SnakeLike is a RogueLike that plays a little like Snake.

Meander through dungeons, fight enemies and devour their remains to add their abilities to your own lineup.

As a snake, it's up to you to make use of your long, segmented body. Try to surround enemies to attack them from all sides.

And try not to get yourself stuck in dead ends.

The game ends if your head runs out of life, or if you run out of segments.

CONTROLS:

Arrow keys: move

W: Attack Forward (using the head)
A/D: Attack Left/Right (using the segments)
S: Digest (to heal/change the ability of a specific segment)

HOW TO PLAY SNAKELIKE
=====================

Your objectives:
1. Grow stronger.
2. Don't die.
3. Reach more difficult levels.

1. How to grow stronger:
---
Whenever you defeat an enemy, it leaves behind a corpse. Move onto food (like corpses) to ingest it. Every time you move, the food moves further down your body until it reaches the end of your body, at which point it becomes an extra segment (unless it was generic meat). Which type of segment it becomes depends on the enemy ingested; swallowing a rat nets you a gray rat-like segment, while swallowing a cat gives you a brown cat segment. STRONGER MONSTERS GIVE STRONGER SEGMENTS. Stronger segments deal more damage and/or have more HP. While a corpse is moving through your body, you can press S to digest the food; the segment the corpse was in will be changed to the corpse's type. You can use this to upgrade your segments (or downgrade if you have a weaker enemy!); it's particularly recommended to upgrade the segments closer to you head as they are more vital.

2. How not to die:
---
There are two ways to die: Fatal head damage and fatal damage to the segment closest to your head. The reason for the latter is that once a segment dies, all segments behind it also die. (The dead segments will all leave generic meat, which allows you to heal but not regrow segments.) For this reason, try not to tank too many hits with your head or first segment. Your head and segments can be healed using food in two manners:
1. As food moves through the segments, your segments are healed slightly.
2. Digesting food strongly heals the segment it's in (or your head if it's still there). If the food is a corpse, it also changes the segment type (unless it's your head digesting it); generic meat does not change segments and is thus always safe for consumption. (As generic meat adds no segment to your body, it's often useful to digest it rather than having it move through your entire body.) Digesting food takes one turn. (You can also press the digest button with no food in your body to skip a turn.)

3. How to reach more difficult levels:
---
This part is easy. On every level, there's a portal leading to the next level. You just have to find it and move onto it. Every new level contains an enemy type stronger than the strongest enemy of the previous level. This is both advantageous (better upgrades for your body) and disadvantageous (they kill you harder). As such, it's recommended that you make sure your body is sufficiently upgraded before moving on to the next level.
