Snakpple Ups and Downs

Overall, a really fun take on a classic game!
Thanks for the feedback! I will try to fix the UI.
I like the concept of running away from the snake as it gets longer and longer. Good idea!
Nice take on the theme! The one thing I'm not a fan of is the scoring mechanism - it seems like it's just a matter of a timer - if you can survive longer, you get a higher score which means basically just moving your apple to one corner, waiting for snake, move to next corner, repeat. I didn't really see any difference between hard and easy, maybe the snake grows more quickly but i couldn't tell. Great job submitting !
wow nice game the concept is really cool really like it
wanna check my game?
You have a fun game. the controlls were kind of lacking but overall good game
Fun approach to a snake game -the idea was funny too -great work! :D
:)
Nice game idea!
It would be cool that you could do something to "fight back", not sure how to do it, but i agree that the fun part comes when the snake is bigger!
:)
Interesting twist on the game "Snake" but I wish more was added to the game to make it more unique and interesting
After the jam conclusion I will make a big update with new features and fun stuff :)
Neat idea! I feel like the exciting part of the game happens when the snake is longer, so maybe start with a much longer snake so the player can jump right to the exciting part. Just a thought.
Yes this could be included in the hard difficulty :)
Haha I love that we both had snake style games. The idea is great and it was fun playing!
;) I'm gonna try your game out tomorrow and rate it, it's fun that we had the same... Idea?
Interesting concept, but the gameplay is a bit lacking. Would have been nice if there was one more aspect of “being the apple” that gave the player more agency then simply moving away from the snake. Overall though, nice execution of a relatively original concept.
Thank you for playing my game, in the future i will update the game and add more features. as a game developer yourself what feature will you add to make the game more fun?
Off the top of my head, I would have implemented a system have the apple maybe break the snake in half? And so the apple could continuously break the snake into smaller and smaller chunks which makes it harder to move around but also reduces the snake little by little. To balance this, the snake could grow more quickly or the apple could have to recharge its “attack”. Honestly not a well fleshed out concept on my part but its an idea.
Edit: to clarify, the apple would “die” or “loose” if its touched by snake’s head rather than the whole body maybe?
The original game is simple and I tried to keep it simple and similar to the original. There can be a supercharge after every 10 points collected so you can cut the snake as you said :)
