Very funny! the graphics design is smart and the gameplay pretty fluid and basilar but easy to get used to. Well Done! :)

Very pretty game. I loved the graphics and the particles even more. Simple, cool game. Good job :)

Nice! Movement felt good, graphics were good and I love the perspective change when moving! One detail that also enhanced the experience was that the items dropped by the yellow-square-thing remained yellow squares for a while. That made me try to stay close to them, but be ready to move away in case they turned out to be "baddies" :) The score thing could be more pretty/motivating and the "baddies" should have a uniform design element that indicated that they are "baddies". As it is now I just tried to collide in to everything to see if it would kill me or not. You have made a cool game, well done! :)

Nice graphics. Reminds of TRON :)

I loved the simple neon art style, though I think being able to see the opposite side of the cylinder did get a little distracting at times, maybe it should fade out a little over there. I think a little bit of sound would have gone a long way in establishing the mood of the game, maybe some synth music or something to match with the art and pace of the game. Cool game!

What an awesome take on the Snake game! I do have to agree that some sound and music would definitely help set the mood. The graphic style was really cool, and I thought it kinda neat to be playing on a cylinder. Well done!

I loved the cylinder shaped map! The transparent grid texture, combined with the other neon transparent art, set a really cool mood. Well done!

the barrel style space was kinda neat trick. and the speed increase when you pickup batteries. the gfx is nice too. glowing grid as a space is good finishing touches.

Interesting visuals. It's pretty cool that the map is a loop and you can see the other end of the map. The game got pretty tedious after awhile. Moving around didn't feel very good, especially when you speed up when collecting batteries, so that was kind of a conflict between the core mechanic and the goal. Good effort.

The only thing i didn't like was the loading time & the fact that no music was playing!

For not having touched Unity in a while, I think the game still turned out pretty well. Nice work! :)

I liked the neon/Tron vibe you went with for the graphics. The explosion from dying at the end was also really satisfying to watch, made me less upset about losing haha! I will say that it took me some time to realize that the smaller grid-looking thing always in the middle of the screen was just the other side of the map. It was annoying/confusing at first, but after my realization I could tolerate it a bit more since I could see where new batteries/baddies were.

I will agree with some of the other comments that the game started to feel a bit tedious the longer I played. There wasn't much of a sense of urgency to it, which I feel like music and maybe a bit more active enemies could have helped. Still overall though, solid game!

Snake meets Resogun! It was cool to be able to see where obstacles and batteries were by looking at the back of the cylinder. I dug the art style and the overall concept. Being able to destroy bats while invincible was a nice touch. I had maybe a bit too much fun hunting them down..

I absolutely love the graphics of this game. I had a lot of fun playing this, I loved the transparent effect of the game. I had a lot of fun playing this God Job

Very nice worms variation with 3D and a Rez graphic theme, well done :thumbsup:

Very good game! I really like it! Some personal advises for improvement: I've played with gamepad and think I'd feel more comfortable with joystick movement control. Also it'd be great if camera zooms out as movement speed increase so you can see more of what's going on next.

Good luck!

The game is pretty fun! I liked the idea, and I specially liked that you could see the rest of the board in the background -- I think it gives a good sense of strategy, specially if you make more enemies and items.

Definitely needs some bleeps and blops there though.

Thanks for the linux build!

@caranha I'm glad to hear the linux build worked! I didn't get a chance to test it myself :)
