Nice take on a classic. played a bit slow on my browser though.

This game reminds me of that old snake game I used to play when I was little.

I was a bit non-fazed at the start but as I reached the levels where the snake has to climb on itself I was very, very pleasantly surprised. It got too difficult for my poor Snake skills, but it's very interesting, well done! :D

Some issues with YES And NO on the "Again" / "NEXt" prompt, but other than that, nice execution of a classic idea. good work.

Like snake but better looking.

Great voxel arts !

Feels like i'm back in the 90s but at the same time it doesn't. it works pretty nicely. i also like the different mazes on the classic version. Oh yeah and the Next button doesn't work.

The worm growth looks really cool. You must be generating that mesh at runtime? I had a lot of fun playing. the only thing that bothered me was the floatiness of the camera was a bit disorienting as the snake moves step by step. Maybe, if you are using smoothdamp, you just need to increase the amount of time it takes the camera to catch up so its not so bouncy. The menu is a bit confusing but otherwise its a pretty game and it plays well. Good Show!

I think this is the first 5-star rating I've given. Enough said. Bravo!

Good game, it was enjoyable. It took me a while to get used to the controls with the static camera view.

Nice made, but it feels a bit like controls arent always accepted?

@internetpaulicy: There are just 2 meshes for turned and not turned state of snake. I bet jam is not the best place to do runtime mesh generations;)
@Darkflint: In fact the only time controls are rejected is when turning causes instant death. I guess it's not so native decision I made.

Wow, it comes with random level, so uncommon for a compo entry.

It's hard to control. Animations looks weird. "Jumping camera" while movement is confusing...

Good game, liked that you can climb some platform. The snake seems more a slug than a snake :P, but the graphics are great apart o this. Great work for a two days game.

4/5
