Shahmaran

Shahmaran is an action game based on classic snake gameplay and the myth of Shahmaran, a half-woman, half-serpent creature. You guide Shahmaran across the map, collecting food to grow while avoiding her own body and the map’s edges. As she grows, enemies try to touch her or attack her body segments; successful attacks make her shrink.

Story

When the kingdom’s ruler falls gravely ill, the Vizier reveals himself as an evil sorcerer and summons creatures to hunt Shahmaran, seeking her flesh as a cure. Shahmaran and her loyal companion Jamsab must fight the sorcerer’s forces and defeat the Vizier.

Spells and allies

Shahmaran uses spells and weapons against her enemies. Her head and tail deal damage, earning action points that she can spend to summon Jamsab. He flies to a designated location and drops a tar-filled barrel that slows nearby enemies.

Her abilities include:

• Wail of Shahmaran: an elemental scream that deals significant damage to enemies within range.
• Tornado of Souls: a twister that traps enemies on contact and immobilizes them in its vortex.
• Demon Spirit: a summoned ally that attacks enemies with powerful blows for a limited time.
• Draconic Tail: ranged attacks that launch powerful projectiles at enemies within range.

Enemies

Worms, Spiders and Mosquitoes continually spawn on the map. They try to touch Shahmaran or attack her body segments, causing her to shrink if they succeed.
