WHAT IS IT?

 VYPERSPACE is an asteroids game, you shoot asteroids to break them into smaller chunks before you can destroy them. Sometimes there is ore inside.

VYPERSPACE is a snake game, you eat ore to grow longer and need to avoid running into your own tail

 VYPERSPACE is a roguelike, it is a keyboard-driven turn-based tile-grid game of delaying permadeath by emergent hazards that only move when you do

CONTROLS
Cursors to move, X to shoot

HOW TO PLAY
Avoid colliding with your own tail or the asteroids. Shoot them and they will break into 1-4 shards.
Sometimes there is ore inside, collect it to grow longer. Ore will wrap around the screen twice before vanishing.
The longer your snake, the more bullets you can fire, and you score more points for each move you make.

TIPS
Moving object leave trails to help you infer direction from static screens.
Plan several moves in advance, your bullets need time to travel
Beware the chain reactions.
You can wrap around the screen edges but the middle of the screen is safer

PLEASE NOTE:
The collision code can occasionally get inaccurate when the screen gets very busy.
I started very late so I didn't have time to fix this. Will rectify post-compo.
