Looks fun! -- some person on Reddit very addictive! also a great way to train those crank skills. -- some other person on Reddit me and my girlfriend both thought it was good! - YET ANOTHER REDDIT PERSON A little snake clone but with a twist (or crank if you like).
It's a fun and fast little arcade action game that feels really good to control.
You are Noodle, the friendly neighborhood snake, and it's your goal to get really caffeinated and eat all the bananas.
Eat a banana: get 10 points (times your current multiplier) but 3 segments longer.Drink a coffee: increase your multiplier by 0.2 but also speed you up. You get both a short-term rush but also permanently slightly faster.Hit the bounds of the arena: loop around to the other side.Make a sharp turn: raise your multiplier by 0.3 for 1s - risky but extra points.NEW! Eat a melon: get biiiiiiig (and 50 pts).NEW! Eat a pineapple: OUHHH ITS SOUR. The apple pine fuels you. Be invincible. The game currently is an arcade game of getting the best score and longest noodle. In the future, I'm planning to add levels and unlocks.

A note from the dev:
This is my first game in a while and my first game for the playdate. If you purchase this, you're supporting me in creating more games. :) I'm not associated with any studio and I'm just doing this on the side but I think it's fun and I have a whole bunch of other stuff I wanna make for the playdate.
