There was a time when everyone was obsessed with whatever version of Snake they had on their terrible, invariably Nokia mobile. Thankfully, since then nobody has been obsessed with phones or reheated retro games.
Snakelikecombines two things I resent to create one I enjoy. Dastardly alchemy. It is a turn based roguelike in which you are a snake, from Snake. It’s clever and cute and I’m upset it isn’t better known.
I feel bad for narrowly bootingSnakelikeout of Unknown Pleasureslast year. It faced stiff competition, but with hindsight I think I’d rather play it some more (having just replayed it a few minutes ago) than some of what defeated it.
When a segment dies, it turns to stone and cuts off anything behind it. You can store apples in a satchel if you have enough segments, and then must curl around to reach back into it to use them. If you ‘sproing a sproingo’ your tail becomes your head, and if you fully surround some enemies they become claustrophobic and spontaneously expire.
It’s a fun idea but the execution is creative and really stands out. There’s a very simple, early version playable in browser onItch.io, but the full version onSteam Early Accessis far better, with better graphics, sound, magic, more of everything, and full tutorials.
