Reload Snake

Reload Snake 1.0
by Joni Pääskynpää

What is this game?
-----------------------
Move your snake through 9 different levels in Campaign mode, or hop into Free Play and beat your previous high score. Eat different kinds of food to grow longer, but beware of the deadly walls! Inspired by games such as Pizza Worms and Slither.io, this game was made with QB64.

How to play?
----------------
Move the snake with the arrow keys or A and D. Controller support is not available at this time. In Campaign mode, collect 10 food items and reach the exit to complete the level. You must complete the previous level to unlock the next one. 

In Free Play mode, freely explore all unlocked levels and aim for the highest score. High scores and unlocked levels are saved so you can continue the game later. To reset the save file, go to Options, choose Reset Save File, and then press Y.

My personal journey
--------------------------
Originally, this game was supposed to be a quick exercise and an attempt to explore an idea I had. It was also a personal challenge: Can I translate my idea into a working game?

The final game ended up being much more than I had initially planned, and it took far more time than expected. Making this game has also been a personal journey of learning good coding habits, creating my own "recipe" for a game, and ensuring a consistent structure from start to finish.

There’s still a lot to learn, but I’ve already gained so much. I also discovered areas where I need improvement, such as graphics and visuals. I’ve learned that coding and technical knowledge are just a small part of what it takes to make a great game.
