Snacktime for Snakes
About
Challenge your visual perceptiveness and manual dexterity by hunting a well camouflaged white mouse hidden in a scintillating landscape among striped snakes. This skill-based arcade action game wickedly twists together "Where's Waldo", classic snake game, and optical illusions. There are ten levels - ten different snakes to feed for snacktime.
(The screenshots don't do the game justice - everything is in motion and in flux in the game.)
This game was made for CGAJam, a game jam where games must be purely in a 4-color CGA palette and use 8-bit chiptunes for audio/music. Check out my other #CGAJam game also: Where Seldom is Heard
The game jam themes used are:
- Always Faster: With each level, you control a faster and more maneuverable snake.
- History Repeats: Snakes from previous levels repeat the movements you used when you played those levels. The mouse also repeats the same movements it performed in previous levels.
Tip: follow the previous snakes to know where the mouse will be. The blood splatters are where the mouse has previously died. Wait there and let the mouse come to you
