Great tag on Snake! The last level is HARD!

Submitted

Very well done game! Really enjoyed both visuals and audio. I do think that it might be a bit too easy. Levels with boxes are a bit too easy. Outside of that, I love the game. Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much! Funny that people seem to be split on whether we went too easy or too hard. Think we need to keep making more puzzles to find that balance.

Submitted

super well made! I'm impressed by how many levels you were able to put out, with each still feeling well crafted and interesting. the art and music is awesome!

This game should honestly be tagged as a horror game ngl

Love how almost every puzzle could be completed with more than one solution to trap the snake. The sound effects and music definitely set the mood damn well.

About the only thing I could nitpick is that maybe the game could have had a better tutorial since I forgot that space did anything, but apart from that I have no complaints on this one. Cool execution of this concept

Submitted

Very Cool!! At some point the movement and the ai just died. 
But ignoring that the game is very well polished, has a very good introduction of mechanics and the idea is interesting.

Submitted

Solid and well done, great atmosphere too. Maybe would have been nice to be able to look at level in peace before it begins, like first move from player activates snake.

Thank you! You forget to ask, why would the Snake wait for you to move first, or are you implying the Apple is a chronomancer capable of stopping time? The implications would ruin the well defined lore we set out for the game.

Submitted

I didn't realize that the goal was to get the snake to bump into a wall but once I did most of the levels became quite easy. I'm still stuck on 14 though but I'll come back to it later. I also didn't realize the snake grew after eating a full apple. I don't think these rules need to be explained because for me it was fun discovering them while playing. I like the presentation, too. Great game!

Developer

Thank you! The goal is actually to settle your differences with the Snake and become fishing buddies, sadly we forgot to add that option.

Submitted

Just what Sokoban needed! Stress! I like it!

Developer

And guns!

Puzzle games should give you NIGHTMARES

It took me a few attempts to realise I wasn't the snake. But when I did, I had tons of fun; the puzzles were simple but fun to play, and the music was fantastic. Overall an excellent and fun entry!

Thank you! Everyone wants to be the Snake, the dissapointment upon realizing you are just the apple is core to the feelings of hopelessness the game is trying to convey.

Submitted

This is such a neat idea ! Very solid and well polished too. Being chased really felt like an indie horror game vibe and I didn't think snake could be turned into one, great job !

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Next time we'll add obnoxiously loud jumpscares :)

Submitted

Great take on reverse snake game! creative idea and fun mechanic! good job!

Submitted

Super solid idea and excellent execution. The puzzles felt good especially closer to the end and the seed mechanic was well thought out.

Submitted

This is a very solid, fun, well-executed game! I love how much tension you can get out of those small spaces with the snake biting at your heels the whole time. Great music and pixel art! I had a blast from start to finish and was amazed how many good puzzles you were able to come up with based on the simple, elegant seed-planting mechanic.

Submitted(+1)

This is great! I love the concept and absolutely ADORE the art and music. There were some pretty difficult and creative puzzles and it was very fun to figure them out! My only suggestion would be to maybe introduce the seeds mechanic with a tutorial, since it took me a few levels to catch on. Great job overall!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked the music! our artist designed the graphics hoping the soundtrack would sound cute; I was very happy to disappoint him :)

Submitted(+1)

great puzzle game for the jam, liked the music! level difficulty varied from feeling like i was cheating to having to use the skip button one time (the level with all the boxes around you) but i thought the idea really worked for the jam! nice work!

Submitted(+1)

It was a bit unclear on who you are or what you need to do.  So much was about the snake I thought I was the snake first. Once I got through the first twl levels, I think I picked up on the flow.

Overall great job on the game and congrats on getting it done!

Nice take on the idea and the level design was really good, the only thing is the boxes sometimes make the levels really easy to beat, but very good game anyway.

Submitted(+1)

The idea and execution was amazing! the puzzle element to this just adds to the experience! while some of the puzzles are just "corner the snake", the level design alone got me thinking of creative ways to corner the snake! great game overall!

Submitted(+1)

The execution on this was incredible! Fighting the snake is such a unique mechanic and its AI strikes the perfect balance of intelligent, but predictable. This is definitely my favorite jam entry I have seen so far. Sadly, I did encounter some kind of bug that caused that game to freeze after I hit retry for one of the stages. Still, an absolutely fantastic game!

Developer

Sorry to hear you encountered a bug, we tried really hard to fix most of the bugs, but seems like we missed one. Im glad to hear that you still enjoyed the game! Thanks!
