This is a puzzley game I made last year for a competition (I was one of the top winners, yayeth *beams with pride*)

Basically, it is a remake of Snake/Nibbles in 3D but it is very very different. The objective of each level is no longer just to eat all the pickups, but (as you are the Ouroboros, greek word meaing 'tail-eater') once you have eaten all of the Golden Scarabs littering each level, the tip of your tail will transform, and then you must manouver to eat it, to end the level.
And it's not as easy as that, because trying to stop you will be levels filled with hideous puzzles, anubis guards, water traps (don't stay in too long, you'll drown D: ) and all kinds of hazards mahaha :)

The game comes with 40-odd levels, a "classic snake" version, a fair few secrets and a level creator :o

The biggest complaint I have received about the game is that the controls are awkward. They do take a while to get used to... but I hope it's worth it :) uhm, enjoy.

I also made a much smaller game called Pegbrain the Pirate which doesn't deserve a post on it's own cos it's so small and simple. It's a kind of minesweeper-ish puzzle logic thing... made in about a week.

That sounds kind of cool.... I was always good at games like that. When I get some more time, I'll probably d/l it and set it up.
