AAdder! allows you to start on any one of it's levels. This beta release has eight levels to choose from.
If you've never played Adder! before then you'd be best starting on Level 1 - Plains of Peril. It has no terrain, and is good for learning how to move Adder! around the Play Area.

_CAdder! while starting off as a game of arcade type reactions, will require some use of the grey mattter if you want to keep opening that trapdoor. So, some hints and tips on strategy to get you started...
Always be aware of where you're going to be leaving your body. Cutting off half the screen or leaving yourself in too small an area is usually enough to kill you if you're long enough.
It might be better to wait for a Number Block to decay and a new one re-appear somewhere than to make a grab for it if it leaves your body in an awkward place.
Practice kamikaze-style runs at the wall (and at Adder!) until yu can turn away at the last minute.
Learn to make tight coils with your body. Your body then takes up as little screen space as posible leaving you more room to maneuvere.
If it all gets to much, why not settle down with a nice hot cup of tea?
AAdder! (
) moves around the Play Area, doing his best to eat the Numbered Blocks (
) which will help him grow longer.
Do your best to avoid the Walls (
) as crashing into either the Walls, the edge of the Play Area, or your own Body will result in instant death!
When you reach the Target Length, a Trapdoor (
) will open - reach this without dying and Adder! will advance to the Next Level.
Use the left and right cursors to choose an Adder! option, and Enter to select it.
Start New Game:
Rather obvious this one!
Preferences:
Decide on which Adder! graphics you want, how loud Adder! sounds and which level you can start on.
View High Score Tables.
This beta release only has support for the highest score. Future releases will have a full high score table.
AAdder! will score one point each time he grows - so whatever number is on the Food Block is who much you score.
If you eat a Food Block with a value of 3 (
) you will receive a bonus point.
When you finish a level you will recieve a bonus appropriate to the difficulty of the level.
dvance to the Next Level.

BAdder! is very close to a finished product. and while many features could be implemented, I've decided against them. Mainly because I want to keep Adder! fast and addictive. What is planned is to add the following...
Proper High
Score Table:
At the moment Adder! only remembers the best score. I want a Top 10 of Adders!
More Levels:
I'd like 16 in the final release.
More Emoticons:
See the big icon Adder! on the right of the game screen? That's going to change and react a lot more (like your face in Doom) as you play the game. Why? Because they help the Presentation of the game without having a speed penalty.
Adder! Start-up Wizard:
A walk through of the various features of the game from Adder! himself. Not stricty required, but good presentation!
