A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

"Welcome, esssteemed guest. Whether you are a fan of ancient or modern art, we hope that you will find something to your dissscerning taste here at ART for Snakes."

ART for Snakes is a single player snake-ish, platformer-ish game by Splerp, Cheeseness, and lcl. Be a snake, eat the most expensive paintings you can before the time limit runs out.

"Our gallery provides snake-friendly access to all floors. Please do not climb on or touch the exhibits (unless nobody is watching)."

Use snake-like controls to move through and leap from painting to painting across a branching 4 course campaign.

"When you've had your fill, don't forget to visit the gift shop to find the perfect sssouvenir to remind you of your visit. There's something for everysnake!"

ART for Snakes is intended to become challenging as it progresses, but for players who'd prefer a more relaxed experience, there is a "zen mode" available that removes time constraints.

It's a fun little game! I'm not much of a skill gamer, but had quite a lot of fun, even started destroying my left thumbstick(8bitdo is rubbish, whatever people claim being great)
using keyboard feels a bit glitchy.

Music is nice, but endings sometimes feel a bit forced since it would help on knowing when time's up, and it catches me on surprise.

It would be nice to see the titles of the paintings and the pictures of them together. 

controls overall are great, there are fun puzzles and some are really hard(well for me, I'm not skilled with a controller)

Art style works, being simple contrasts enough with the fidelity of the paintings, makes them pop out more. (I have a thing where there is a pixel-art style in a game, but it isn't throughout everything, ie UI, menu, backgrounds,...)

Play it, it is free! 

Also free gifts at the end of the run!

found a bug: not being able to screenshot in Win11 neither win-shift-s nor printscreen works (I wanted to show off my highscore a scoreboard would be nice otherwise)

Hmm, what window mode are you playing in (windowed, fullscreen, borderless), and what exactly happens? Does the OS capture a empty image, or does it look like the game is intercepting the screenshot shortcut before the OS receives it?

I'm inclined to say that that's an OS problem rather than a game problem, since screenshots seem to be behaving fine here on Linux, but if we can get a little more information, we might be able to come up with a workaround and/or implement an in-game screenshot funcion.

Thanks for your kind words :D
