The 2-button control scheme doesn't translate well to Snake. The drawings are cute. Congrats on finishing a game!

I EAT EVERYTHING!

At first I thought this was just a normal game of snake. (Did I download the wrong version or something?)

But then I hit the green block and realized how much more there was: a really cool combination of a ton of games from my childhood.

The controls were a bit difficult to get used to, but overall, this was a really fun game.

Wow! So interesting. At first, i thought it was weird Snake, but suddenly it turned into another game.
We call it a "Brain Hole" game in Chinese.
I like the wanted level in the third level/stage?
Would love to see more stages!

On Windows 10, it asked me to download something before I played it. I hit no and was still able to play.

Breaks the fundamental runs of snake :(

Very impressive, I wasn't expecting the game to evolve as I played it! Starts out as a very basic game of snake, and then... very interesting.

Great audio and visuals.

I agree, two button controls don't really go well with Snake. Fun game though! Not dying immediately upon hitting something was a refreshing change. I played to a point where the map started disintegrating from the left.

I liked this one a fair bit. The controls are hard at first, but you get used to them. There didn't seem to be much challenge though, even running into your own tail doesn't hurt you or end the game (also, after going for a while, the GUI continued on but the level stopped scrolling... I don't know what happened there)

Thanks for finding that bug! Fixed level scrolling.
Also, thanks everyone for reviews

Vera Nice game, congratulations... Godo times

shared 2015-12-14 11:45

Very nice overall, I expected a basic snake, but the twist to it is nice.

niphram 2015-12-14 11:45

Not much of an innovation, but extremely fun nevertheless!
Great Audio!

sharpfrog4 2015-12-14 11:45

Rampaging as a giant snake is super fun! Excellent!

paraxite 2015-12-14 11:51

That transition caught me off guard. Funny, innovative, and fun! Great game.

The art is pretty cute!The music could use some work but the game is pretty goddamn cool!

exhidor 2015-12-15 21:08

That was a surprise when i understand that it wasn't a normal snake, nice concept, i like it ! The game is really nice to play

banana4life 2015-12-15 21:08

Tankeating snake. Awsome

crucknuk 2015-12-15 21:11

Nicely done for a compo !

phoenix849 2015-12-15 21:11

Simple implementation of a classic theme. I feel it lacks some kind of ersonality maybe. I also found first area controls to be very disorientating.
Finished it though.

anv 2015-12-15 21:11

Well, that escalated quickly! Really nice spin on old classic. Frankly, I was silently hoping for fourth stage, where you would devour entire galaxies. Oh, well.

webfreak001 2015-12-15 21:12

Really nice game. Controls were unusual but easy to learn and I think it was really fun and very crazy.

Rating tells me to rate audio but I didn't hear any audio? (Linux, wine)

EASILY one of my favorite entries. Very rarely do I play through an entire LD game, and this is one of them. At first I thought it was just a shitty snake clone. Then I was like "okay.. scrolling snake?" But then.. I realized where it was going and I was all like "Man OP you better deliver. You better fucking send the military after me." I was not disappointed. My favorite part was eating the law enforcement officers. My second favorite part was boosting a car and eating the passengers.

daveh 2015-12-15 21:16

After the initial few seconds it went places I didn't expect. A fun way to take something classic and expand on it.

yinyin 2015-12-15 21:25

At first I was 'meh' ...

When the screen started scrolling I was 'well okay'.

But when the GTA police rampage chimed in I was *sold*.

That was quite an epic fun blend.

rogberth 2015-12-17 20:41

Nice game! I enjoyed it! I really like how it progressed from start to end. Good luck

silvio 2015-12-17 20:43

that was very funny

decentsauce 2015-12-17 22:38

Sound effect are a bit too loud imo. (Compared to the music)

onepixelmonster 2015-12-19 23:56

Cool idea, well done!

phocker 2015-12-24 08:23

this was one of my favorite games - nicely polished - really neat way to enhance the old snake game - congrats

sorlok 2015-12-26 16:09

Very clever, very fun! I never thought I'd see a snake game with a GTA wanted level meter!

raroadkill 2016-01-01 19:35

Very interesting game. I really enjoyed it

ninos 2016-01-04 14:22

This is an awesome game, i love the concept, took a while to get used to the controles XD

skaz 2016-01-04 14:28

2 buttons was not the easiest way of controlling the snake, but I really enjoyed the game :) Enemy shooting at you feels a bit weird though, as you can't do anything to dodge.

digi_killer 2016-01-04 14:52

Fun =D
