Mouse/Touchscreen control. 5 stage, 5–15 minute puzzle game about drawing rainbows.

Connect from Red to Violet.

This game is an entry into a snake themed game jam. We decided to interpret this on 3 different levels:

- Year of the Snake: The Chinese snake zodiac represents intelligence and is a time for professional development.  We decided to use that as the base for our narrative on rediscovering why we make art/games.

- Snake the mobile game: The original mobile snake game was essentially a connect-the-dots game where your body was the lines you couldn't cross.  As our narrative was about creating art, we decided to break the game back down to the childhood connect-the-dots picture games and give the mechanics a new twist.

- Snakes as immersion mechanics: From a dev perspective, snake bodies are a unique long rope of hit boxes that are a challenge to make the player feel are an extension of themselves. To really challenge our players to consider the snake body as theirs, we tried to use the whole snake body as a brush to play with.

If the html5 game is lagging, try the windows executable.

Made using:

Gamemaker, Photoshop,  Illustrator,  Chrome music lab and Audacity.
