I would have longplayed it but for some reason level 10 doesn't give you enough time to collect all the pieces. Not possible? ROM: http://www.gb64.com/game.php?id=6958&d=18&h=0

"Who doesn't know the legendary programs called "Snake" or "Nibbly"?

Even at the beginning of the computer era, they were able to inspire both with their easy-to-understand game principle and with their extremely motivating tasks.

Since then, an unmanageable number of snake imitations have been entering the market, although it is difficult to assess which version really does what it promises the already known game system.

The task:
With the fast snake you have to try to collect as many objects as possible that appear randomly and only for a short time somewhere on the screen. If you have reached the required number, you can try the next level.

General:
- You should avoid brushing against a building or the wall of the enclosure. The result is the loss of a life.
- The same thing happens if you bite your own tail. So make sure to always leave enough space.
- The snake grows the more objects it wraps around it.
Do not be surprised!
- You can accelerate the snake by pressing the fire button. H. certain objects can still be reached in this way before they disappear without a trace.

In the upper and lower corner of the screen there is a display that shows how many lives you can still gamble away and how many parts still have to be collected.

In 2-player mode you can try yourself against a human teammate.
The rules remain the same, but the playing field becomes much smaller.

Finally, two voracious snakes frolic on the screen."
