Arcade game

Serpentine

Serpentine is a neon 3D take on the classic snake game. Pick a difficulty before you start: Easy lets the snake wrap around the edges at a slow, relaxed pace, Medium adds walls for the classic balanced game, and Hard is fast and tight with no mercy. Steer with the mouse pointer on a desktop, or switch on the on-screen joystick on a phone or tablet, and grow your snake as long as you can without hitting a wall or yourself. The glowing grid, smooth 3D camera and score panel give it a modern arcade feel, and your best score for each difficulty is saved on your device. The game is a single small page that loads instantly and is open-source under the MIT licence.
