Really good take on the theme, quite creative! The presentation is really nice too.

Thank you so much!

A really interesting take on the classic snake game, with wonderful presentation. One thing I definitely think was a bit confusing was the snake spawning; the map might be a bit too big for them, so you go a bit of a while without seeing them. Overall though has a lot of polish and potential! Very cute and charming.

I hear you about the snakes. Thanks for checking the game out though!

I like the concept and the presentation a lot - it's simple to understand and get into, and the art and music/sfx are delightful! But I found it takes a long time to find snakes to then have something other than rocks and pits to avoid - and without a mechanic to sabotage the snakes chasing after you, my interest waned a bit quickly. I'd love to see this developed further with maybe more direct player input and an element of planning/reacting to things to make the experience a bit more dynamic. What's there is really slick though!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Very nice of you!

Elegant and attractive arcade game, best of what I've played so far! As others have said, snake spawning issues did have me scratching my head the first two playthroughs, but the intended experience is responsive and satisfying when you trick a snake into bonking a rock.

Developer

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed the game

I liked the game and the concept. I would have increased the number of snakes to make the game more challenging

This was a fun concept, and the art and music is very pleasant.
I liked the contrast of being a little apple cruising along, then the tension when the Snakes come swimming along.
I noticed that if I went vertically, I could go a very long time without seeing a snake.  Not sure if that was just a coincidence or something about the AI.
Got a 10,000 score.  Dunno if that's good or not.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the weird snake-spawning thing was probably me. We were in a rush to get this in so we spent the last of our time bug-fixing to make it playable. The spawn area should be the entire area around the player off-screen but I made a mistake somewhere and now they only spawn below the player. So for anybody looking for snakes, you'll probably want to head directly downward most of the time. Also, the top score I've seen was like 240000 by a child who I got to agree to the condition of only heading down most of the time so he could get a proper game experience.

This had a great art style and general aesthetic! Only saw a snake once, but even then this will make me rethink playing those barbaric snake games in the future.

nice visuals! i agree with some of the other people, if you keep going away from the spawn point, snakes won't even end up on your screen. looked great tho!!!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

I love the graphics, music and sound effects are also really good! Game over screen lasts too long for me tho. Also map is too big, hard to find any snakes. Other than that, great game!

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Seems like it could be fun, but I couldn't actually find any snakes :(

Developer

That's unfortunate :( But I hope you at least liked how the game felt!

Fun! I like how you can juke the snakes into the rocks.

Thanks!
