Wow, these games works beautifully together. Great job. Had lots of cool moments where we had to take the snake through some path layed by the tetris blocks.

yngvarr 2017-12-05 12:38

@oskarolausson, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

lillybyte 2017-12-05 16:35

I liked the concept for this game... for extra challenge, play it solo. ;)

foomar 2017-12-05 16:49

Really great idea! We had lots of fun playing this. The only thing that felt a bit unfair is when blocks float in the air near one of the spawns after colliding with the snake.

yngvarr 2017-12-05 17:34

@lillybyte, yeah, it's like 2.5 times harder, but still playable. =)

@foomar, hmm, we'll check this thing out, thanks for feedback!

Really interesting idea, had a lot of fun playing it with a friend. Would have liked a replay now button after playing it so many times

amir-bayareh 2017-12-05 22:05

Brilliant! I just played with my self and we had such a great time! haha, no really, it is a very nice combination! Great job!

bryceltaylor 2017-12-06 02:30

@yngvarr only 2.5 times harder? It was ridiculously fun, but basically impossible with one person. I played with a second player later and it was still fun. I wish the snake spawned at a random position at the top. It's possible for the snake to die and become unplayable and then just be in an unwinnable game of Tetris for a while. Really fun, though.

dorblin7z7 2017-12-06 08:18

Really hard to play solo, but a really cool cooperative idea! I think with a few more mechanics (Maybe being able to push apples around?) the tetris player can have a little more to do while waiting for the snake.

asixjin 2017-12-06 08:22

This is amazing! I wish I had someone else to play it with, but honestly it's a little fun trying to control both sides at one time.

yngvarr 2017-12-06 10:14

@ed3187, I remember thinking about "play again" button, but I was too sleepy. Thank you for reminding!

@amir-bayareh, challenging, isn't it? =) Thank you!

@bryceltaylor, ooh, it really is an issue. Thank you for your feedback!

@dorblin7z7, thanks for a suggestion. Snake role turned out to be more dynamic.

@asixjin, well, it wasn't designed for one player, but still can be an interesting experience. Thanks for your feedback.

So simple, yet so elegant. Had a fun time playing.

tmpxyz 2017-12-06 10:17

Interesting coop design. I've never thought of putting these two games together. Good idea.

interpol 2017-12-06 11:08

Wow, the idea is awesome! Coop Tetris + Snake looks nice. It's a very fine concept to implement in online games, I think, with online coop it would be great!

wrexialmt 2017-12-06 12:22

Great implementation, love the simple concept of merging two classics and make them work together. This was one of the ideas i thought about a couple of years ago, but never go around to it, great idea!

dudum-lare 2017-12-06 16:29

Concerning the audio, maybe a music track would be great. It felt kind of empty. But the sound effects were good.

Overall I like this game very much. I had an amazing time playing it. I found it very innovative and creative. I haven't seen anyone else think of this! such an original game. Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

Nice concept! Tetris and Snake are almost first game mechanisms coming to my mind when I saw the theme, while I never thought about combining them together :)

yngvarr 2017-12-06 17:31

Thank you, everyone! It's a pleasure to see your comments here! =)

@interpol, interesting idea, should be challenging to implement. Added to TODO list anyway. =)

@dudum-lare, there is some kind of WIP version of a background tune made by @komnotmr, but we decided not to put unfinished work to a game. Sound can make a game better, but can also ruin it.

bvalosek 2017-12-07 13:43

very cool combo of classic games. nice simple feel overall. would be nice to have AI when only one person is around (but the co-op works great)

idinakloppstock 2017-12-07 13:57

What a brilliant idea to combine these two classics with each other! It works very well. :)

bart-huylebroeck 2017-12-07 14:08

Lovely idea, so simple and elegant! The controls felt a bit stiff and awkward, probably due to low framerate. The two game mechanics work really well together, and I imagine there could be lots of yelling between two "coop" friends :)

blizary 2017-12-07 14:12

good ideia i didnt expect the two games to go nicely together wish i had someone else to play it with me playing both players by myself makes the game very hard xD

jelch 2017-12-07 15:47

Hilarious. Love the concept.

king-kujito 2017-12-07 15:57

Great game well done :-)

felipe-guimaraes 2017-12-07 20:16

Great idea, never though about joining these two games and I'm glad I gave it a go. Had a lot of fun with my boyfriend. The game could benefit of more polishing when you have the time. The graphics aren't great and a fitting music would be good. Nonetheless, very good work. = ]

eliasmarin 2017-12-08 00:29

Great work! Solo is so hard but very adictive!

triastase 2017-12-08 14:55

Cool idea and well executed! I got a glitch where the snake respawned into itself again and again until there was a tower to it's spawn point, but there was no game over or something to handle this. So the snake was just caught in a loop at its spawn, only the controls of the tetris blocks were still working.

Other than that: Fun! :)

josscomposer 2017-12-08 15:17

XD SNAKETRIS !! really cool idea guys... GG !

tolmera 2017-12-08 17:17

Good Game! Totally new take on something old :) nice

jfraser314 2017-12-08 18:26

I didn't play with a partner, so I did not really get the full experience, but great mash-up of an idea! I plan on coming back with someone else to give it a try. There is a little bit of lag on the snake.

diptoman 2017-12-09 09:01

This is a super cool idea, and even if co-op, can be played single player - so props for that! These 2 games work surprisingly well together!

falak 2017-12-09 22:01

Personal best 199. Good luck!

arron-fowler 2017-12-13 21:08

Got to love a collision. I would love to play a polished, it totally deserves follow up development. Good work

tvance 2017-12-13 22:14

Nice mashup of the classics! They both fit the theme and together it's a fresh experience. Very creative.

bryceltaylor 2017-12-14 04:34

Hey, I just wanted you to know that @william-macfarlane and I do a podcast about game design called Side Quests and we just did one about Ludum Dare and in it I mentioned your game! (All good things.)
