Funky Python is a rendition of Snake and, as such, the object is to move the python around the screen, eat food and avoid obstacles and its own tail. Point to a spot on the screen and the python will move to that spot. When Funky eats three of the same colored fruits or insects in a row, they turn orange and are added to his tail. A click of the left mouse button lets him snatch food at a distance with his tongue. As his tail grows longer, it is more challenging to move him across the screen but inches him closer to the end of the level.
