your link doesn't work :(

perry 2013-04-28 15:55

Thanks mate, I accidentally linked my computer file. Very embarrassing.

monosacharride 2013-04-28 16:34

this is pretty neat. I haven't played the whole thing yet, is there a difference twixt the red and yellow nodes?

blufiro 2013-04-28 17:38

Love this puzzle concept! Awesome!

hadyn 2013-04-28 18:24

Oh man, the timing gets crazy hard on the longer levels - but it feels great to beat 'em. Nice job!

follett 2013-04-29 03:58

Very awesome! Very hard though. I struggled even early on.

komradus 2013-04-29 03:59

Really nice puzzle, bit tricky at times but good fun.

xellinus 2013-04-29 04:01

Wow. Best I've played yet!

igrowbeards 2013-04-29 04:08

Really nice although i'm too brain dead after my own entry to beat the puzzles properly :P the audio was fantastic, and i like that you took something really familiar and made it into something new so successfully.

vascof 2013-04-29 04:08

I just see a brownish-gray screen :(

vdogamez 2013-04-29 04:09

This is a very original idea, and I really like it. It fits in well with the theme, too. The puzzles are interesting to solve and difficult to play out, although my one major complaint is that they're often made far more difficult than they should be by the game's reliance on being able to act quickly after looping to the other side of the screen. I may just be bad at it, but it took me forever to get past a level that required making a quick u-turn on the first square after looping across the screen, and then doing that repeatedly. Aside from that one source of possibly unnecessary difficulty, this was a very enjoyable game. The noises it makes when clearing the level out were pretty great, too.

roaet 2013-04-29 04:09

I really appreciate this game for it's calming sounds. It is an excellent take on a classic and the puzzles are quite clever. Kind of reminds me of iNudge. Excellent work here.

broxxar 2013-04-29 04:10

This is awesome! The levels are a combination of figuring out the solution and perfectly execute inputs. My kind of game play.

bastiandantilus 2013-04-29 04:12

Neat idea, great sound, great execution. I don't like twitchy snake controls, though.

ddrkirbyisq 2013-04-29 04:13

Awesome. Nice work. Stopped on the level with the diagonal lines with all the wrap-arounds, didn't have the execution finesse to get it. Very nice touch with the audio too, of rcouse.

fuzzywuzzie 2013-04-29 04:15

This would make a great mobile game!

Though "smoother" animations would be nice.. when I first started I thought the game was lagging hardcore or something.

daniel 2013-04-29 05:34

Love the concept, great puzzle game. Nice sounds and visuals as well; well done :)

thristhart 2013-04-29 06:12

good lord these puzzles got too hard for me! made even more frustrating by the quite dissonant sound made by the level-clearing wipe thing. (I think that's a really cool effect though - maybe just drop the dinging?)

otherwise a really fantastic game. Full points on innovation!

trentsterling 2013-04-29 06:28

Man, I am really bad at this! Oh well, its a great game idea!

chobrah 2013-04-29 06:40

Love the concept, very fun and difficulty.

aduros 2013-04-29 06:41

Loved the procedural audio, very polished all around. Maybe it's just me, but the controls seem to ignore quick repeat presses?

soundboy 2013-04-29 06:44

This is totally brilliant, when I realized you were using the grid to generate the sounds as the level is cleared I was floored. Great work!

mollrow 2013-04-29 06:52

Loved it :)

lpcustom 2013-04-29 06:58

This fits the theme and is very cool. It's also pretty hard hehe. This one received my highest rating so far I think. Great use of the theme.

namkcor 2013-04-29 06:59

Wonderful and entertaining, great use of simplicity in graphics, gameplay and music.

san 2013-04-29 07:06

Snake and Portal. A success!

spierek 2013-04-29 07:06

The idea is really interesting (Snake x iNudge) and the puzzles are quite challenging, but I've got a problem with the responsiveness of the controls. Too often the loss is caused by the snake not reacting quickly enough.

loren 2013-04-29 07:09

fantastic job :) Love this idea!

donan 2013-04-29 07:12

Classic snake with a nice touch ^^

sebastian 2013-04-29 07:47

Nice, I like how intuitive it is, the menu screen pretty much explains the entire game in one word and a block of colour.

cory-leach 2013-04-29 07:51

Nice, and very well done.

jijaweb 2013-04-29 07:56

Awesome! Well done.

slimfr01 2013-04-29 07:57

It's look like snake but it is much more fun.

mvt 2013-04-29 07:58

The game isn't lauching there. :/

xgor 2013-04-29 08:00

Nice one, It has a really high difficulty spike at the level shown in the other screen shots but it flowed well before that,

shaircast 2013-04-29 08:01

So creative. snake + instrument!

suese 2013-04-29 08:03

Great use of colour, great sound, great animation, very minimalistic. Whatever gourmet is to food, this is it to video games.

bummzack 2013-04-29 08:11

Very well thought out puzzles and great presentation. I'm really glad there's a slow speed :)

chman 2013-04-29 08:29

Really smart game, great execution. One of the best entry I played ATM, props !

nakato 2013-04-29 08:29

Good game !
Love this snake gameplay with the puzzle objectif !
Great work

jhrrsn 2013-04-29 08:31

Wow. This is so, so cool. Such a great, simple mechanic, and so well executed. The audio is great, I love the way each block makes a different sound when it's cleared. Sweet job!

martijn 2013-04-29 08:51

Simple, yet awesome

tiffi 2013-04-29 09:01

took me a while to figure out whats going on but found it really interesting

hnjslater 2013-04-29 09:35

Good game perry, sounded awesome, although I didn't understand how I was passing the levels at first!

joritan-cety 2013-04-29 09:42

Nice puzzle game :)

tahooey 2013-04-29 09:53

Great Game, I love the puzzles!

diventurer 2013-04-29 09:59

Quite hard to get into, but it was interesting.

hughsk 2013-04-29 10:05

The colors work well together, and the audio too - really nice, and clever :)

toastyabraham 2013-04-29 10:09

Ace - good job!

manabreak 2013-04-29 10:40

Pretty nice game here. Soothing :)

finefin 2013-04-29 10:48

a tone matrix snake puzzler? great concept!

aquilicoco 2013-04-29 10:49

I like it.

Snake++

rujomarco 2013-04-29 10:51

wow this is very nice. simple and innovative.

g 2013-04-29 10:56

Really great, like the new twist on old mechanics and a great interpretation of the theme. Sounds were a little basic but in keeping with the style.

oatsbarley 2013-04-29 10:56

I love the whole tone-matrix thing, and some of the levels took a bit of lateral thinking. This is a really clever game.

ignifluous 2013-04-29 10:59

Best puzzler I've encountered for quite some time. Nifty work, indeed.

frigolit 2013-04-29 11:03

Very nice game, well done!

crynix 2013-04-29 11:11

I'm going to just say it now. This is the best game I've played this Ludum Dare. Fantastic job incorporating the pentatonic scale into your game. It's truly wonderful.

loxo 2013-04-29 12:07

Interesting and fun puzzle game, fits the theme very well.

tinco 2013-04-29 12:48

Great puzzler! It gets pretty hard fast :) I like to get clues before dying, but nonetheless entertaining!

grimpunch 2013-04-29 12:54

I liked it

triforcespark 2013-04-29 13:04

Very good incorporation of music, graphics, and theme, but the difficulty curve is too steep. I'd recommend to try to focus on the puzzle elements rather than the reflexes of the player on the levels.

raincole 2013-04-29 13:33

The pixely effect is great

tiago-ling 2013-04-29 13:55

Nice little puzzle game! Best use of the theme so far! Congrats!

corrigan_sam 2013-04-29 14:20

Very good, I enjoyed it alot!

dedhedzed 2013-04-29 14:52

Very pretty! Reminds me a bit of Lumines. Cool stuff.

pinkmonkeyhead 2013-04-29 15:07

Wow. So good and original. One of my favs

braneof 2013-04-29 15:45

Wow, that's the most original idea I've seen so far. Cool game!

simonchauvin 2013-04-29 15:56

Really great game, innovative take on the snake gameplay and on the theme as well. Everything seems perfect, the sound, the mechanics. Great job!

kewry 2013-04-29 15:57

Great concept!

shines 2013-04-29 16:09

Very nice

roguenoodle 2013-04-29 16:10

Absolutely awesome interpretation of the theme. Tricky as hell though :)

tonic 2013-04-29 16:23

A bit hard to play since it doesn't buffer controls or something. Nice take on the snake game genre!

thirteenwb 2013-04-29 16:24

For some reason I wasn't getting any sound, but that's probably just me judging by the comments. Nice game, it was really fun to play but I had to give up once there were two teleporters and off-edge movements :/ too difficult for me.
Fun game! :)

sab 2013-04-29 16:40

Nice game, I like the way the transitions use the tiles to play the notes, very nice touch. The game is good, nice concept, minimalistic and gets hard! Good overall.

milktoast 2013-04-29 17:02

Great puzzle game!

kiwiboi 2013-04-29 17:15

That was neat, can't say no to puzzle games! ^^ Perfect music!

mrexcessive 2013-04-29 17:42

Enjoyed the tutorial levels, clearly explaining a concept each time. Interesting game. Might be a bug in the first of the 3 green dots (2 top and 1 bottom).. seemed to complete after the criteria was met instead of when it was...

ilovepixel 2013-04-29 18:34

Great concept, I really liked the puzzles

foul 2013-04-29 18:50

I'm voting for a turn based mode +1, or at least a square that will stop your movement

geepit 2013-04-29 18:56

Really cool! Great concept

sparkleswirl 2013-04-29 19:16

Great game. Definitely a nice twist on the snake mechanics. Presentation is lovely too.

dasrkrain 2013-04-29 19:42

Great job! Especially enjoyed your use of audio!

dick_claus 2013-04-29 19:42

Strike. Difficult is good.
Would be cool if some levels have snake longer, this way it would be possible different solutions.

maloki 2013-04-29 20:27

I love how the levels are made, designed to experiment with the blocks. Challenging yet it doesn't punish the player for mistakes. Good job!

girlflash 2013-04-29 20:38

very pleasant, really nails that "ugh it's impossib-waaaaiiiit a minute!" feeling :D

gilmore606 2013-04-29 20:40

Wicked hard! Great gameplay idea.

jellycakes 2013-04-29 20:44

Good concept, fun once I got the hang of it but one of the puzzles got the best of me and I couldn't complete it. Good job anyway.

kortuga98 2013-04-29 20:59

Cool concept, nice execution. Audio's interestingly done as well.

netgrind 2013-04-29 21:30

That was nice, I really dug the blue blocks, they reminded me of my favorite part of the snake game I made. The sounds in this were excellent.

thomastc 2013-04-29 21:33

This game is brilliant! A great concept, well-designed puzzles, beautiful sound... very, very well done. My only complaint is that it's difficult to turn around and double back in a neighbouring row/column, but that's the case for many Snake variants.

ataxkt 2013-04-29 21:34

Nice! Get quite hard, although the slow pace can get frustrating at times. Any web game with audio has my vote!

ray_mickelino 2013-04-29 22:41

Awesome. I like the mechanics. The music got a bit annoying after a while, but overall, great work :)

the-jack 2013-04-29 23:05

Couldn't figure out the level with 3 greens. Solid concept, interesting features & well done with the Chrome deploy.

fullmontis 2013-04-29 23:05

Nice simple game. Really enjoyed it.

gokuhd 2013-04-29 23:07

Very good game, simple and well thought :).

visibleatom 2013-04-30 00:31

This was a really great entry. It fit the theme in a fantastic manner, and everything felt very polished. I managed to beat it, was a bit disappointed that all it did was wrap around, but ... well, but I guess that's part of the theme :)

kylebolton 2013-04-30 01:31

The sound design is great.

theplotlessplot 2013-04-30 02:11

Awesome!
Really, really good!

andrewtwest 2013-04-30 02:44

Very original and fun. The sound adds a lot.

daydalus 2013-04-30 02:58

Really nice original twist on Snake. Love the concept of portals, etc. Gameplay fits the art style perfectly. Great work on this one -

nicosaraintaris 2013-04-30 03:49

Nice take on snake genre. Congrats!

maxszlagor 2013-04-30 04:51

Nice work! Good use of visuals and audio that work well with the theme. Failing is also fun because of the way the sounds play. It wasn't entirely clear what reset the squares on some levels, but I assume it is time.

onlyslightly 2013-04-30 05:00

Loved the simple little melodies you end up with!

cwilloughby 2013-04-30 05:07

Cool - liked the puzzle marriage to music aspect. Nice work.

arrogant-gamer 2013-04-30 05:20

Wow! That got really hard really fast. It takes good advantage of the human brain for sure: when I cross the screen and feel like "right!" and it should be left.

The music and visuals are spot on, and the encouraging music you get when you die is a very nice touch. I felt like the game was cheering me on!

cagedrat 2013-04-30 06:23

Snakes and portals and musical automata. Nice!

smaxx 2013-04-30 07:54

Nice, but I'm not really sure why it only works in Chrome (didn't check to be honest). You should definitely try to get it to work cross-platform, given its minimalism/simplicity and "slow" Animation style.

mchaza 2013-04-30 08:26

Fantastic little game

edocentrique 2013-04-30 08:43

That's original for a snake game !

glisk 2013-04-30 09:13

Really nice game, good concept around the "snake theme" and nice graphics, cool sound effects :D

vincenzo 2013-04-30 09:22

Snake + sound matrix, in a minimalist aspect ! That's fantastic !

nusan 2013-04-30 11:08

Great concept, realy like the sound too. A middle speed could be more enjoyable. Some little glitchs are enoying : on one level i couldnt beat it in fast mode, even if i was doing exactly the same patern than in slow.

theawesomeprogrammer 2013-04-30 12:42

Awesome game, i love how you have made it so simple, you don't need any tutorial, you just get it :D + The graphics is awesome :D

revelorenfield 2013-04-30 13:03

Clean and simple, nice puzzle-snake game :)

cinnamonmelonpig 2013-04-30 13:50

Very nice game! fun, simple and engaging

frosnite 2013-04-30 14:26

Very cool! I like the musical touch very much when the bar comes and play the colored square as if they were notes! Thumbs up!

Funkiside 2013-04-30 14:52

Just a few more puzzles + lvl redactor and its gona be a huge hit at flash game protals.
I love what you did, thanks.

patrickward 2013-04-30 15:04

Wonderful game. I could see myself losing time with this game. The graphics, audio, and game play were spot on.

dick_claus 2013-04-30 15:11

Ребята! Очень классно, но больше чем на четверку не тянет!

elrobo 2013-04-30 20:01

Not what I expected from a snake game, was refreshingly different.

davedobson 2013-05-01 07:38

Very neat game; some levels were difficult to puzzle out, but the simple blocks and tools made sense. Nice simple artwork and cool use of sound. Great entry - one of the best I've seen.

gungnir 2013-05-01 13:38

This game is great, very cool design.

Two issues:
1. The time it takes to reset the level is too long.
2. It's too fast / difficult. I felt frustrated when I solved the puzzle in my head but could not progress due to being terrible at snake :(
I would prefer it with some kind of drawing mechanic or perhaps just a very slow snake.

gungnir 2013-05-01 13:43

Oops, should have tried slow mode. The time it takes to end a level is extremely annoying then though. Still, good it's there.

gungnir 2013-05-01 13:55

Elegant, and genuinely challenging. Great game. I bet you thwarted many exhausted brains ;)

sonnybone 2013-05-01 14:26

GREAT puzzle game! Really neat idea. You nailed the theme completely!

lightnarcissus 2013-05-02 04:12

Interesting take on a game that is all-too familiar to all of us. I'll give you props for that.

saintheiser 2013-05-02 10:23

I impressed with game mechanics!
Clever concept ^_^

redwater 2013-05-02 14:29

Pretty nice twist on the snake game! but i cannot ever wrap my head around wrapping edges :P I fail hard at those games! Sweet how you implemented the audio. I like that a lot.

Also i was finally able to fix my entry, if you like you can give it another shot ;)

granada 2013-05-02 19:32

Nice idea! It's always great to see new ideas over old things.

rykounanba 2013-05-02 20:39

It does work in firefox for me. Also a very enjoyable game.

rafaelsales 2013-05-02 21:07

Very simple, but really interesting. Congratz!

tcstyle 2013-05-03 19:46

Very interesting take on snake. Totally fits the theme. Worked in Firefox, btw.

nseward 2013-05-03 20:25

Nice take on snake. Love puzzle games.

brotherst 2013-05-03 20:26

Great game! Coming back to play this later.

pixelulsar 2013-05-03 20:56

Cool game, I always like snake based games.

sylvain-p 2013-05-03 23:33

Really minimalist. I love it, a mix betwen snake and Chime Super Deluxe (PSN) in a puzzle game. It's a good job.

pabloalexandre31 2013-05-04 02:04

Nice Game!

Jeremias 2013-05-04 09:06

Nice puzzles but the time you must wait after dying takes too long in my opinion.

smilingcat 2013-05-04 18:08

Pretty cool, nice progression and pacing in introducing new concepts to the player.

prelucid 2013-05-04 18:12

Cool. Seems a bit unresponsive. Maybe the dot pausing from the bar's arrival made it felt that way.

zappi 2013-05-07 16:53

Perfect design, guys. And perfect transitions of course.

lasergans 2013-05-07 19:01

Very good! Really like your game :))
Innovative gameplay, a lot of variety, but still simple enough to try out yourself without a tutorial. Really love the titlescreen ;)

pikmin4000 2013-05-08 23:54

creative game! so simple yet fun and full of possibilities. i couldn't keep on playing after the one with the green dots scattered over the room through.

euwaku 2013-05-11 04:37

Sweet little game! Loved the sound effects linked to the puzzle. Glad to see it gets very complicated in the end as well ^^

m-gryko85 2013-05-11 07:03

amazing conxept. As someone said before this would make a great mobile game.

mollymus 2013-05-11 07:37

Interesting idea! Never thought of snake as a puzzle-game!:)

jod 2013-05-11 09:14

Very good audio, loved the sound effects when the screen is wiped. The introduction of other blocks is done quite well.

zccc 2013-05-11 14:29

Great concept, but it took me a while to know what do to do!

madball 2013-05-11 17:03

Had no problems playing in Firefox...
The objective isn`t clear. I didn`t have an idea I have a finite length until the level with 3 dots and no obstacles. The idea, however, is really original, and I liked sounds a lot.

perry 2013-05-12 06:48

The game doesn't crash in Firefox. Firefox just doesn't allow to play multiple audio streams of the same audio data(not sure how to explain it). Anyway, the game is entirely about combining snake with a music board synth, playing the game with firefox isn't playing the game.

ethankennerly 2013-05-12 19:18

Hearing the light musical notes as the scanline crossed the screen enchanted me. Where is the 6-stars button for audio? You composed audio on screen by where the blocks were. Genius! If you continue to develop this, the rules and interactions for solving the blocks started to feel arbitrary after a few levels.

roupette 2013-05-19 15:38

Good puzzle and curve of difficulty ! My brain is like pieces of square now :p.

deathray 2013-05-19 17:47

Nice style (artwork and sound) and nice idea. I never really enjoyed snake, but i appreciate your unique twist on it. 5 for innovation.
