SNOKE

My first game jam game, an ASCII snake game where you eat yourself to split into more snakes.

details

SNOKE was my first game jam game, made in 2022 at the Schmiede game jam in Hallein, Austria, together with Scally.

The theme was Eat your friends. Our take: a singleplayer snake game where you eat yourself to split into multiple snakes. You select a snake via its letter on the keyboard and steer it with the arrow keys; the challenge is coordinating several snakes at once to complete the level goals.

It’s written in pure JavaScript in an ASCII style. I implemented the tick timer, the level configuration system, the powerups, the wave system and the scoring.

A small hint: in game you can trigger a tick by pressing Space ;)
