This is very innovative, and the music is funny as hell! graphics are ok. I cant rate though...

lastleaf 2015-08-24 03:19

Great puzzles! It is fun solving them.

merrak 2015-08-24 06:15

Interesting take on the snake game!

nonentheless 2015-08-24 06:41

Great idea, love it!

dingotime 2015-08-24 06:48

Took me a minute to wrap my head around the idea of snake-style game where there is gravity... and the snake is rigid? Really cool!

candlesan 2015-08-24 06:53

This is fantastic! Really well done!

kaev 2015-08-24 07:04

I LOVE this game. It's by far on of the best games i ever played in a browser. Good job!

nebulaorbit 2015-08-24 10:28

Rated. Good luck!

ksanochka 2015-08-24 12:30

great game dude

bombjack 2015-08-24 16:03

the music is hypnotic :) the game is fun

kaev 2015-08-24 16:44

I already rated it, but i just came back to play it again.

mrdave 2015-08-24 17:44

This is seriously clever. Nice simple consent but so powerful, also you have really good level design.

sepharoth213 2015-08-24 17:47

Wow, really nice mechanic. I'm really impressed at how easy to grasp and how fun it was to figure some of these puzzles out. This demands more levels and more level components, like weight-dependent objects or weight-loss flowers.

The music definitely carries the experience though. Congrats on this great entry!

Best Compo entry I've played yet...made it to the end and rained flowers...can't say enough how much I liked the game...great job!

naytron 2015-08-24 17:56

Cool mechanic and cute clean gfx, level progression / difficulty curve was good also.
Love the idea of an a cappella sound track but it could have used a slightly longer sound loop.
Great game! Wish I could vote but I didn't participate :(

jodizzle 2015-08-24 17:57

Great game! I thought the whole gravity aspect, even though it took me a little while to figure out, was really cool. I like that in the later levels there was a specific order imposed to how you have to eat the flowers, especially when it involved the player treating some flowers as blocks the first time passing through and then backtracking.

I noticed when small graphical glitch: sometimes, when the snake fell parallel to the ground, it would land and then appear to be embedded about halfway into the blocks. This would persist across all blocks until the level either ended or restarted. When it happened, it didn't make the game impossible to play, but certainly a bit more annoying.

Very nice mechanics and physics! I want more levels (and especially that flower you can't access in the last level, YOU monster!) :p

fisilva 2015-08-24 17:59

I had so much fun with this. Very fun, innovative mechanic and great puzzles.

miwuc 2015-08-24 18:05

Awesome game! Very creative, it takes a few moments to wrap your head around the physics.
Love the music, I'd give it 6 out of 5 if I could.
Need more levels!

linkigi 2015-08-24 18:10

I'm loving the soundtrack and your puzzles are fun. Reminds me of snakebird. Cute graphics and mood =]

pixzleone 2015-08-24 19:31

Hahaha, I found that very funny! Idea is also very nice!
One of my favorites :D

riftpoint 2015-08-24 22:17

I really liked it. Very challenging

benjaminsen 2015-08-24 23:47

Great little puzzle game! Fun audio and good sounds.

madameberry 2015-08-25 00:30

so super cute!

voider 2015-08-25 03:20

Very good idea and really fun to play!! Congratulations!

yakka 2015-08-25 08:00

Very cool puzzle game, I cannot go through the 10th level but I love it. However, it reminded me a lot Snakebird: http://store.steampowered.com/app/357300/?snr=1_7_15__13

sebbernery 2015-08-25 20:52

I really enjoyed it.

oadt 2015-08-26 15:56

Really cool puzzlegame, makes lot of fun! I also like your minimalistic style

johnhattan 2015-08-26 16:12

Nicely done puzzle game. Kind of Sokoban+Snake+Gravity. It's a weird combination, but it works and the puzzles get devilish pretty quickly. I could definitely see people obsessing over a 100-level version of this.

dollarone 2015-08-26 16:38

Awesome game mechanic. Very interesting use in the levels. Good job! (+ you're using phaser, yey)

dollarone 2015-08-26 16:41

Yakka: in level 10, go to the first elevated rock, move 1 right, then stand up completely, before crossing the lava!

wavertron 2015-08-27 01:10

Genius little game mechanic there with the snake body. Well done

careless 2015-08-27 09:19

Very nice game, got stuck on level 11. These simple games always keep you playing the longest!

draknek 2015-08-27 11:05

Incredibly similar to Snakebird! But not as hard.

If you've played Snakebird then I do think you should credit it as an inspiration. If not then you should check it out to see an example of parallel invention in action.

Unrelated to that: I would have liked undo/reset buttons.

theindigoalchemist 2015-08-27 19:52

Such a nice game.

reheated 2015-08-29 06:06

Nice puzzles. I laughed at the music!

voidstar33 2015-08-29 16:53

very neat idea. A classic potential to the game. nice simple graphics. 5 for innovation, fun

larzan 2015-08-31 07:54

Genious idea! Very inovative, the snake movement makes for a very new way of making puzzles, you should make a full game out of this (mobile and such)
Best game so far!!!

literal_games 2015-09-01 16:55

Very innovative little puzzle! Could have done with some slightly harder levels, but the ones there were were very fun. Good job!

unept 2015-09-02 19:44

Nice game. Great puzzles. It does look a lot like Snakebird, which I guess takes away from the innovation a bit. But well done nonetheless!

thomcc 2015-09-03 16:43

well, it's a snakebird clone outright, so i can't really give you points for innovation but it's still pretty fun nonetheless.

hexagore 2015-09-03 18:41

I can't quite believe I've not seen a "snake with gravity" game before. Worked really well for me. Nice.

shaunlebron 2015-09-05 14:43

I didn't like the music, but please win the innovation category. love this fresh take on the snake game.

zncatlaw 2015-09-14 20:19

There is something really satisfying about the core mechanic of crawling/climbing. I'm not sure what it would look like, but my heart tells me a Gravity Snake RPG or metroidvania would be really cool... hmm Gravity Snake: Gaiden!

Aww, from reading the comments I regret I played with the sound off (I'm in public and don't have headphones).

nidzakornjaca 2015-09-14 20:26

Pretty cool game, I liked the mechanics though it looks like they are heavily inspired by Snakebird. The graphics are pretty cute too, except the background texture. The soundtrack made me smile, though I feel like the loop is too short. Nice level design!
