Sorry I have to remove 2 Stars from the 3 Hours Part

Developer(+1)

Damn you clock - why must you be so punishing :(

Thanks for giving it another shot :)

My rules for time stars

Every started overtime hour is -1 star,  but you still have a good rating.

I have the same rules for everyone I don't want to be rude :(

Developer

JK, I follow very similar rules to time ratings. I am glad I did go into overtime though. Much more of a unique game now - points be damned.

To be honest you have more stars than before your changes since the game is now much better

Submitted(+1)

Shame about time sneaking up on you, but I appreciate the vision you were hoping for. I hope you expand on it post-jam and hoping to see you again in another TriJam!

Developer

After asking if that is alright with the rules I just uploaded a newer version with some puzzle-levels included. Would be great if you checked it out :)

Submitted(+1)

Umm... it's Snake. With rainbow pieces. And an easy mode. I'd be interested to see your post-jam build, but right now I'm sorry to say it's too basic.

Developer

I know - nothing to be sorry about. Just couldn't get it done. I'll upload the post-jam version as soon as the rating is done. I hope you'll try it then :)

Submitted

I think its good you always should try to imagine how much work someone put it. Not everyone is an expert game developer and makes ultra cool games in 3 hours. But I understand what you mean.

Developer (1 edit)

On the other hand the harsh comment motivated me to ask if I can just upload a newer version...sure I am now way overtime with 4+ hours but now its closer to what I had intended - would greatly appreciate some feedback.

Submitted(+1)

Sorry if I was harsh, rereading my comment I see how I could come off that way. I try to give honest feedback but there's a fine line between honesty and cruelty.

Developer

It's fine . I commented on it "just being snake" in my original description but I was just making excuses. There would have been no point to just present snake because I went out of time. Much better to invest a little more time to present something that is more interesting even if it means going on overtime. 

It's not about the ratings after all :)

I don't really understand the goal of the game? Seems cool, but it seems like you just wander the same room for the entire game. Still, the idea has potential

Developer(+1)

Currently it's just classic snake - so the goal is to get as long as possible :)

I'll add the actual levels post-jam.

Thanks for your feedback!

Two words

Spinning Obstacles !

Developer

Uh, I'll add spinning obstacles to the list. Currently I just have fat tails as an additional feature - and teleporters on the list

Submitted(+1)

Spent some time trying to get the colors in the right order, then read the description and found out that's not how it works right now.

Developer(+1)

Yeah - I thought I'd easily recreate snake and then still have time to add the puzzle-mechanics and levels in 3 hours.

As it turns out: I thought wrong. Hope you still enjoyed a nostalgic round of snakes at least :)

Developer

Added some puzzles - much appreciated if you try'd it again :)

Submitted(+1)

Tried the first three puzzles. Third one beat me! Of course I didn't have a lot of time right now, so I might have been able to beat it if I spent more time. Still, very nice!

Just to do the do the joke math teachers like to say


Question : Hoq long was your dev time?

You : 3

Teacher 3 What ? Apples ? Pears ? Bananas?


Jk, I really like the moving snake.

Developer (1 edit)

3 fantasy time units which translates to roughly 3 hours and 15 minutes realtime :)

Corrected it so non-fantasy-people can understand.

Snake's gotta move with the times obviously !

Submitted(+1)

Ahh i know this time unit its really easy to use

1 FantasyUnit  == 1.083 Periodic Hour
