The player controls a snake-like ship moving around a number of mazes chasing three similar computer controlled ships. Being hit by bullets reduces the length of the ships. Ships are destroyed either when their length is reduced to zero or when they collide with a longer ship.

Can't remember where I even heard about this one, but I tried it when deteacher was looking for suggestions and thought I'd throw it in the hat.

 

I don't think it's going to be for everybody, but I really liked the mechanic of "bigger ship wins", and the fact that only shots to the last piece of your ship cause damage. Very unconventional, which means it takes a while to get used to.

Wow, nice score man--you must have been in the zone!

Yeah, in the zone and with a lot of luck on my side apparently. I don't know what to think of this game. I like the challenge of it, but it seems almost too hard and requires a big luck factor too. I didn't notice many patterns in the enemy movement, they are so erratic!
