Ranked from 25 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
At first glance, this game feels like an almost normal Snake game, and nothing can go wrong. Suddenly The Boss appears (something goes wrong) and the game gets harder.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I've copied and pasted my simple generic pool script from another project (26 lines in total)

How many people worked on the game?

That was very unexpected ahahaha. Pretty cool how it went from 2D to 3D. Fun twist in the original snake!

That was much more fun than I anticipated when I saw snake in the title. Very clever approach. Did not have "Snake with physics" on my bingo card for the jam.

Congrats on hitting your 20 ratings!

Wow that was unexpected. What a fun take on the theme and the classic game! I liked that the apples come falling from the tree and your tail blocks there movement. Also, the rocket explosions blow the apples away. I had a blast, very well done :D <3

What a funny game! unexpected take on a classic game!
I love how you warm up the player by having to play the classic mechanic first, then the unexpected, happened XD
I guess it can be improved on the visual, make it stylized would be more lovely to look at.
You can also add more variety of random obstacle to it, make it chaotic!
I'm a bit confused about the control, I keep pressing up and down arrow to rotate. Idk, maybe it feels more intuitive for me to do that :)

That was unexpected and fun :D

Nice take on good old snake. SFX is great, but would be great to have snake movement sfx to give more feedback to the player about his 'presence'. Good job overall. Liked it

Money problem? No problem 👌

This control makes the game much more difficult ahah. The snake slightly blends into the background, which can make it difficult for the player

I play snake sometimes, it's a game for all times. Thanks for this interpretation of an old game.

Nice concept! Found the controls a little hard to get to grips with. Enjoyed my time with it!

Okay cool concept. I found the controls a bit weird but then got used to it. The rockets were a nice addition. Especially it dismembering my body.

Very fun game and a cool idea. You just misspelled "Nothing" lol

Oh, I haven't noticed the missing letter until now! I have a buggy keyboard, I will double-check everything next time.

cool game

RiiveSubmitted311 days ago

Didn't expecting to get bombarded! But I think you could make the movement with all wasd instead of ad because it gets complicated sometimes. Great game.

I've never played "snake" before, personally for me 2 keys for relative direction are better than 4 different keys for absolute direction, but I think I should have added an option to switch the mode, it's easy to implement and I had enough time left. By the way, if you know, do PlayerPrefs work in browser?

RiiveSubmitted305 days ago

Sorry I haven't used them yet and don't know because of that.

RiiveSubmitted87 days ago(+1)

If you are still looking for an answer (after 218 days) yes they do!
