Snake Run
You're a normal snake, but when you have a chance to change your life, you make the obvious choice: legs. Now you can finally walk—run even—but, watch out! If you ever fall, you will lose your legs forever. How will you fare, and what will you make of your last chance to stand on your own two feet?
Feeling good about the results of the voting--- #34 for story! I've added a leaderboard, but I'm holding off for now on balance adjustments. Thanks everyone for playing!!!

Really cool artwork and music!
Fun game!! I got up to 25
Simple but very addictive! I was driven to beat Partheas' score, ended on a 76 :)
Dang, really nice! Now I've gotta up my game!
Fun and simple. Great work!
Got 51 on full speed strategy after few warrior ants killed me :D
Fun game. Keep up the good job!
Nice job! Oops, though, didn't mean to make full speed all the time the best option T_T
Sweet game! I like the procedural generated levels it definitely makes it nice and replayable! The enemies that own me the most are the giant line of ants though, they seem like the toughest because you probably need a full head of steam to make it over them right?
I was able to get 29, but I'll be back for some more rounds.
Well done!
You don't need FULL speed, but you do need a bit. I found the biggest thing that got me was not waiting long enough (or waiting too long) to jump them. And if you do come back for more rounds, you can get through the game over screen and start your next round just using the space bar. Really helps get those reps in :)
Ok yes now I am getting much better at the ant lines. I like how the butterflies spawn at random heights to where sometimes its best to duck under them but other times you need to jump over them. Keeps you on your toes :D
Nice game! I managed to get just over 30. It reminds me of Chrome's no-internet game but better lol. You should check out my game for the jam too! https://trex-runner.com
Chrome's game was definitely an inspiration, haha. Going to check out your submission now!
I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong the first couple tries until I realized my goal wasn't to balance the snake, but to adjust his speed for the jumps.
The animations are fantastic! I managed 30 once but couldn't do it again.
Great game, though best I could do is 17
Great art I am just horrible at runners.
Brilliant. Great idea, great execution. Does the snake have a name though? I scored 39 once I got the hang of it.
Haven't thought of a name yet! Might add one in if I get a good idea though. :) Thanks for playing!!
