Mamba Classic showcase!


I am excited to announce my first showcase video on YouTube! A new snake game with a twist!

It's based on an old MS-DOS game from 1989 called 'Mamba' by Bert Uffen. One of the first games I played on PC, and I played it a lot as a kid! Very addicting! 

In game screens:


Concept & Design:

The concept is that when the snake hits a certain length it turns into stone (rather than getting longer and longer and longer and...), and turns into its original size, leaving behind a powerup that spawns on any of the stone blocks. Also each time this happens the score multiplier increases by 1, thus making it possible to rake in a lot of score.

Multiplayer:


Multiplayer is an option in Mamba Classic! Play with a friend by using the W/A/S/D keys to control one snake and the arrow keys to control the other. A multiplayer scoreboard is in the making, registering total score from both player, thus making it a challenge to work together to get the highest possible score!

High Score Table (still needs adjustments! Not final yet :)


The game is in its final stages of development and can be played soon!
