Hey all! This is my first little Pico-8 experiment, and like I almost always do with any game engine, a Snake clone was first on the list. I'm not a great artist, so excuse the lack of polish in the sprites ^^
Points by fruit type:
- Apple - 1 point
- Plum - 1 point
- Blueberry - 1 point
- Peach - 1 point
- Blackberry - 1 point
- Bronze apple - 2 points
- Silver apple - 5 points
- Golden apple - 10 points
Each fruit you eat will increase the length of your tail by 1 tile.
Going off the edge of the screen will wrap you around to the other side.
Don't run into your tail, and try to survive as long as you can!
My high score as of version 1.4 is 88 - see if you can beat me!
