Fang Bangers – free retro arcade snake byte game

Fang Bangers is a free retro arcade snake byte game that runs in your browser with no install and no sign-up. You ride a motorcycle that drags a growing serpent tail behind it. You get two controls: carve ninety degrees left, or ninety degrees right. Tap the same direction twice for a full one hundred and eighty. Eat six fangs to open the north gate, then ride through it.

Eight neon stages stand between you and the Fang Mother: Dead Man's Curve, Neon Strip, Slick City, Rush Hour, The Gauntlet, Acid Rain, Rival Gang and the nest itself. Dodge barricades, grease slicks, cross-town haulers, acid pools and the Copperhead gang. Scores are kept on a worldwide high score board.

An AI game, coded with Claude Opus

Fang Bangers is an AI game: the code, the stage design, the story panels and the taunt lines were written with Claude Opus, Anthropic's large language model, working alongside a human designer. It runs as a single self-contained page with no engine and no framework behind it.
