Snake Charmer
Snake your way through this ever-changing dungeon. Fill up your stomach before heading over to the next dungeon. Your next dungeon will magically take the shape of your snake!
Control using the W A S D keys or by swiping left, right, up or down.
In the top left you can see how many gems you will need to eat before you can go to the next dungeon. When you go to the next dungeon the eaten gems will be added to you total score.
Details
The original idea was to make a dungeon using the snake after which you would explore the dungeon in a dungeon crawler type game. Of course this was way too ambitious and I quickly had to scale down. I decided to keep the idea of making a level with the snake.
I wanted to added different types of gem with which you could build the level. Each type of gem would correspond with a different room. Each room would have some unique characteristics, a room with traps, a room with health, a room with enemies. This way there would be some strategy with chaining rooms together.
Unfortunately I had too compromise greatly on both these ideas and finally I finished with this game. I think it's a fun little twist on the snake game but ultimately it doesn't offer much content.
Thank you for playing my game and I hope you enjoy it!

The only thing I'd ask for is to be able to change the speeds of the snake. One of my favorite parts of playing snake clones online, was being able to play at triple speeds, to make the game more difficult and fun for myself.
Overall, I really realllly like this game. 1) because I'm a sucker for snake games 2) because It's a done in a way which really gives life back to the classic.

Play as a heroic robot hiding all the other toys away from mum's constant cleaning.
The only issue with this game is that the controls are slightly janky. There have been several occasions where I press a button and the snake doesn't move in the direction I want it to.
Overall, considering how much you had to strip down, I'd say that this is pretty good.
Visuals are really nice, if the snake would have been animated/smooth I would have been a 5 :)
The game is overall really polished, the controls are a little cluncky though, they didn't respond some times
