Impressive Work! Personally, I would not be able to bring myself to develop games in assembly xd but for a QR Game jam it's probably the best choice.
Very well compressed! I also love these games that make you think! So IMO it was also fun! I just had a very hard time grasping the goal at the beginning and the control. J, L seems like an odd choice to me (opposed to a and d or <-,->). Also did not like the colors used that much. It's a preference thing I know but I feel like a better distinction between snake, black, and lights on could have been made.
could you describe further what “doesn’t work” means? like, is it not showing up at all? not properly responding to J/L/space after being clicked into? i downloaded Mint’s 20.3 Cinnamon image and have no issues playing on a live usb
First, I want to say that making a game that runs without an OS is just brilliant. The only way it could be more ingenious is if it included a bootloader, but that wouldn't fit in such a small space.
I did not enjoy this game. Not that it's bad, but the dev has taken the classic snake game and made it where you steer the snake, which is frustratingly difficult. Props for sticking to the limitation, but this may not have been the best choice of game for that. Further, J/L rather than A/D or arrow keys is such an odd choice. Alternative controls would have been just fine, rule-wise, and perhaps made it easier for me to adjust to. In the end, I couldn't.
Still, I love retro games, and snake is a classic.

Great stuff!
Unfortunately, the web version of this game doesn’t work on my machine. I use the latest version of Firefox on Linux Mint 20.3.

Oh nevermind it works now.
By the way i meant that it was showing Firefox’s crash screen. I also tried running it on my secondary computer and it was showing a black screen.
weird! the web build calls out to PCjs, the same as what runs the DOS games on archive.org — maybe their site was glitchy? thanks for the response!
