Snake game question

Hi,

My problem is not about snake game but it's the best game to explain this. I want to link several sprites to one, at different distances.

I tried with pin rope style, but it's not the same. My game is a spaceship shooter and i need exactly this behaviour:

(1:15, see the little ball that follows the spaceship)

Someone know how to did it easily?

Add physics to the objects involved.

Create distance joint.

From manual:

Physics actions: Joints

Create distance joint

Fix two physics objects at a given distance apart, as if connected by a pole.

No, this doesn't work, if you see the video, the distance between the 2 objects is not always the same.
