Synopsis

In Serpentine, you control a multi-segmented snake in a maze; Your goal is to survive and earn as many points as possible. At the start of each level, three enemy snakes will also enter the maze. To complete the level you must eat all the enemy snakes. If an enemy snake has more segments than your snake, you can only eat the segments that form the snake's tail; a collision with the head is fatal! Each time you eat a segment, the enemy snake will become smaller until you can eventually devour it completely. For enemy snakes that have fewer segments than you, you can eat the tail segments or the head segment. Occasionally, a frog will appear in the maze; eating this will make your snake grow. Your snake and enemy snakes will occasionally leave eggs behind; left alone, these will hatch (your eggs earn you an extra life, enemy eggs will hatch another snake). Eggs can also be eaten to remove them from the playing field, so it's usually a good idea to eat enemy eggs before a new snake hatches! The maze changes with each level and the enemy snakes gradually become larger and more difficult to catch.
