You dont EAT THE ORBS
you ABSORB THEM
Catch them IN A LOOP for a moment until they POP
I lowered their energy almost to zero but you still have to catch them or at least touch them couple times to pop them

Hi
My game is a snake-like game where you have to catch orbs to get bigger and then fight the boss.
orbs run fast so the strategy is to catch them in a Loop.
Avoid red mines. They will cut you.
When you are long enough (~60 segments) you can fight the boss. You have to destroy red canons that spits red mines. There are 5 of them. To destroy it you have to short two electric beams on both sides of the canon with your body to shock the canon until it explodes.
*************************************************
CONTROLS:
[LEFT Arrow] / [RIGHT Arrow] - movement left /right
[LEFT Arrow] + [RIGHT Arrow] - BOOST
[F] - full screen toggle
[R] - restart
*************************************************
POST COMPO:
- added some sounds and music
- added camera bloom (just for the nicer effect)
- added number of current segments (length of the snake)
Update #2
- lowered the difficulty. Many comments about how hard it is to catch an orb so I lowered their speed so they dont run away as fast. Hope it's easier now.
*************************************************
Work time ~20h.
Enjoy. Hope you like it ;)
Cheers

I also like the way the cut of part still moves! Nice!
That's very sad the "eat" feature don't work :(
Still when it works correctly, I like it, it fits both themes and feels consistent.
I managed to get some null refs though;)
But at least I got my serpent the right length in the post compo versions, but still had trouble finding the boss so I couldn't even try to figure that out!
... For 20 hours work! (Plus Post Compo)
