changedWhat's This All About?You probably read the store page, so I'll skip the pitch and tell you what it doesn't say.
addedWhat's This All About?When I was a kid, everyone in the school computer room played snake on their noon break. One day I figured out you could edit the game's code. I gave the snake a rainbow skin, added a new food type, even built an extra level. The whole room lost it. This game that everyone had played a hundred times without expecting more - it could be more. Twenty-five years later, that same question is still driving me. How can we make the core gameplay more exciting? That turned into the Shrink Mechanic, which turned into characters with different stats, which turned into a 500-level campaign with 20 protagonists and an ancient war. Somewhere along the way it also became an 8-player couch party game. I regret nothing.
changedWhat's This All About?The game plays like the snake you remember, but nothing dies on first contact. Your length is your life, every collision costs you from the tail, and if you're longer than your opponent, you can pressure them out of existence. It rewards patience and aggression in equal measure, and it gets loud when the couch is full.

So I went and wrote 20,000 words of lore for a snake game. And honestly, I'd do it again.
