Snake or Food - GMTK 2023

Instructions
--------------------------------------------------------------------

You can play the game in browser or if that doesn't work you can:
Download the file, unzip it and run the "Snake or Food.exe" file to run the game.
To learn how to play, check out the How to play menu in game.

*In the browser version I suggest not going full screen since some of the menus break

About the game
--------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks like a snake game, it plays like a snake game but it's not. Well you're not the snake are you?  How the turn tables.

What is your objective as the food for the snake? To not feed it of course. Sounds easier than it is. What you can experience in the game is the fact that once the snake does not eat the food, it multiplies, making life for the snake easier, but harder for the food.

How did the jam go
--------------------------------------------------------------------

It's my first game jam as a dad, which brought some new challenges and approaches. First of I had a full on baby simulator game ready, but it was probably amusing just to me. And then the classic - even less time.

I made the game in 2 evenings, basically in one, since the first one was used for the baby simulator. I've done most things from scratch, I've reused my scripts for audio and parts of code from others. Can't really talk about 3d models here, but I did in fact hand place the cubes in position, other than what's controlled with the code of course.

*Added last second: Compared to the screenshot there's now an outline to every text to improve readability.
