This was really cool, I liked the concept a lot. It could use some polish, but I really enjoyed it. Good work!
Oh boy, the colors need work. Try using Adobe Color next time, it'll make your design improve drastically. I'm also not a fan of the SFX, way too loud and jarring. Other than that, music was chill, nice attempt!
Thanks for the feedback and the advice !
I really liked the chill vibes, the animation and the crowd. Felt a bit laggy though.
Nice idea and what I liked about this one is that you dont have to move super fast like in other games of this kind, and instead I focused on remembering the patterns and switching sight. My run ended at 1894, tried to make it 2k but you know... an invisible truck
The game was definitely a bit laggy in some cases. We worked on 1080p and 4K screens, and at 4K the game's fps just went away. However at 1080p, we didn't encounter this problem (even tho the mice potentially are causing some performance problems ahahah)
2K is a pretty nice score, at this points the trucks are going very fast, well done!
Very cool idea also pretty hard
maybe for a next game choose difrent colors for ui use someting like coolors.co
That's a pretty cool tool.
We didn't see a problems with the game's color, but many people are talking about it, so it must be grading to a big bunch of people!
We will look into tools like coolors.co for a next jam :)
Tricky at first but fun when you get the hang of it! I might suggest making the switch between snakes a little less abrasive (with the screen shake and sound) and also reducing the cool down on switching a bit. Having the trucks fade out while switching instead of just instantly disappearing was a good addition!
Thanks for the feedback ! We had a discussion about the feedback of the switch and it looks like we made the wrong decision !
Fun and original concept! I really enjoyed playing this, however I was slightly turned off by the screen shake each type I switched snakes. The sound effect and screen shake are quite jarring since I'm switching often.
Thanks for the feedback !
Original concept, though it didn't quite hook me. I think with some more variety and with more polish on the presentation, it could make for an interesting game!
Thanks for the feedback !
This is a bit too complicated, remembering where what is without indication and reacting to the incoming trucks. With a slightly better excecution this could be a cool game, though.
It’s challenging ;)
Fun and challenging :D
The instructions were very clear but the keybinds were a little hard tho. Good job on this entry :)
In full screen, the arrow key and the space bar work. So it’s easier to use.
I really like the concept and it's fun too, got a score of 3194.
The title screen was a little hard to read.
Thanks ! I think we forget to lower the max speed X)
Oh boi this is too hard for me! Nice concept but I don't have enough spatial memory to not slam into trucks!
I would suggest lowering the audio for the truck collision, it's a bit jumpy. And thank you very much for adding Z as a possible control #AzertyGang
Edit: forgot to mention that I loved the mouse spectators cheering on the sides
Yeah were are on AZERTY keyboard so we know it's hard when there is only the QWERTY position available :') So we try to make it good for all keyboard configuration (except the TKL)
I really enjoyed the concept of switching between the two snakes. Maybe adding a solid colored panel behind the text from the menu and the game over screen could help getting a better contrast between the text and the background. Overall a fun game to play, well done!
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the menu is a little bit filled. It will be nicer if we have a button tutorial to link to the tutorial and explication or something like that. To avoid having too many things on the menu.
Ohhh my gosh when I hit my first invisible truck, I JUMPED! Very well done. I don't know how you made snakes so cute, but they are. Great job with the art!
Our guy who draws the snakes is very strong ;)
Really original game, hurt my brain trying to keep track of the invisible trucks lol. Love the surreal vibe.
Yeah, it’s hurt my brain too, but it’s fun ;)
it is quite difficult, but original, nice
I stared at sound for atleast 1 minute before finding the Go! button, otherwise the game is nice XD good job!

I liked it! It's a fun and quirky idea. The mice cheering from the stands were a particularly good touch.
I agree with what has been said already, the game is difficult and the title screen is too crowded. It's still pretty cool though.
Fun game, kept pressing F like crazy. The gameplay was pretty good, my main criticism is actually the title screen, it's... a lot... so many colors and fonts that it took me a while to even figure out where to press to start the game. The actual game is fairly simple, so it could be cleaned up quite a bit and still get the point across. Good work!
Thanks for the feedback !
Were were scared the players would not understand and find the controls.... (And we had no time make a credit scene :') )
Really great solid mechanics and surprisingly difficult! Only managed a max score of 988 and I'm kicking myself every time I got hit - it's really engaging! What's the backstory for why mice are watching two interdimensional snakes get run over by trucks? :D
I think the mice are happy that their predators are being killed by trucks :O
Thanks !
wow, you want the backstory too!?!?!?! XD I screwd up big time on that one for my game! The backstory of mine is that there is a crazy god controlling the character that wants to have fun and it forces the character to complete puzzles.... It's a JAM!!!!!! XD
At first the deal was about mice watching a snake olympics.
However, when the time came to graphically design the obstacles, the only idea left was trucks, because trucks and snake often interact
Head-cannon is that the snakes are in some kind of gladiator arena, in a fight to the death for the entertainment of mice!
