Awww a bugs life soundtrack!!

It's looks fun, but I don't have another player to play it, but cool

I like it. It's simple and could be fun in two player mode. I like the graphics and music.

Only gripe I have is that a single player mode would make it more fun for me.

BTW: I didn't give a high score on theme because I don't really see the shape shifting theme. Looks more like last time's "Growing" theme.

simple, but wonderfully well made game

The game is fun for two players. I found a small mistake in the design. When you collected more apples than your opponent, you can kill yourself and win instantly.

I had no partner to test it, but the mood is so friendly! Good job!

Nice music, cool intro graphic, basic game but fun overall, the collision box was kinda weird some times, but still playable, great! good luck there!

Super Cute splash screen. I lacked a second player so it was over too soon.

pixzleone 2016-04-19 19:58

Cool game!

I enjoyed crushing my room mate in this :D

captainpilot 2016-04-19 20:01

Solid playable game! The link to the theme seems kinda weak - I guess it's that your snake gets longer as you eat. But yeah, that's just Snake ;)

The bug is so cute! Missed that naughty face during gameplay. Lacking 2nd player too, but played with both hands and feels nice. Good luck :)

tried playing by myself since I had nobody else to play with. Great mood and sound. Gameplay was good to from what I could do by myself. Well done!

Very simple game, I guess you didn't have much time for it :)
Nice graphics tho.

I love the start menu, but also the game. Really cool!

2 players games are bad ideas. People usually are lacking co-player.

4 key controls was another dislike. In classic snake you use two buttons and it should stay like this. The rest of the game is average. I feel that character are moving a little too fast. There is a lot of place for improvements so that to make game more wow.

I have very limited internet transfer so I was amazed to see that such game has 100mb. It's a lot for game like this. As I looked through the files I've seen you kept your sprites at full size scalling them to 0.15 in game. This is bad practice. Scale the sprites - this decreases file size.

jcmonkey 2016-04-19 22:28

the game would not load for me. :(

ketura 2016-04-19 22:33

This runs into issues when both players are jamming keys with input being lost. Also apples can spawn on rocks, that's no good.

Competitive snake is a good idea though. Good execution otherwise, I think.

Oh, the sides of the screen taking health feels a bit unfair. Maybe wrapping would have been better?

goffmog 2016-04-19 22:33

The graphics are good and the soundtrack is well produced, well done for putting a game together in such a short space of time. I felt that perhaps this game shows a little bit of why the original snake worked well on a grid system. Also I would have enjoyed a single player mode - maybe with an AI player? Snake AI has got to be a fun thing to do and maybe that should be the first addition to a post-compo version? I enjoyed seeing this.

team-tiger 2016-04-19 22:40

Really good looking with proper polish, but it's odd to not have a single player variation. As mentioned in other comments winning can be had just by dying at the right time and it doesn't really fit the theme well. Though that may be why "theme" was left out of the voting ;)

tompudding 2016-04-19 22:43

Great title screen, and in general the graphics are excellent. Just about playable with one player too :)

voider 2016-04-19 22:58

nice little game, I think it could be more fun if the "tail" of each bug works as wall to the other player (like tron) so a player can make the other loose. good work!

nextreality 2016-04-20 04:25

Overall a nice game, I do love me some good all snake gameplay and the two player and health were nice touches to change it up!

adipson 2016-04-20 06:02

funny ! good job !

edocreate 2016-04-20 12:11

They are so funny... :D

squidblinkgames 2016-04-21 04:43

Fantastic art style, and the pacing actually made it possible to play both players at once. Great atmosphere, put me in a good mood. A bit basic for my tastes, but I could see it being pretty fun given more time and features. Good job!

ployer 2016-04-21 11:56

great graphics, nice sound. well done.

fumiko 2016-04-21 12:43

Really nice artwork on the menu screen and fun little multiplayer game

khanatos 2016-04-21 14:09

congrats for complete the game! Nice concept art for a "semi Compo" game :)

2016-04-21 14:18

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

oliver_mb 2016-04-22 10:51

Cool mood :)

fabraz 2016-04-22 14:13

Two player competitive snake game, works for what it's trying to do. Audio is pleasant. Doesn't push any boundaries though.

kairosxiii 2016-04-22 23:50

Love the art and concept. Wish I could leave one side of the screen and come back out on the other.

fin_nolimit 2016-04-23 22:48

Nice work!!! I like the soundtrack too!!

lochmann-apps 2016-04-24 12:39

Nice concept, i love the music, solid controlls. Good Job! Have a look at my entry too please :)

stokkie 2016-04-25 18:39

This was awesome! Great idea! Gets really fun when the snakes start getting big!

2016-04-26 17:18

i'm still waiting it :D

matiasbontempo 2016-04-26 22:27

I really liked the graphics and music made me feel a little nostalgic!

aaranos 2016-04-30 22:26

The player characters should probably move on grid lines. From what I can see they don't line up some times and you miss an apple despite most of your sprite covering it.

robb_blob 2016-05-04 22:28

Nice graphs and music, it only needs sound effects when you eat apples and collision with rocks!

maekeruu 2016-05-08 05:35

simple but great :D had fun playing it... and it's cute !
