Hey everyone,
I'm super excited to share something I've been working on: a little game called Snekris for the Playdate. It's a quirky twist on the classic snake game we all know, but with some fun tweaks and challenges that I hope you'll enjoy.
In Snekris, you'll help Snekkie, our adventurous little serpent, navigate through a world filled with stuff to eat and obstacles to avoid. The aim? To rack up as high a score as you can, not just by growing longer but by getting clever with the gameplay. We've thrown in some cool types of food and special items to keep things interesting.
It's available here https://dmrschmidt.itch.io/snekris with a special release discount :)
Here's a bit of what you'll find in the game:
- Chain Frenzy: For scoring like crazy - eat long chains of the same food.
- Magic Marbles: Yep, they're as odd as they sound, but they make all the food turn into Snekkie's favorites.
- Multipliers: To help you boost those scores. Dropped when you clear a frenzy.
- Thunderstorm : Fight against strong winds using the Crank. Because a little challenge never hurt anyone, right?
- Food Poisoning and Food Coma: Snekkie's tummy troubles can slow you down or mix things up.
- Tail Bite: Watch out, or you'll lose some of that length you worked hard for.
- Bombs: To clear away parts of the wall again that slowly builds up (actually multipliers you don't consume)
It's all about strategy, agility, and a bit of luck. I've had a blast creating Snekris and experimenting with these ideas. I really hope it brings you as much fun playing as it did for me making it. Can't wait to hear what you think!
