we like games with hungry floppy eared boys! the tail makes crunchy sound!
--blanket
Not only did he catch his tail, he also caught my heart <3
A wonderful snake-like game! Really enjoed!
Loved it, super cute, I especially enjoyed the "chomp" sound effects! Does it count as cannibalism though? 😂 Awesome work!
awww
A very sweat and fun little puzzle game. Well done.
really funny concept and visuals, I love sausage dogs (having 2 corgis)
this is a smart idea and great execution
Thanks! Glad you appreciate our doggy as much as we do :D
Feels like a reverse snake game! Nice concept.
Hi! I loved the idea of Willy trying to catch his tail! I got stuck a few times but I appreciated the idea an the flow of the game! And the cit. for moral support make me laugh! Bye, well done
Haha, we had that same idea when coming up with something to do for this game jam, but in the end, we scrapped it. Thank god someone else made it a reality. :D Well done! It's a cute concept.
It's a great idea! ;D
We played with a few ideas, but when we thought of this one we just fell in love with it!
What an interesting concept! At first I couldn't figure out why "you got stuck" is different from the win condition, as I thought I just had to close the loop, not catch specifically the last body segment. Also I wish the map showed a grid, as I often missed my chance to turn because I thought the tile extended further - being able to see exact edges would have saved me some frustration.
Btw, I'd be happy if you left some feedback on our game as well!
I wouldn't touch that dog with a 10 ft poleI really like the idea of Snake but you have to collide with your other end to progress. A timer would have made the game 2x better in my opinion. I know this sounds obvious but the game made me believe that I had to collide with my own body instead of the tail specifically first.
Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! We definitely had a lot of conversations about the tone we wanted to go for for this game, I'd love to have seen where would have taken it with more time - maybe a timer indeed!
Cute puzzle game, the concept is nice and simple to understand. Levels are fairly simple to finish which is nice for a jam, a sweet short experience overall, good job! Oh and that's indeed the goodest boy, so cute!
what a cute little guy
When the sausages are eaten and my tail is caught, I still feel an emptiness... an emptiness that may only be filled by more sausages.
More sausages will definitely fill that void, it's been medically proven
The dachshund makes me laugh a lot XD
Thanks! We had a lot of fun designing him :D
