the art looks amazing but unfortunately I can't play as I use Mac

Haha level 5 took me a while.  Great job on the game, the level design was awesome.  It was very fun to figure out the solutions. Also loved the art, really cute!

Developer

Hey, thanks for trying out my game and the feedback. Someone else also got stuck on level 5 for quite a while. In hindsight, I probably should have put that level later in the game.

WOW Hahahaha this is so good lmao. The game is so simple and yet, it is addictive. The atmosphere you created with your art style and the music is superb, they really compliment each other to set the tone of the game.

The minor thing is, the game is simple to learn, but there is something in that level 2 that will stop you for a little bit to figure out what to do. Minimizing the instruction is good since it gives a rewarding feeling when the player discovers how the game works, but the way it was presented is kinda not smooth on that specific level.

Developer(+2)

Hey, thanks for playing my game and the positive feedback :) Yeah, I wanted to balance not giving too much instruction and allowing the player to discover mechanics through play. I probably could have done a better job there with regards to pushing the fruit on to your head (given it was so early in the game also). Thanks again.

Yeah but other than that, It is really a great game! Btw if you get the chance, I'd be happy to know your ratings and thoughts about my game too :)

In my opinion this game is the best of the jam that I've played so far. I absolutely love the graphics, music, presentation, puzzles, everything! I haven't actually played Snake Bird which I believe this is heavily inspired by so I'm assuming good faith and that the puzzle ideas weren't stolen. That's how good the puzzles are though. I feel embarrassed that I was stumped for so long on like level 5. I'm going to keep playing this one in the future though! I don't have a single complaint. Thanks for sharing!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for playing my game. I especially enjoyed the video of you playing it. Yes it is inspired by SnakeBird but the puzzles and the fruit pushing mechanics are different. Also, I think you missed that you can actually undo moves (U key) without needing to restart the whole level to save some time :)

Submitted(+1)

Ha! Thanks I actually figured that out just after I finished recording. That definitely will help in my efforts to beat this game.

It's like the snake from the classic game Snake has all grown up and had a family! Super interesting level design. Some stages were more guided to show mechanics while others felt like I had 100 different ways I could complete the objective. Also very happy I tested falling off the world - several- times haha! Nice touch.  I wish I had more constructive criticism to give, but honestly everything is so well done. 

Edit for typos. 

Developer

Hey, thanks for the feedback and trying it out. Happy to know you did the falling out of the world thing :)

Submitted(+1)

Just WOW! I have been playing here games for more then an hour and this is by far one of the best, the game play and graphics are so good.

One minor thing is that is took me some time to realize I can get the apples on my head and I think it would really help if you could put some instructions for that in the second level.  ☺

Developer(+1)

Hi, thanks for checking it out and the great feedback :) I was trying to minimize the instructions and get the user to learn the mechanics with level design. But yeah, I agree that I could have made it clearer that you can push the fruit on to your head.
