Scaley Scaler
You are a very long and hungry snake on a journey through a tall forest. Gather food so you don't starve on your journey into the clouds!
Maneuver around the leaves. Eat apples to gain stamina. Clicking the wait button will fetch the next shape at the cost of stamina.

I beat my record, now I'm at 375 feet! But then I got stuck in an inescapable spot again... it's my bad, but it was a shame to see all my amassed stamina go to waste. Maybe if you update it in the future, you could add an extra button that spends 10 stamina to move one tile backwards? That would add an extra layer of strategy and be a huge lifesaver! But anyway, you already made an addictive game, so congrats :)
I really like the idea, it is a nice spin on Snake. I think the stamina is too forgiving. The game doesn't incentivize you to collect apples. But I enjoyed playing it!
One apple equals 5 more moves, and sometimes you get to eat 2 apples at once! I found it to be very well balanced.
Not working?
Sorry it didn't work for you! I have noticed issues on some platforms. On my Macbook the main menu takes 1-2 minutes to load for some reason.
I wonder if they couldn't get it to run at all, of if they struggled to figure out how to place the first tile, like I did. With such a mix of genres, it wasn't immediately obvious!
It still feels a bit confusing that the new piece's head must point towards the existing head, but it may have been too easy otherwise.
I appreciate the feedback! I think allowing pieces to be placed next to the head in any orientation would be a nice change actually.
Thanks for playing!
Yeah, it would feel way more intuitive and fair... and it would make things way easier overall too.
I just made it to 510 feet - for once, I got a new record and lost from the lack of stamina instead of getting stuck!
(Edit: 765, with 115 stamina at one point!)
