Excellent entry! It was great all around. It didn't feel too easy or too hard. The abilities gave a nice added level of complexity to a classic game. Given that it is based on a classic game makes it feel very familiar too. Which is great when you're trying to focus on learning abilities.

Really well done! ^^

This was a solid little game. A good mix of Snake, and a hint of Lemmings. Good work!

This is addictive,

Very impressive and creative entry :) the tutorial made the game so much easier and was really well implemented. I think the game has the right amount of juice, too! Like I said, very impressive.

Very solid entry, one of the best I played so far!

  • Cool twist on snake, with cool added mechanics
  • Great difficulty curve with the vines
  • Nice interpretation of the theme and the HP wildcard
  • I'm not really sure if there are any hidden / camouflage elements. Are there?

Congrats, it's an awesome game! :3

Thanks!
I was basically counting the stealth mechanic as the camouflage. It's a bit of a stretch. There's also a secret slightly-hidden game mode.

This is so fun.  I did run into an issue with sunlit glade where the map got cut in half by one straight vine really early into the game effectively game over.  The run from the storm mode was great,  and really highlighted the strengths of this game.

You can jump over and stealth through vines. A single vine shouldn't be able to end your game.

Ohhh that is great, playing this again to try it out.

Cool game, features some original concepts and my favourite thing personally is that it's not as punishing as the original snake.

I had a lot of fun playing this! The music is awesome and it's really easy to get hooked on the gameplay. It's got the perfect balance between familiarity and originality, making it really easy to pick up. Good job!

This is a great game. But I have to ask, is there any tutorial for doing a ranking system like that? XD

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

You're talking about the high scores? I'm sure there are some high score tutorials out there. This game uses my own implementation using my website, but this service is free and lets you create a high score table: https://silentwolf.com/

This is a seriously nice snake clone, with some original ideas to boot, and very polished. Enjoyed it very much.

Very fun game! I love the jumping animation

Nice job done here. Music and Graphics are great and fir perfect together. The controlls are also smoothe and intuitive.

The Ginkapo also remindes me of the Pikmin´s :)

That was a wonderful little game! It was a bit hard to tell where the grid was at times, but all in a very pleasant game. 5 stars

Developer(+1)

Thanks! There really isn't a grid like in classic snake, so you can make some tight turns.

Feels nice to play, like the music. Nice job!

This is super fun and fits with the theme well. The way health is handled and how the vines can cut you down is very cool.

Submitted(+2)

This is really great, simple and intuitive but with some extra things over snake to make it unique. The fact that the vines can move into your line and cut it is really cool.
