A pretty creative take on the Ouroboros idea, which obviously fits the theme well. The puzzles are relatively simple to understand, yet are satisfying when solved. I liked that you can bite your tale as a choice to attempt to solve the solution you came up with as a mechanic. Good job!

An incredible game, I love the interactable menu, and the overall premise of the game!


My game is a cross between Super Mario Galaxy, and Cuphead, if you have any interest!

Fun but hard Ouroboros game! It has so much polish, from the "NICE" text appearing whenever you complete a level to the dope interactive menu (everyone's favorite thing in a game)! The puzzles are quite fun and challenging, and I like how you have to manually press a button to latch onto your own tail, it doesn't just do it automatically. Overall, great submission!

I find it quite hard, as the snakes are very short. But I still enjoyed the game.

Very polished, nice game feel! Only comment would be that the win condition especially with the yellow balls is not clear, but other than that i really liked it :)

Seems someone had a very similar idea to ours ;)

Its very well done! Especially in style and game feel. The way it looks, being able to push the menu around, the feel of moving around and running in a circle around the objects. Its all really well done and makes the game feel very playful.

The puzzle design seems good, simple enough to understand, complex enough to be challenging, and there’s probably a lot more complexity waiting I didn’t get super far into it.

I finally get what it feels like when a dog chases its own tail! Pretty wild—there I was, frantically chasing after my snake tail. Surprisingly, this game stirred up a mix of frustration and a little bit of anxiety—which, honestly, was kind of a good thing here.

Very nice and challenging game, I enjoyed it very much.

the visual style is pretty cool  and the puzzles are fine i just wish the snake was just a tiny bit longer so that biting your tail wasn't so tight of a timing.

there are quite a few games (including mine) about ouroborosing, making it physics based instead of on a grid is a very good twist on the format

from my understanding of the win condition i think it would help if the green and yellow circles also had a marking that showed rotation, just not directionally, like a white square or something

Pretty fun idea, and the presentation feels quite clean and polished, I've been stuck at level 5 with the movable yellow orb and the snake like circling itself really slowly for some reason compared to previous levels. Overall a pretty enjoyable game!

Really cool concept! I definitely loved your theming and how simple all the art was, it honestly felt like a super polished game! The levels were a challenge but managed to get through all of them :)
