Nāgarāja: Serpent King
A classic Snake game reimagined in the Western Ghats. Collect soma and marigolds, shed your skin to escape a growing trail, and survive the snake charmer's pungi.
The Idea
Nāgarāja: Serpent King takes the familiar rules of Snake and places them in the Western Ghats. The serpent moves through the forest collecting soma and marigolds, growing with every pickup. Its own trail remains the central danger, but shedding skin gives it a brief way out when the board closes in.
The snake charmer changes the rhythm of the game. The pungi can take control away, turning a simple path-planning game into a fight to recover before the serpent hits its body or the world around it.
The Build
Built in Odin with raylib, then released for the web through WebAssembly. The project is available on itch.io.
