Snek! or snek-gbc is an open source snake clone for the Game Boy, Super Game Boy and Game Boy Color consoles, written in assembly using RGBDS.

Features

• DMG, SGB GBC compatibility.
• Actually works.
• Score, time, # of pauses (to prevent cheesing with it).
• Does not crash at 256 (you cant reach 256, snake length caps out at 255).
• Pretty fast.
• May or may not have a few oversights (sometimes the incorrect tile is used?).
• Decent amount of polish i guess? (cant 180).
• Runs on real hardware (untested actually, but runs in highly accurate emulators).

Installation

This should run on any Game Boy emulator or flashcart.

Controls

D-Pad - Move

A - Dash, Retry

B - Dash, Back to title
