I decided very spontanously to participate in this LD and since I didn't have the time and resources to make a serious game, I decided to do a little speedrun and see how fast I could get anything out.
Therefore I proudly present: a snake game with the unique twist of having to go in circles around the map. The game has single button controls, just press any button to turn right. No left turns and no shortcuts allowed, you have to circle the map completely if you missed the food by 1 tile. Sounds fun, right?
Also includes a state of the art, harmonically near perfect procedural music generator (not). Best thing the music script adds is the Mute-Button in the Main Menu, use it wisely.
Total time spent on this game was 7 hours. I estimated that I could do it in 2, but considering that my usual guesses are off by months, I am pretty satisfied with just 5 hours more.
- Holding a key does not turn the snake repeatedly anymore
- Fixed the old "Pellet-can-spawn-in-the-Center"-fix from last night
- Fixed pellets not spawning next to the right or bottom borders
- Fixed pellet occasionally spawning on the last tail segment
- Made pellets bigger to stick out of walls for easier bug hunts
- Adjusted snake color and segment scale
- Turned up the overall audio volume
Hotfix 1.2 (+0.5h to total time), 03.10.2020, Changelog:
- Snake speed now increases slightly with increasing score
- Fixed some random music loops not playing
