## Description
_Serpenti_ is a kind of combination of _Pac-Man_ and _Snake_. The player
controls a snake (designed more like a segmented bug or larva) and is chased
around a 2D maze by three enemy snakes. The goal is to eat/kill all the enemy
snakes, then the player can advance to the next level, which presents a new
maze.
The player’s snake can move a little bit faster than the enemies. A snake can
pass through itself and enemy snakes can pass through each other. A snake can
bite an opposing snake, with several rules of growing, shrinking or dying,
depending on the bite location and snake sizes. There is one more character
that looks like a small frog, that appears from time to time and jumps around
the maze (it can pass through walls). A snake can eat the frog and grow by one
piece.
Snakes can only grow up to a maximum length, and a snake that is reduced to
its head instantly dies. From time to time, a snake will automatically lay an
egg, losing one piece from its tail. Opposing snakes can eat the eggs (and
grow), and the frog can eat them too. Enemy eggs can hatch into new snakes
during a level (if not eaten quickly). The player’s egg only hatches at the
end of the level, becoming an extra life.
