HUNGRY Self-Eating Centipede by sirival

[raw]
made by sirival for LD28 (JAM)
You only get one... body. And since you are a HUNGRY self-eating centipede* your tail wants to eat it! So you need to collect food as fast as you can in order to stay alive.

This is an endless runner - snake type of game in which your body gets smaller and smaller over time and you have to collect power ups to grow it back up for as long as you can.

The game was made in 48 hours by Vaios Kalpias and Vaggelis Gavalakis using PlayCanvas (http://www.playcanvas.com). It works on all browsers that support WebGL.

Fun game. Would be nice if the challenge somehow improved more over time.

This is a strange snake. She don't die hitting itself, boxes, walls. To die you need to block the snake in the dead end or let tail eat you ^_^ So strange...

Thank you :) When your body shrinks your speed increases as well so if you have a really small body you go super fast. I don't know if that makes it harder though :D

Lol, pausing rather than dieing when I ran into something made this much easier than the normal snake games!

@DanielVF indeed - if you died when the snake is small and goes really fast it would be really difficult!

Like the music and sound effects and look... and liked the first minute of the game. Does it get harder? I stopped playing ~300 points because it felt like I could just go on forever.

The camera made me a little motion sick... would like it more if it wasn't so bouncy.

Very nice concept. I find the camera zooming in/out very annoying.

Got me an 680 and corner suicided instead of letting that pesky tail eat my head! Very interesting and nice game :)

Simple but fun. I thought nothing new can be created with old snake idea, I guess I was wrong. Also nice music :)
