Hello everyone this is my first time here, I hope this is the right place to post this. I've made my first game - Pizza Snake - a game for Android, Chrome and Firefox inspired by an old school MS-DOS game called Pizza Worm which some of you may have heard of before.It's a modern take on a classic game style where every level has its own unique gameplay, and touch controls work really well.
I started this game as a hobby/learning java and Android development, and the game was getting really fun so I decided to finish and release it.I've made everything except the in-game font and the sound effects. I haven't used any engine, just started with this tutorial Learnopengles.com and did everything from there.The music I already had in my head from before, but I think it fitted this game. I used Beepbox.co to record it.I've made the graphics using photoshop, which I've already learned a long time ago. Total development time was 5 months working on spare time including a 3 week holiday break in the summer. I learned A LOT, and I'm already thinking of making a new game, and I'm also thinking of porting Pizza Snake to iPhone, but I don't have a mac or an iPhone so that's going to have to wait. Thanks everyone! Enjoy the game and the Holidays! Edited by: inodetelic |

Cool! Looks supersmooth, and Ilike the little details, like the snake digesting ^^ 5 months is amazing for any game done just from scratch, congratulations! Edited by: SinKing --

Thank you very much, I've also had a small email chat with Sami "zorlim" Lehtinen, the author of the original Pizza Worm. We talked a bit about gameplay and he is a very cool guy. |

This is pretty cool. How did you get so many downloads? -- Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming. --Brian Kernigan |

I don't know. My marketing scheme was (I suck at marketing): a youtube video, a website and I posted the game on xda forums and on reddit and my facebook friends. But that wasn't the majority of users. Most users came directly from the play store, so maybe I got lucky, but also it isn't that much comparing to other games honestly. Maybe people search for pizza or snake and find my game, I don't know. |

I like the different levels you designed (especially the pool table). They look great. Unfortunately, I don't have any Android devices, so I won't be able to try it out. |
