reaktron

reaktron is a snake game. Minimalist. Fast-paced. Multiplayer. Online. Couch. Powerups. EVERYTHING! Sometimes, you need to reinvent the wheel reaktron is much more than an ordinary snake game! According to one of the developers - a slightly confused German neuroscientist - you could call it a psychophysical experiment that completely simulates the so-called broesel-physics. But than again, who cares? With reaktron we tried to improve on a widely unknown minimalistic C64 game, which has been described as "one of the best multiplayer games of all times on all formats!" (Lagerfeldt, 2003-06-21). Easy-peasy. So we slightly extended the game mechanics. made it a couch-online-multiplayer game - quite a rare type of game. added the option to easily join and play via smartphone (no app required!). added power-ups, including the infamous and technically challenging REVERSER (it's time-warp mechanism makes reaktron probably the most complex snake game ever). and suddenly started to call power-ups reaktrons (WTF?!).
