The first song... It's a remix of the theme from the very old flash game VirtuaWorm, isn't it!
When I was a kid I played the HELL out of that game. To hear it acknowledged, over a decade later... That made my week, man. That's just awesome.
Reviews for "Virtua Snake"

Oh Yes it is! I'm very surprised you recognized it! To tell you the truth, this game was initially Virtua Worm 2, but the movements looked more like a snake and the gameplay is totally different, thus the renaming to Virtua Snake. But it is actually under the "Virtua" series. Thanks for stopping by and playing the game. I appreciate it very much.
Nice game brah, all my 5 r belong to dis

Thank you
At first, I thought I could understand the controls because it was just a game of Snake. It turned out to be a lot more complicated than that. With that being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this! I think my favorite part was probably how you could get a bulbous body and kill enemies with that. There were also a decent variety of enemies. The graphics weren't bad either.
The sound effects were also nice and they seemed to get you hyped up well. I appreciate you putting a spin on a classic game. At the same time, you didn't derail its original premise. It's weird to play a game where you can hit enemies and not get hurt. Even the "virtua' part is cool in the title.

Glad you like it!
The only problem here is that the red laser is underpowered compared to yellow and blue. Also, I miss more powerups, only 5 lvls of upgrade on weapons taste no good. Controls respond perfectly, though. I like "snake body" thing but it would bring more play if it din't follow the same path the head does. It would be fun to be able to surround enemies with your body and then making them explode (just like a real anaconda!)
josh-tamugaia responds:
I thought of more levels of upgrade but that would make the game too easy. Maybe in the next game, I will aim to make 10 + levels of upgrade and not make the game too easy (bigger enemies and such...) Surrounding enemies is also a nice idea. Thanks for the suggestions!
PS: as for red laser, it is deliberately so, at the earlier stage, because when you upgrade it, it becomes really powerful especially when fighting bosses, as it does not spread the laser bullets, therefore IMO more useful than the other two at higher levels.
Great game! Great graphics, nice sound, and interesting gameplay! Irresistably 5 stars.
