Snake Reverse

A Snake clone with a twist — 4 modes to master, including Reverse: flip direction with every fruit eaten.

Snake Reverse is a classic Snake clone built as a learning project — the first in a series of small games where I practice Godot fundamentals, game design, and code architecture, with a particular focus on learning a development workflow using Claude Code as a coding assistant throughout the process.
On top of the traditional formula, it adds four alternative modes, each changing how you have to think about survival.

Game Modes

• Snake — The classic experience. Eat fruit, grow, don't hit yourself.
• Reverse — Every fruit you eat flips your direction. Simple rule, chaotic results.
• Enemy — Enemies spawn and patrol the field before disappearing. Touch one and it's game over. More enemies join as you progress.
• From the Wall — An enemy your exact size emerges from one wall and crosses to the other side. More start appearing as the game goes on.
• Reverse Enemy Wall — All of the above, combined. Good luck.

Controls

• Move — Arrow Keys or WASD
• Pause/Resume — Esc or P

In menus:

• Arrow Keys — move between buttons
• Enter / Space — activate the selected button
• Mouse — click, or hover to select

Mute — the speaker button in the top-right of the HUD (mouse only, no key for it)

This is the first release in a personal series of learning projects built in Godot.
I'm not planning to add new features, but if you run into bugs or have feedback, I'd love to hear it!
