  • Snake on a ball! Not a super new concept, but it sure works with the theme so kudos! Maybe my version was bugged -- I could go fully around the sphere in a (nearly) straight line into my own fire and survive, lol! But I see the vision and wish I could explore the other planets, since it started pretty fundamental and empty, and I'd have loved to experience more intricate worlds!
  • An interesting idea, and creative repackaging of snake. I would have liked to see some more depth to the gameplay as I didn’t find it to be all that engaging to play.
  • I'm amazed at how good it feels to drive! The drift is nearly perfect and the turning is just right. I normally don't favor driving games that much but I really enjoyed this submission.

Thanks for playing! To answer the question from the clip, the music was made from premade loops I got from a Humble Bundle and assembled together :)

an unusual idea

It was fun! I unlocked all the planets and I enjoyed the one with the mountains the most! I think this to be a great idea but dying felt unfair (maybe im just bad, u decide) I felt like its impossible to keep track of where I have been because I couldnt see and  there is no mechanic to get me out of bad situations. I was wishing for some high skill drift maneuver through the individual flame instances.

The drifting mechanic gets super fun!

3D snake is such a good interpretation of the theme. Also the way you implemented it with a drifting car is super fun. I was vibing to the music too! Nice work. In the second world I really wanted to be able to launch myself off of the rocks. It wasn't immediately apparent that it was going to murder me haha

I really liked the art and design of the maps. I think being able to unlock new planets creates a challenge for the player.

Nice work! :D

Wow! Love the originality with this! 3D snake! With a more cohesive theming with the assets/music, this game is ready for Steam! Incredible execution on the theme of this jam as well!

This was geniunely so much fun!! I made it to the last planet!! It would be cool if you could spend the money on cars or trails or something so you have reason to keep playing after you reach the last planet! But I really enjoyed playing especially on saturn!
