Snibble

by @purple-leafy

My daily word game “Snibble” [0] It’s basically snake meets scrabble meets PvP stealing. It’s a novel idea and I think it’s cool it hasn’t really been done before :) The issue is it’s too complicated, the onboarding is dogwater, and the aesthetic is too complex So I’ve spent the weekend fixing onboarding, fixing and relaxing the visuals mix and simplifying mechanics. I’ve also tested LLMs playing the game through a harness I wrote. LLMs get smashed, they can form words and steal, but they lose badly to conventional bots. I’ll be exposing an LLM leaderboard on my next release (hoping this weekend) with links to game replays for the LLMs. Would love for people to give it a try, give me some feedback, and say what you’d love to see on the roadmap.
