Snek! or snek-gbc is an open source snake clone for the Game Boy, Super Game Boy and Game Boy Color consoles, written in assembly using RGBDS.
Features
- DMG, SGB GBC compatibility.
- Actually works.
- Score, time, # of pauses (to prevent cheesing with it).
- Does not crash at 256 (you cant reach 256, snake length caps out at 255).
- Pretty fast.
- May or may not have a few oversights (sometimes the incorrect tile is used?).
- Decent amount of polish i guess? (cant 180).
- Runs on real hardware (untested actually, but runs in highly accurate emulators).
Installation
This should run on any Game Boy emulator or flashcart.
Controls
D-Pad - Move
A - Dash, Retry
B - Dash, Back to title
Start - Pause
