AxySnake

AxySnake is a CGI/3D game created in 2002 by eXtreme 3D (X3D) as the first 3D computer game. Set up like a three-dimensional movie, the game was created specifically for a PC and a NVIDIA graphics card.

Idea

AxySnake was modled after the origial game Snake, an arcade game. The player must go around, collecting apples, berries, and mushrooms to lift a growth percentage to 100%. Once the snake has fully grown, a key is dropped, the player catches the key, and passes on to the next level.

Timer

Now, the game includes a fun little timer at the top right of the screen. When it starts to get into the red (close to the end of the clock-shaped timer), the screen gets darker and the hidden creature("see below") comes out from offscreen and eats you if time runs out.

Creatures

These are the bugs and creatures that lurk around in the AxySnake world.

Hidden Creature: This little guy hides in the outskirts of the game screen and he and his friends are ready to eat you if you come to close to the sides. You will lose a life when eaten by these.

Crabby: These little bugs hide behind fruits close to the sides of the screen ready to jump onto your head. You lose 2% from your growth span if one of thse bite you.

Spiderhead: These dangle from string of web and will jump on your face if you come under them. You will lose 2% from your growth span if one bites you.

Beebole: These bees fly around waiting to sting you on the head. Lose 3% if you get stung.

Dragon-Popper: These little devils fly around fruits and pop them before you can eat them. They will not hurt you.

Heli-key: This guy drops the key to the next level if you reach 11% growth span.
