Linux Snipes is a reimplementation of an old text-mode DOS game. You are in a maze with a number of enemies (the “snipes”) and a few “hives” which create more of the enemies. Your job is to kill the snipes and their hives before they get the best of you. 26 “option levels” let you change characteristics of the game such as whether or not diagonal shots bounce off the walls. 10 levels of difficulty (only partially implemented) let you build your skills gradually.
