Snake Extreme

Welcome to Snake Extreme, a spin on the classic Snake game where in addition to gobbling food and growing your snake, you must also avoid obstacles to earn your high score!

The main purpose of this game is to finally dip my hands into browser-based games. Hope you all enjoy!

PLEASE READ: Make sure your phone isn't on vibrate or silence to enable audio. If running in Safari, the game may load as a white screen. Haven’t seen this problem in a long while, but it can potentially occur. Zooming in and out fixes this issue on a regular computer, whereas flipping the orientation of the phone fixes the issue on mobile. As of now, game has only been tested in Safari and Chromium-based browsers (i.e. Chrome and Opera GX).

6/17/2024 Update: Fixed a major bug that would cause the game to immediately end when started. 

5/13/2024 Update: Added background music to the game. Enjoy the tunes. :]

5/9/2024 Update: Changed the graphics tiles along the bottom of the arena so that the snake visually looks as though it's riding along the edge, similar to the other edges. 

5/7/2024 Update: Updated the effect on the shiny food, making it a bit more distinctive.

5/4/2024 Update: Fixed a bug where the game would stutter when the lightning spheres faded in and out of existence.

5/3/2024 Update: Lowered the frequency on the move sounds so it's less impactful. Increased the starting size of the snake.

5/2/2024 Update: Modified the snake's movement so that its spheres shift into place, instead of vanish and appear. Small input buffer has been added to make movement feel a bit better. Speed is increased to make the beginning portion of the game move faster.

4/29/2024 Update: Game works fairly well on mobile. Buttons are bigger. Fixed some performance issues. Scoreboard is now at the top of the game's window. And the aspect ratio of the game is more suitable for mobile. For now, I'm going to a take break from this project to return to my main project Slayer Knight.

4/28/2024 Update: Fixed a lot of the input lag and got the sound working. Still issues with the sound working upon start up. Will focus on updating the game's aspect ratio and enlarge buttons and text so that it plays better on mobile browser.

4/25/2024 Update: Managed to get touchscreen working, only to find out the sound doesn’t work on mobile browser. Will try and resolve this bug next. Still need to make adjustments to game window so it displays / plays better on browser.

4/24/2024 Update: Implemented screen scaling and centering. Now the game window will adjust itself, depending on the dimensions of the browser. Still working on getting touch screen support to function on mobile.
