Snake game with Ikaruga scoring rules.
-omoikane's game page[1]
Gameplay
A snake that grows in length as it eats fruits. The main difference between this game and common snake games is that the snake can change color by pressing A or B, and can only eat fruits that are of the same color as itself.
Mechanics
Use D-pad to change direction, and A/B to change color.
Use crank to change movement speed.
Ikaruga scoring: Eating three fruits of the same color forms a "chain", which adds an extra bonus on top of the individual fruit scores. Continuing chains will cause the bonus to increase.
Trivia
This game was ported from a text mode game written in Ruby. The original game won the "most playable" award for TRICK 2022.
