Curvelicious is a fast paced local-multiplayer game that gives the classic snake a fun twist.
Since the popularization of Snake games in Nokia mobile phones in 1998, countless developers have re-implemented that concept. By expanding it and re-imagining it with new concepts, multiplayer gameplay, as well as better graphics and controls, Curvelicious is another such game developed by Filip Strelec.
In Curvelicious, a game built with Phaser, up to 8 players can brawl in the canvas, threading their curves around their opponents. You must try to trap your opponents while you avoid hitting other curves themselves, including yours. The game spawns occasional power ups that players can grab. These are not exactly game breaking – from speeding up or down, changing the thickness of the curve, or clear the whole canvas – but they help keep the game fresh.
The game seems to take strong inspiration from some of the original snake games from the 90s. For example, Achtung, die Kurve! is an 1993 MS-DOS game that works very much the same, but without the power-ups of Curvelicious. That game is also possibly a clone of another 1993 game called Červi.
Regardless of its inspiration, Curvelicious brings a polished, fun experience, with joyful music and smooth graphics and is currently available in Early Access on Steam – try it now!
