A downloadable game for Windows

About

This game is a simple snake like game that I made in MS-Dos.  Its got similar tech to the other games Snail Trail Tales 1 and Snail Trail Tales 2 but it has a completely different story this time about a snake.  In this game the snake gains and then loses weight based on the story.  That is different than the first few games which involved a snail trail which never ends.

How to play

Use arrows or wasd to control the slimer and absorb the food.  If you can absorb all of the food then you win!  

'r' to restart

many other keys pause.

Hint: If you want to know how to skip levels look in the Installation instructions for Snail Trail Tales 2 for a secret hint


How it was made

I programmed this in 16 bit real mode using Borland C++ entirely in DOSBox.  It only uses BIOS interrupts.  its only 9,122 bytes and that is including the extra goop Borland C put in there.


Future

Possibly there will be more Snail Trail Tales with different stories in the future.  Possibly the player will have to navigate through mazes in the process.

How to get this running

Its a simple dos .exe or .com file and it runs great in Dosbox or Dosbox-x.  See Snail Trail Tales 2 for more detailed installation instructions
