Micro Entertainment: Taipan
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This game is part of the Micro Entertainment Pack, a collection of tiny desktop games I developed for fun.
Guide a curiously purple taipan around the map for it to feast on mice (and the occasional cat) -- each time the snake eats, it will grow in length. Don't crash into yourself!
Essentially a clone of the Nokia phone classic Snake.
- Classic Snake gameplay with four different speed settings.
- Seven different maps to play on!
- Supports both absolute and relative controls using the mouse or keyboard (WASD or arrow keys)
- Tiny, unobtrusive graphics and Micro Mode - The game only occupies a fraction of your screen real estate, and can even be displayed in half size on high DPI displays, making it perfect for discreetly playing at work or while watching something on your computer.
Currently I prioritise mac binaries, as that's the only platform I play these games on, but am also building for other platforms. They are written in Rust and have a dependency on C libraries SDL2 and SDL_gfx.

Hi Liam, enjoying the game (especially micro-mode)! Just letting you know that the Apple Silicon version of this game doesn't seem to work on my M1 MacBook Air. It crashes immediately every time I launch it. The Intel version is working fine for me, so no big deal. Just mentioning it in case it's useful to know. Thanks!
That's strange. It works fine on my M1 Macbook Pro. Are you launching it from the itch app?
I finally realised what was causing this. The new universal binaries should work!
Apologies for never replying to your initial reply, I just updated and tried again. It works great now! Thanks so much!
