play online here!
use the arrow keys to move, Z to undo, X to select, A to bring up the menu, and R to restart. try to collect the scarabs and cross your own path as many times as you can!
this was a bit of a last minute effort, but I think it came out nicely! what started as a snake clone with time-ish mechanics turned into a puzzle game about Ouroboros after I realized I was having more fun tying the snakes into knots than I was with my original idea.
it's not *super* time-themed, but 1. the game's an abstract exploration of the notion of cycles and 2. I implemented a daily puzzle system so you can compete to get the highest score for that day! (it looks like the random number generator might vary between platforms though.)

snake but better
trying to tangle yourself to get points AND then eat yourself is really cool
the graphics are simple but they tell you what's where, and that's all you need in my opinion
the one music track here is really nice,
getting a
knot/7

wow!! I love that this violates the rule of snake, aka don't cross yourself, and actually encourages you to come up with convoluted routes for extra points AND ending by eating your tail is smart! this is so good!
