Forever Hungry
Forever Hungry
Made in 554 chars of Pico-8 for TweetTweetJam 6.
Cute little guy must keep eating to grow or it'll just shrink back to a young larvae. Luckily those delicious redish things can help you grow up to impressive length. Since the game starts slowing down at 700, let's consider this score a winning condition!
Controls
Press any key or any button to alternate snake angle: turn left -> turn right -> turn left...

Thank you for posting the code. I dont understand a word of it yet as i havent got pico8 yet but thank you nonetheless.
Very cool spin (no pun intended) on Snake, and nice graphics for a Tweetcart! The drop shadows and shading really help a lot. I wonder if you could explain the controls a bit more though, as even after playing it I'm not totally sure how they work o_O.
Done ;) (I hope)
good game :)
