Blammo

DOSGames.com Review:  Rating: 2.5
Blammo is a Snake / Tron / Nibbles clone with an additional interesting / confounding feature. You control a constantly-growing snake and try to avoid running into your own tail or your opponent's tail. But you also at the same time control a box, which can clear paths through your or your opponent's tails and leave obstacles on the screen. This is an interesting idea but it feels rather confusing to be trying to control two different objects while also trying to keep track of your opponent's two objects. Your direction also changes at 45 degree angles here instead of 90 degree angles, which is an additional twist. Presentation is as basic as it gets, with simple lines and squares, but it does work as intended and thankfully includes custom control configuration in the program although frustratingly it doesn't save your configuration so you need to do it every time you run the game. (Note: Choose a high speed, probably the highest 99.)
