AUREUM Snake
liveThe snake game you already know, dressed in gold and black. You steer a snake around a board eighteen squares across, eating to grow, and it ends when you run into a wall or into yourself. Catching food without pausing builds a chain that is worth more points, and there are ten ranks to climb across however many games you play. It remembers your best score. There is a pad of arrows on screen for phones, and every sound is made by the game as you play, so nothing extra has to load. The whole thing is one file.
what it does
- Eating without a break builds a chain worth more points, so there is a reason to keep moving.
- Ten ranks to climb, counted across every game you play rather than just this one.
- A pad of arrows on screen means it plays properly on a phone.
- Every sound is made by the game as you play, so nothing extra has to load.
