They will cut you.\r\n\r\nWhen 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.\r\n\r\n*************************************************\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\n\r\n[LEFT Arrow] \/ [RIGHT Arrow] - movement left \/right\r\n[LEFT Arrow] + [RIGHT Arrow] - BOOST \r\n\r\n[F] - full screen toggle\r\n[R] - restart\r\n\r\n*************************************************\r\n\r\nPOST COMPO:\r\n\r\n- added some sounds and music\r\n- added camera bloom (just for the nicer effect)\r\n- added number of current segments (length of the snake)\r\n\r\nUpdate #2\r\n\r\n- 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.\r\n\r\n*************************************************\r\n\r\n\r\nWork time ~20h.\r\n\r\nEnjoy.
