oiled snake
You are a snake. You are covered in snake oil. Glass is fragile.
Arrows to move. X to reset.
Thank you to '.tanoshimi' in the Thinky Games server for some wise words. A special thanks to anyone who played my very bad prototypes. Made between chores in four days and a morning for Thinkycon Jam 2025. Inspired by talks by Adam Saltsman to use pico8 for something simple and not obvious, and Jagriff for ice physics (sorry for not using the actual talk content!).
This is my first swing at a puzzle game, and feedback is appreciated. It's also my first time with PICO8, which the code makes abundantly clear.

This is cool! The motion took some time to get my head around as it's not entirely intuitive, especially when you move into your own tail, but the puzzles are clever and satisfying to solve.
thank you! into-tail movement is definitely a weird affordance, i would ideally have added some visual indicators but i had built a tower of spaghetti by the time i got to polish lol. i'm glad you enjoyed the game :)
