Snake Quest
Times are tough in the snake kingdom and rent is skyrocketing, increasing each day!
To avoid being evicted from your burrow, you have taken up adventuring to pay the bills.
Food is in high demand, so each day you set out to collect as much as possible.
You can only carry so much food at a time, and you must deliver it back to your chest to sell it.
Getting knocked out (hitting a wall, eating your tail, falling into a river) causes you to drop all of your food and return to the start point!
Your dropped food will remain where you fell... until you are knocked out again.
Once you've collected enough coins to cover your rent for the day (delivered all the required food to a chest), you are rewarded with an upgrade which is carried over into future days.
Controls:
Arrow = Movement
Spacebar = Special Ability (if unlocked)
This is my entry into the Novice Summer Jam Series 2025: Long Jam 2, where the theme was 'Adventure + Retro'.
I tried to marry a retro gameplay with the adventure inherent to roguelike / deckbuilders.
Hope you enjoy
