Animal Trackers (iPhone Game) - Gameplay - Level 34 snippet

A snippet from level 34 of the iPhone game 'Animal Trackers' showing Coyli (pronounced 'Kylie', as in 'Coyli Coyote') tracking the rat through the mountains. ('Show more' for a running comentary.)

She first notices that the rat's trail leads into a hole in the cliff face and surmises that the rat must have gone in there and come out the other side. So, she doubles back and goes round, avoids one pile of rocks and is stopped by another, but since she can see the rat's tracks coming out of the other side of the cliff face and can also see another hole just in front of her, she doubles back again and follows the trail north.

Avoiding the piles of rocks as she goes, she soon reaches a dead end where the trail once again disappears into a hole in the cliff face. However, she also notices a distinctive green patch on the ground. Hmmm, what could that mean?

Well, she knows that the rat most likely would have come out on the other side of the cliff, but how is she to get there?

Taking a mental note of where the other side of the cliff would be, she endeavours to trace a route around the whole cliff face in order to get to the other side and pick up the trail.

On the way she comes to yet another pile of rocks, but this time she can't go around it. However, she has some powerful claws and so slashes the rocks out of the way (by the player repeatedly tapping the pile of rocks).

She then continues on her way, ignoring the tracks she found earlier, and smashes through or avoids rocks as she sees fit, all the while being mindful of where the trail is likely to reappear.

And lo and behold, rounding the last corner, she picks up the trail again and is sure it's the right one because she can see that familiar green patch of ground that she saw earlier.
