OK. I got these files ready for my blog. This could get interesting for all of Game Maker users. The first game in the Game 6 Archive is…

Super Snake Biter!

It's an arcade snake game made by Eleanor Wilda for Game 6 America! That reminds me of TRON.

Quote: Michael Rutherford (KoldMonster)
One of the first snake games ever to be made in Game Maker. I tried to play this game, and it rocks!

This game was also made by me, and with special thanks to Wiiseguy at Game Trek.

    Conclusion

    I played this snake game so many times I couldn't get to another level, but I managed of getting higher scores. I made and remastered Mark's graphics and that was a good thing. It's fun to play for 2 players. For snake game fans, you should, definitely, get this one!

    The menu looks so much better than the game. I hate when things are like that.

    Good point!

    well as long as you get better. since it seems like you are struggling with graphics you can always use a smaller window and work with smaller graphics like gameboy games and start focusing on gameplay mechanics and then maybe increase you regular screen size (I'm talking about after multiple games or projects)

    I'll keep focused on that. Sure thing that game developers learn their lesson on visuals.

    Screenshot 4: The snake lost his tail.

    So are you trying to publicize old games?

    Also, reviewing a game that you pitched in on is a bit inappropriate, don't you think?

    koldmonster1 14 years, 3 months ago

    Once a day.

    Maybe, but that's the case. It's appropriate but funny because of the 4th screenshot! LOL.

    koldmonster1 14 years, 3 months ago

    Might've been a slight glitch on the tail, but just part of the snake movement.

    Edit: By the way, there was no excessive content on the 4th screenshot, so don't worry about that. I'll get a rating for "Super Snake Biter" when I make my webiste!

    No one has asked you in this blog yet so I will.

    How old are you?

    Next, I found it quite annoying that the snake is not very responsive, seems like it only turns when I press an arrow as soon and it's done moving into the next grid. Other than that, what everyone else said.

    I'm 26.

    Sometimes you gotta hold one of the arrow keys down for the player to move, just like you're playing Pac-Man.
