How does your game fit the theme?
You build up a snake, which is held together by different pieces. If hit, they are no longer held together and split off into different snakes, but are still tied together in their controls.

The thing that made it for me was that the snake could move in two halves. Didn't quite know how close I had to be to be in range, and the attacks seemed to happen at random, but it was still controllable and fun. Great Job.

Till death do us partSimple but quite polished, an interesting twist on the classic snake thing. When they split apart and started moving independently it really caught me off guard =D
It wasn’t a very difficult game, so that could be ramped up a bit (maybe on further levels), but it was fun to play anyway.
Took me a while to notice the saturation of the character colors being an indicator of attack readiness.
Overall, surprisingly enjoyable – good job!

Wrath Of The JarhandGreat game, congrats! I think it's a pretty cool idea with a nice implementation, the only bad thing is that it was imposible to know when your party was going to attack.

Hero of the DesertThe idea is great, I had fun playing this game! But it's pretty hard to tell when your fleet is going to attack the enemy. Looks simple and I got the hang of it on the second try

Cautious VR (Non-VR)Okay. The idea is sooo brilliant, it makes me wish I have had it.
The presentation is not perfect, but the the thing is generally pretty polished and pretty. I think you could make the players and enemies less pixel-y and it would look cooler.
I don't understand how the mage is different from the archer? Also, it is a bit frustrating that you have absolutely no control over the attacks. Maybe you could invent a way to make that work as well somehow. Maybe if we make a big turn in front of the enemy, one of the joints will shoot. Idk.

ScanduntImplementing a shooting button would get pretty wild considering the amount of snake parts you end up controlling, but we've seen some other people express that same interest so I'm sure there's a way to design which'd work...
I think I agree with your point on the presentation as well. If we develop this further we might go down something to make it look more like a flash game or something with hand-drawn pictures. I'm glad you like the idea though, and thanks for leaving such an energetic review~!
I think the presentation ius 80% there. (Ya know last 20% is like last 80% tho xD)
But about the shooting: I) wasn't thinking of a shooting button, cuz that would obviously be waay too OP. But I think there could be a way (though this would only allow for melee attacks. Bows and magic could have a cooldown/ something else instead? But evenm if you only do the melee, the game would be infinitely more fun): So if you do a hard turn close to an enemy, one of your units hit it.
Magic and Bow users could just have another mechanic. I'd love this.
I love the camera shake when we hit a wall !
Great game overwall it would be cool if we could "launch" attacks but it's not a big deal :)

Laser ConnectionMy head exploded when my snake split. Nice twist. Few more mechanics and maybe a bit faster snake and would take it to the next level. Fun game for sure though. Died on the final round unfortunately

LAST MINUTE LAWYERIt got really interesting once the party split. I didn't know at first that eating different fruit meant different party members.

It's just a ball game, man!Very fun idea! Got to the Finale, but it displayed a defeat screen even though I was still controlling a snake dude. Other than that a very fun well implemented game!
Submitted
Split/SliceFantastic use of the theme to build on a mechanic. I love how when the snake is broken you control both parts. Very creative and fun.
Submitted
Shroud PawWow! This is sooo good! The idea is simple but really clever and the presentation is fantastic. I am a big fan of the idea attack cooldown being represented with the saturation of the color.
