SNAKE RUN
A true classic computer game remade to be played easily here. Snake was launched with the first set of games on GameMyself. This version has no special rules and is made to be like the originals. Eat apples to get larger, don't run into the wall and don't run into yourself. Survive as long as possible to try and beat your own high score.
How to play
Eat the apples and try not to die! Each apple scores 10 points and there is a timed gold bonus that scores 50 points. The gold bonus does not give any penalty, just more points. You have only 1 life and can retry as many times as you want. You lose by running into a wall or running into yourself. Your tail grows larger and you gain speed on every apple eaten. WASD, arrows on PC and D-Pad on mobile. Swipe also works on mobile but the D-Pad is more accurate at speed. A true reaction game where the real problem is positioning the snake so you do not run into yourself.
Behind the game
At first it was an ugly green block that didn't move or grow right. It progressed into a line that was choppy and did not react fast enough. The snake would crash into the wall unless you pressed the key down early. It evolved into a more realistic snake with a tongue and proper reaction to input.
Hints
This depends on the player. I like to leave enough space in order to move and grow. Make tight turns to leave as much space as possible. Attempt to plan a route, but this is hard when you are moving so fast. The speed and length of the snake build on every apple. After 18 apples the snake stops gaining speed and only grows in length. When moving at high speeds, you may need to preemptively turn before slamming into a wall. Concentration and reaction win here.
