Jupiter Moon Trail

Chase a moon that circles round Jupiter. Grow a trail of starlight with pixel Galileo while you chase a little moon that keeps circling a solid planet in the middle of the field, in this free snake game.

Twist: A solid planet sits in the middle, and the moon you chase circles it one cell every 4 steps.

Parody. Galileo Galilei has no involvement in making these games and does not endorse them. The character is an original pixel-art caricature.

How to play

Start and steer with the arrow keys, WASD or a swipe. The leader never turns straight back.
A 2×2 planet sits in the middle of the field. It is solid, so steer round it.
The moon you are chasing circles the planet, moving one cell along its ring every 4 steps. Aim for where it is going, not where it is.
Every moon you catch makes the trail longer. The edges of the field, the planet and the trail itself end the round.
Press M for sound and P or Esc to pause. When the round ends, share your score and challenge a friend.

The story

Night after night, pixel Galileo Galilei has watched four tiny dots dance around Jupiter, never in the same place twice. Tonight he decides to stop sketching them and chase one instead, and he names the chase Jupiter Moon Trail.

The great planet sits in the middle of the sky like a striped boulder, and nothing can pass through it. Its moon keeps sliding round on its ring, so he has to guess where it will be rather than where it is. Every catch makes his trail of starlight longer and the sky a little more crowded.
