Fun game with potential! The only critique I have is that it'd be more fun if the head didn't follow the mouse so closely. Other than that, stellar job!

fun game but i keep dying randomly :'( good use of visual and sound. it just works.

Developer

Thanks for playing, you do die seemingly randomly and I couldn’t figure out how to make it so you couldn’t go through yourself. Since this is controlled by mouse and my system of hitting yourself sucks, you have to be very careful and try not to move the mouse direction towards the body!

This game is really fun but also incredibly frustrating because if you accidentally jiggle your mouse one single atom backwards (like repositioning it on a small mousepad would cause) you lose because you "bit yourself".  I hit 2k points, which I thought was pretty okay, but I'm not sure lol. How'd other people get along?


-Submitted LEGIONS and Xenon- (Itch doesn't show both)

Developer

Thanks for playing, I understand the frustration in moving your mouse even a single atom back and losing. To be honest, I think I was struggling on trying to figure out how to make it so you can’t go through yourself because without biting yourself you could easily wrap yourself around and eat everything quickly. It takes the previous mouse position and then compares it to the current, and in wherever direction it points at is where it would detect collision

I love the game! It's only to hard for me and I don't know how to defend yourself from the mage.

Thanks for playing, glad u loved the game lol. I think the mage is the biggest threat in the game because you can’t eat the fireballs and he shoots 3 so it is understandable

Developer

Thanks for playing! I agree that it is pretty hard, even for me the developer of the game hahahaha

Id call this game a hidden gem but its really good to see its getting the love it deserves. I really didn't expect this game to be as fun as it was, but its so immediate and fast, simple mechanics and hazards that combine to make an engaging experience! (Update- ive literally returned to this page so many times to play this game, ill be disappointed if it doesn't get top 3 like it deserves.)

Developer

I’m flattered that you would say its a hidden gem and deserves the top 3 lol. I think I just focused on how the player was controlled and crafted the mechanics of the snake in the game (Which is just a trail that detects collisions with a limited length and will not disappear over time if the length is at the limit)! Anyways, thanks for playing!

fun game, i like the idea. The classic snake game was a bit slower to keep you involved for longer. also you get long very quick and it gets hard to not immediately die. but nice sound design and idea. 

Developer

Thanks for playing, I can see that this is faster than the classic snake game hahaha

Really fun game! And the music is 🔥

Thanks for playing and glad you liked the music!

Game looks good and feels good as well as being very difficult.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

This feels like an overall great submission! Music is great and concept hits the theme! The only thing that felt a bit off was that the snake seems to be able to hit itself after the tail gets destroyed (at least that is how it seems).  Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game!

I love the idea and the feeling of the game. The controls are amazing. I only think the fireballs should be bigger, because they are hard to see, and the snake shouldn't get so long after eating one person, because many are coming towards it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I think it would be a good idea to emphasize the fireballs more so people won’t overlook them when playing!

Submitted(+1)

A cool take on a familiar theme - I liked how this felt so much faster than a normal game of snake. The controls with the mouse felt very twitchy and took a moment to get used to - maybe the snake could move towards the mouse rather than staying right locked on to it? (No idea if that would actually work.) The fireballs could be pretty hard to dodge, and I did die to them a couple of times without actually seeing them. That's not too bad a thing though; it helps keep the game quick and keeps the player focused! The sound design was really cool too - great work!

Developer

Thank you for playing!
