I love the game concept: the movement of the snakes is fun, although having some extra lives could be useful since everything goes so fast and the controls are rough. Otherwise, it's a great idea!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is a fun little game, but please consider toning down the bomb flashes. Those weren’t fun to look at, and may trigger seizures in some people.

Outside of that, I feel like the thing holding this game back the most is its car-like control scheme. (Instead of using the keys to move orthographically, left and right “steers” and up and down “accelerate.”) Still not a bad time, though.

Sorry, I hadn't thought about this. If I make a future version, I'll be sure to add an option to not have explosions. Thanks for the feedback! Obviously, the issue with not having the "car-like control scheme", as you call it, is that using world-based movement (eg., W goes up, A goes left, etc.) would be that there is no direction the player is "facing", which is required for shooting/screaming at the snakes (sending projectiles).

I considered early on using a mouse movement, but pointing towards the mouse makes it too easy to aim. Anyways, I'll think about it. Again, thank you for pointing out the distress that the flashes may cause, I will definitely tone them down or add an option to in a future version.

This was pretty dope! frogs are rad, the squiggly wiggly snakes provided a nice challenge, and all the different powerups gave a lot of interesting variety.

Developer

You are absolutely correct; Frogs are rad. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Be sure to play with sound, it makes the game very exciting (;

On theme and on point with the sfx xD Love the aesthetic but it was a bit hard for me to control, might be skill issue idk. But I liked it. Good job :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback; I was also had a bit of trouble with the controls, so don't worry. Have you tried using the arrow keys instead of WASD? I find it makes it easier.
