Chaotic Snakes joins the Jam!

My wife and I decided some time ago to try our hands at a game jam. She'd do the art and I'd do the programming.

And I think everything - and especially the art - turned out just perfect for the time given (week end). Just look at the fella!

The theme was "Let it Grow!", and Chaotic Snakes implements that theme as a core gameplay mechanic. You start as a small snake head and can collect modular upgrades that elongate your snake. Each module has its own unique abilities, like adding explosions or poison to neighboring segments or shooting crazy projectiles!

You can create some really funny synergies.

The game was also inspired by browser games like agar.io, especially those .io games that fake the multiplayer aspect. This project aims to capture that same experience because although it looks like a multiplayer game, all other players are completely simulated using noise functions.

It was a really cool experience, and I’m really happy with the result!
