How does your game fit the theme?
Inspired by the Ouroboros wich is a symbol of the cycle of life, this is a twist on the classic Snake game—your goal is to guide the snake’s head to touch its own tail to form a loop for points.

The style and audio are both amazing, I love the idea and mechanics as well. I think decreasing the map size would be better since sometimes it takes a while to go to the other side of the map.
It's a fun idea and beautifully visualized! The glowy graphics and snappy sounds really make it pop! If I had to give some feedback I'd like to have a little bit more clarity on how to score points, because it's pretty easy to eat your own tail by just turning around and then walking sideways into it as it passes you, but I'm not sure if that's the inteded way of scoring points? Another suggestion would be to add some obstacles or enemies! Fun Game!
Addictive and infuriating.
Really fun gameplay. Did not expect that an Ouroboros game could be so original.
I've absolutely terrible at this game!
But I respect it and it was fun to try! I'd love a setting to make it faster - like 2 or even 4 times as fast! I think it would actually be easier for me haha. If you keep developing it, I'd try that!
Thanks! I’ll definitely give it a try.
Love the glowy-glowy graphics. The multipier mechanic add more strategy to the game. But i think the map is a little to big. You waste so much time when the orb spaws on the other side.
I’ve been thinking about ways to help players score more easily. Shrinking the map is a great suggestion！
Neat little game!
It's very interesting little game!
Very cool and interesting idea! The game looks great and the music fits the vibe. The gameplay is also enjoyable! The only thing that would have been nice to have is a counter telling me how long my current snake it, that way I would have info to decide if I should convert my snake to score now or try and get that one more length to boost the multiplier.
Thanks! That’s a great suggestion. I’ll definitely consider adding it in the future!
