Four player cooperative snake game on one screen. Install
How to Play: Move left and right to eat your color to grow longer and surround enemy snakes. You never die, but it may be difficult to navigate around.
Why: I love the snake game, and wanted to try a teamwork variation, as well as push the limits of how many can play at once.
Game Design: Start with a tiny snake in a big world with many wandering enemies. Give a sense of progress and contrast. Provide minimal controls and remove the threat of death. At first it is fairly difficult to move around, there are so many randomly moving robot snakes. As you eat more of your color dots you get longer until finally you can block off your space and even attack the enemies.
Stories: I love playing this game, getting lost in the world, and knocking out enemies. There is something strangely fun about grinding and gradually getting stronger. It feels like there is good potential to provide a world where people are working together in some common outcome.
