Twins of Caduceus

Welcome to the Twins of Caduceus!

Twins of Caduceus is a game that challenges the player to take control of not just ONE but TWO snakes in the classic snake-style retro game. Are you a juggler? Can you pat your head and rub your belly at the same time? Are you the kind of player that plays Tetris while answering Jeopardy questions in the background? This has absolutely nothing to do with that.

You play as the caduceus twins and if you're not careful, you're doomed to spend an eternity stuck to the end of a Hermes staff. Keep those doctors away with a steady diet of apples and remain free. So prepare to tear out that corpus callosum and take control of each snake using a different cranial hemisphere.

Hope you're fluent in Parseltongue!

Optimally designed with a dual 4-way joystick box that's mapped to preset keyboard controls, but perfectly playable on a regular keyboard.

• Right Snake: Arrow keys for movement
• Objective: Collect apples with both snakes while avoiding collisions

Technical Details

The game features a custom game engine built in JavaScript with HTML5 Canvas for rendering, providing smooth gameplay and responsive controls for managing both snakes simultaneously. The challenge ramps up as the snakes grow longer, requiring increasing coordination and spatial awareness to keep both alive.
