. You do not need to lead them back to the paddock, just collect all the food. You don't need to bring all the horses, one of each coat color will do.
