This game requires 2 players, so grab a friend or family member and play a few rounds together!

How to play:

  • Win by being the last one standing. Game end other players by hitting the head of their snake with one of your bullets, or getting them to crash.
  • Shooting and placing a wall will shorten your tail by one.
  • If part of your tail gets hit, it and everything before it will get cut off.
  • Eat food to grow your tail longer. Apples grow your tail by 3, cheeseburgers by 8 and key lime mints by 15.
  • The brown tiles are terrain tiles. You can destroy them by eating them if your tail is longer than their durability (darker brown tiles have a durability of 1, lighter brown have a durability of 2) or by shooting them.

Game Controls:

  • Both players:
    • Shoot: Hit the move key for the direction you're already moving in.
    • Place wall: Hit the move key opposite the direction you're already moving in.
  • Player 1 (left side of the screen):
    • Move: WASD
    • Sprint: C

    • Move: Arrow keys
    • Sprint: Ctrl

Other Controls:

  • Esc to pause
  • F11 to toggle fullscreen (can also be changed in the settings menu)

Tips:

  • Hold the shoot key longer to shoot your bullets faster.
  • Sprinting is useful, use it to travel around quicker! 
  • Walls are useful, they can be used both defensively and offensively.

Nice concept! It was hard to tell where the game was split. I did try play by myself so that was hard of course. If you had more time I am sure you could have made a AI comp playe
