Snake Party: General info & FAQ

This was originally posted to the yyrGames forums on Thu Apr 28, 2016 at 12:41 am.

What is this?
Snake Party is my final release on Xbox Live Indie Games, and is a follow-up to Snake360, my first release on XBLIG.

The original, latest, and final version is 2.0, released on August 31, 2016.

They are minor issues that should only affect a small number of players.

Now, the long version that is of course typical of my rambling style:

Multitasking is a game that challenges you to play a continuously-shuffling series of minigames. The catch: you have to play more than one at a time. Up to four, in fact. You will use just a single controller to do this. For an introduction, click here for the official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Le6yh0q2bY

Bungee Ferret Tossing: General tips and scoring strategy

This was originally posted to the yyrGames forums on Aug 16, 2012 at 11:51 am.

Here's some info that will help you out. But ultimately, you'll need to rely on your skills to get those high scores!

Understanding Rank

A number called rank determines some big factors in this game:
- The number of enemies that appear. The higher the rank, the more enemies you'll see.
- The movement speed of both enemies and enemy projectiles. The higher rank goes, the faster all of that will be.
- The duration of the encounters at the end of Stages 4 and 5.
