A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Cnakes was meant to be lightweight and very configurable game of snake with a twist, but it's not quite there yet. It's somewhat configurable, and quite lightweight, and it has a twist. 

Gameplay

  • One game lasts 5 minutes
  • Collect 'bugs' to grow your snake
  • Eat yourself to score points
    • The longer you are, the larger the potential score
    • If you run into a wall, you still get points for eating yourself, but less then if you had eaten yourself by wrapping around yourself.

  • Local High-Scores
  • Configure any resolution you want.
  • Configure game scale
  • Game grid is generated based on resolution and the scale configured
  • Configure game speed
  • Ability to brighten the line that you're on, to help you align with the target.
  • Full screen or windowed mode
  • Keyboard support
  • Controller support (tested only with Xbox 360 controller)
  • Open Source 
    • Build it yourself if your platform is not in the download section.
