Not able to play... just shows blank canvas!

There are some neat concepts here! I like the imaginative interpretation of the theme, with use of warps and rotating the world as a kind of "shift"ing. There's something very Super Hexagon-y about the pacing and the rotation mechanic, but this is about a different kind of traversal which makes it a different kind of design problem. Having a few different level layouts that are selected randomly when you respawn would make this more catchy I think, rather than always doing the same level.

Really Fun! Actually made myself the challenge to complete all levels without portals as well - liekd it!

Neat little thing, balanced a bit more difficult than I'd like it, but I had fun anyway!

Made it to the third level? Seems like a deadend. It's hard/fun

Fun game! It reminds me of the super sheep from worms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUV2h4Z0lmo

It's hard!

Hard but fun !

Fun, challenging, eye-catching. I'm definitely going to beat all the levels.

sadly, when you survive your second life, you have to die on the third try... the base concept was still quite good

I like those kind of games! very cool concept! But the camera makes me feel dizzy and I don't understand how to cross the blue line in one level..

namrog84 2016-04-19 01:45

hard to control, maanged to get 2 lines to the same box

dwhiffing 2016-04-19 01:53

It's really good! I can't get past the 4th level, but I really liked it.

Well done!

wow really nice game! i liked the mechanics and the smoothness of the line is really pleasing. its pretty hard to control but other than that nice job!

adsilcott 2016-04-19 14:25

Really fun take on the snake genre! The color mechanic is brilliant

anissen 2016-04-19 18:03

Really nice concept but so so hard! Devilishly hard. I must've played that racetrack-shaped level 40 times before finally giving up. The difficulty curve should be much less steep. I really live the effect that the rotating camera gives. Good job! :)

A bit too hard for my liking

seitnerk 2016-04-20 21:37

nice looking and challenging Game! Spend many trys on the 3. Level but couldn't beat it. But i enjoyed it!
Could image it on mobile devices ;)

eolhing 2016-04-22 11:59

Really nice! This would make a good Trackmania demake haha :)

grayhaze 2016-04-23 13:22

I really liked the idea, but felt that it could have done with a shallower learning curve. The snake moved way too fast to get to grips with the movement and I got stuck after only a couple of levels. With some balancing I could see this being a lot of fun. Certainly not as bad as your description implied, and easily fixable. Well done. :)

dj_pale 2016-04-24 17:57

Very nice idea! The control scheme and difficulty should have been tuned - maybe add health instead?

gamepopper 2016-04-25 12:57

Brilliant idea, it's incredibly smooth and the slithering adds to the challenge. However there needs to be some sort of countdown period before you start, because some levels do not allow time to prepare.

There also need some require some checkpoints, since you can cheat some levels by holding a direction before it starts, having the snake go all the way round to its tail without having to go around the level.

Short, but really nice game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/Q_baWrdQ2o4

flummox2d 2016-04-30 13:56

Really hard to control, but kinda fun. Needs a bit more balancing. Nice work anyways :)

sabina-lis 2016-05-06 01:55

It was really dificult, but i liked it! Maybe since i died so often it became a bit annoying to have the screen shaking each time

damrem 2016-05-09 11:58

Challenging!
