Ahhhhh, loved this variation of snake to be fitted into theme loops. Really solid art and aesthetics. Loved it overall, was fun :D

Submitted

Dang, I am bad at this, but once the zoomies hits it's all worth it - awesome game!!

Submitted

Very fun game

I liked the idea and execution, very nice game "I love the cute dog :D". I made a simple game called Jumpimal, hope you enjoy it :)

Submitted

Very fast paced, I was surprised at first. I was bad but still proud for my 277 score !

very cute art and theme

Submitted

Very nice idea! I love how it's both a twist on Snake and a good take on the theme. The fact that it's a long dog it also very funny and cute.

My only real negative thought is that the tail biting mechanic, while being very interesting and well done, is weird to me as it starts as a very satisfying sequence, and ends up looking more like a level restart, as your position is reset, your length too, etc.
Nothing serious, but since it's kind of the main mechanic, I think it would have been better with an implementation that does not make it look a bit strange. Hope you get my point.

Also, more of a detail, but it would have been cool to have a bit more animations and juiciness. For instance, the squirrels could have a little walk animation (either a two frames sequence or some bounce on the sprite), the bones could also move a bit to make them stand out more, with some VFX on spawn, etc. Nothing serious either, but these little details would have make the game muc better imho.

My comment is pretty critical, but don't get me wrong, overall I enjoyed playing the game and I believe it's a very solid entry! Congratulations!

What an awesome idea. I didn't know I could have so much fun playing a snake-like game. The gameplay is really solid and the zoomie explosions are satisfying to achieve. Thanks to a generous hitbox on the squirrels, the game never gets frustrating, but this doesn't mean it is not challenging. Finally, the audio perfectly fits for the retro vibe of the game and visuals are simple but cute. Congratulation !

Ha ha a lot of fun for a snake game!

Submitted

cool concept! I expected my snake (dog) body to also be able to block the snakes, and that will give me an incentive to get longer
i liked the artwork and the music!

A Snake remake with a dog, not just about grabbing the other square to make you longer, but also having to deal with chasing off the squirrels! Great take on it.

Lovely art, lovely music and sounds and I enjoyed the entire game with how it was presented.

I feel like the chasing of the tail didn't really do much or bring too much saistifaction after the first time, felt like a bit like a way of ending the level where I kinda wanted to keep going see how long I could make the tail, there is definately something there.


Excellent submission!

Submitted

Cool interpretation of the snake game! The visual design is top-notch!

Submitted

I love this game, great execution on the idea! I see we had similar thoughts on "Loop" :D

Submitted

Funny turn on snake, I like the poo-like image of dog when I lose haha. 

In spare time please also rate my game :)

Submitted

Quite a fun game! I wish the controls were a bit smoother but overall, good job! The presentation if very cute.

Submitted

Super cute pixel art! I also liked the twist on Snake, making it a tower defense-ish game. Great entry! :)

Submitted

A very simple game. Everything works as it should. The loop is there and the art is good.

Submitted

Snake… But it’s a dog. A long dog. The art looks great and the overall game feels very polished. Great work.

Submitted

Fun and simple game. Hate it when my dog gets too excited and becomes an ouroboros, but I’m glad to see others have this issue. Good work on the game.

Submitted

such a creative take!  Loved the "SUPER" when the treat meter is full.
