Really creative game! Had a lot of fun with it, and some great art work!

The art is amazing and Jörgmungand is so cute! The runes activation were a bit confusing to me, but it was a nice experience nonetheless. Great job!

Yeaaaah, the runes are not that visible. We want to modify this in a later version ! Our organisation during the jam was not pretty good to work on that earlier. Thanks for the feedback !

I love the music and art and the main mechanic is pretty original!

I had a lot of fun playing this one. The game crashed on browser the first time I played, not sure what happened there. But I beat it on the second try, and I really enjoyed the music and artwork. Great work!

Developer (1 edit)

Oh ! Its surprising ! We had no crashes and the game runned cleanly on our browser when we tested on Itch. Its something to dig... What browser did you use ?

Nice game! The expanding map design is clever—it even fits last year’s theme. But since the player can't pass through themselves anyway, the “fail on touching your own body” rule might not be necessary. Removing it could make situations like biting your own tail easier to handle and less strict on collision checks.

Too bad there are only 7 levels — I wanted to play more!

Great game overall — I’d love to have a button to turn off the music.

Very nice work on the sound and visuals. I was surprised and I really liked the little twist via the puzzles. Impressive work done on the different levels :D

Developer

Thanks you a lot ! The twist spark in our minds and we were trilled to add it to the game :3

Developer

Thanks, the pleasure is shared :D

This was super fun! I loved the fresh puzzler take on the snake game genre, it gets so challenging on the later levels. I love how the scale changes each time too it feels like great progression. The art is super lovely too, I really like the UI element along the top of the game.

Developer

Thanks you very much !!! Your feedback is so sweet ! Happy to know peoples are happy with the ingame progression !

Awesome take on the "snake follows mouse" genre, I went in thinking it would be about mouse dexterity, then thought it would be about puzzles, and was amazed when it blended both skills. I was a little frustrated by the beginning levels (I must have chose the wrong 3 to go for) but that melted away very quickly with the later levels, they were just so much fun (though i semi-softlocked myself). 

The audio was great, the art was nice, and the level design was solid. The story was a nice touch too. 

As others said, my jaw simply dropped when the levels just kept expanding. I don't know how you guys did it, but that transition was just seamless and buttery smooth, definitely a highlight of the jam, and one which I will point people to in the future.

Developer

Oh god, what a feedback !!! Thank you so much for your kind words (i understand the semi-softlock, we try to avoid it but it was hard) ! I'm very happy to see the matriochka doll effect of our levels work on you and make you happy !!! Fun fact about it, its simply a zoom out of the camera at the same time as the scale of the snake increases !

Cool twist on snake! The bgm is nice fitting and it's really cool that all of the assets were made by the team. Chasing your own tail is really funny and silly I love it heh.

ok, I did not expect the map to keep growing. nice job!

Submitted(+1)

Supa fun! Love the artwork and pretty polished game!

Nice take on Snake! It's pretty simple, but provide interesting puzzles and situations. Although at moment if felt like there was only one intended solutions, and other times creativity could be rewarded. I guess it must be pretty hard to balance! Also the progression through levels is very satisfying. Congrats for making this game!

Developer

Thk you !!! The game wasn't playable from start to finish until the last Two to Three hours. This made balancing Runes placement and length of the snake hard. Normally, there are three different ways per level to complete it and grow one step further. Some are far more easy than others
