A snake game with smooth rotation made for the PS Vita.

With 5 game modes, each with 2 difficulty modes, there are 10 unique ways to play! Customise your experience further with custom themes available in the options menu.

Controls

• Use the left stick, DPAD or touch to control the snake
• Hold X to boost your speed
• Press START to pause the game

To Do

I'm very happy with how vitaSnake turned out. You may see a small update, but nothing major.

• Bugfixes

(v.0.5)

• Added a new main menu screen with selectable options
• Added a "How to play" screen
• Added a highscore system
• Remade the "Game over" screen

(v.0.4)

• Finally a custom icon and livearea have been added. Also made the pause and game over screens look much better.

(v.0.3)

• In this version you can finally lose by biting your tongue, which means this can now be classified as a "video game" cool. Have fun!

(v.0.2)

• This new release is more about the back-end then the gameplay, but START now pauses the game instead of quitting, so that's nice.

(v.0.11)

• No new features or things done, just a little cleanup. The game's textures are now properly destroyed at exit, and drawing the score was moved to the Collectable's renderScore() method.

(v.0.1)
For now the game doesn't have a losing condition, so you can collect as many apples as you want, each apple collected makes the snake longer, like in the classic snake game.

Bugs:

• The current snake length limit is 255, any longer will crash the game

TO DO:

• fix the body parts following logic, so that they travel the same path as the head
• add a losing condition (biting the tail)
• add a main menu, pause menu and a game over screen/menu
