I liked the idea and the humor was pretty funny. Had a hard time trying to find any other controls other than arrow keys, but still a good game.

Nice graphics and music. The snake animation and the death animation was cool. Wasn't entirely sure what I should be doing as I couldn't seem to interact with anything other than the chests.

man does the potion even exist? I couldnt find it :/ nice entry though, I really liked the art

skiastra 2017-07-31 19:04

The animations were really nice, though the game was fairly confusing. I saw things like doors and levers that I thought I could interact with, but apparently couldn't.

**_Thanks for playing!_** @eximarus Yes! And you can find it. @skiastra / @taffaz **_No interaction_** :) Could be a TODO **_Added Sneak-View if you want to see the end and cant reach it (^^)_**

Great interpretation of the theme! The idea is very cool but I didn't know how to interact with stuff. I found chests, levers and a book thingy, aswell as many doors, but only the chest seemed to give me more damage. I guess you were short of time but it would've been cool to have the lever activate some doors and the book give you some spell attacks or something like that.

Other than this, I really liked the feel of the game and the concep ;)

Why no mac?

Mmmh, uninteractive levers and doors are frustrating. And the music is a little bit repetitive :p But cool entry anyway !

mennchen22 2017-07-31 21:39

Sure, obstacleinteraction is welcomed! Problem was time :) Will be set on the TODO list.

Thanks for all your comments and critics!

very cool game!

Ughh XNA, hate this thing. Used to make my own 3D game engine on it. Fun game, but I hate snakes. Beside that, there are places with invisible colliders that you cant get past them.

Amazing way to reveal the level, this would make a nice main mechanic for a full steam game.

Fun environment and world, and I enjoyed running around and finding powerups. A little frustrating to die randomly (rather than by snake contact or poor choices), but I guess that was how you expressed theme part. It would be cooler to have more guidance about how to get out, or more good decision points to make rather than just having to play 8-10 times to find the way out. Music was catchy and fun. Nice work!

Looks very fun :) Can't play on mac :(

the executable will not launch on my machine, windows 10.

mennchen22 2017-08-08 07:21

Thank you for your ratings! Thank you for your comment @dob. Have not worked it out, how to make a game playable and enjoyable without dying a lot. This was a problem of my first ld,too.

Will work on a better and nicer experience next time😉

Not a bad entry. Needs some work. Seemed like I got stuck (invisible colliders maybe?) several times. I had to look up MonoGame, hadn't heard of it before so I learned something and need to check it out :)

mennchen22 2017-08-08 11:58

Thank you a lot☺ for 24 ratings, know what to fix and happy about some really nice feedback!

yetman 2017-08-08 18:54

Nice one. I liked the idea and although I didn't hate snakes, now I hate them. The game still needs some polishing (better collision with objects) and more content (let the levers and other stuff become interactive).

Better yet, the title should be "I've Have Had It with These Motherf---ing Snakes on This Motherf---ing Castle!"
