Turbo Snake built with Pico-8

A supercharged version of the classic Snake, designed for high-speed reflexes and tight controls. Simple, but solid gameplay – easy to learn, hard to master.

(Based on a tutorial by Austin Merrick 💛 – original concept kept, but refined for a smoother and more responsive experience.)

Features

  • Snake on steroids – ultra-fast movement!
  • Brake with O, but watch out for the blue gauge: limited braking power!
  • Brake cooldown (the blue gauge turns orange) when the limit is reached.
  • Smart input handling – smooth diagonal recognition for perfect U-turns.
  • Retro scanline effect (can be disabled in the menu).
  • No high-score auto-save... yet!

This game is still evolving! Expect possible tweaks, adjustments, and maybe even new features in future updates.
