Hey the HTML link you have doesn't work ;p

Oh, thanks! Done.

looks great, you should check out snakebird if you want to see a fully realized version of this. love the puzzles.

I didn't know about SnakeBird which is indeed very close. Concept still very interesting though.

I liked the sounds (ouiiii :-) ) and overall graphics are simple but nice.

Great job.

Wow, a very nice take on the classic snake game.

Interesting combo here! I thought the first two stages were really fun, i couldn't get past the third one, "Climb and Fall", though. It had a good progression as the beginning, but then just got way to hard for me. Idk if I just suck, but I couldn't stop dying 😅

I like the mash-up between snake and puzzle. It is fun and even got pretty hard towards the end. Short but very nice game!

This is really nice puzzle game! I'm aware of SnakeBird bud never played it. So this game is my first meeting with this mechanics and I really like it.

Ooooh, how interesting! Very reminiscent of Snakebird (which a lot of people have already mentioned), and yet, I think it's not TOO similar! For one, you actually incorporate the Snake part a lot more, where you're moving nonstop and bumping into a wall kills you, so I'll consider this an original idea~ Puzzles were pretty interesting, if not a tad straightforward at times, but the music / sfx is really entertaining. "Whee!"

I've always had a respect for people who attempt to make puzzle games. In any case, well done!

Cool modification of classic puzzle. A couple of them were hard to figure out. Nice gradual teaching of mechanics in the early levels. Good work!

nilc 2018-05-04 22:21

Mechanics look interesting but the realization need to be improved. Maybe it's a good idea to make game more dynamically. Add some traps and circle saws. Levels with scrolling like Lava level in Aladdin.

Top marks on innovation and theme :trophy: Really seamless integration of the genres. The mechanics were very effective and easy to grasp, but hard to master.

Had a lot of fun playing through, great work :)

Thanks everyone!

@elsiana-eaves Thanks for your comment! Here's how to beat that level: `https://youtu.be/lYPhQ2SLaIw` :wink:

@nilc I did want to add spikes, poison and other features but... Time constraints :sweat_smile: I'm focusing more on the puzzle side, but I appreciate your suggestion.

Nice game! As they said, this game has some snakebird in his blood. In the penultimate level there was an optional yellow orb, I mean I could finish the level going up, instead of turning left to pick the yellow thing. Platforming, puzzle and rhythm, 3 genres! I had fun, and maybe there is some potential to create new and interesting levels. Keep working!

gustavo-christino 2018-05-10 03:26

Very interesting! :) I want to play more levels! o/

matita 2018-05-10 11:59

Well executed, mate! Makes me want more levels, keep up the good work!

merlin 2018-05-10 14:01

Thanks, that was really fun :) Cool idea to combine Gravity and Snake and rhythmic movement (with a nice soundtrack). Nice levels, I hope there is more on the way ;)

mza 2018-05-10 14:32

Engaging and interesting :thumbsup: Suprised that you dont have more votes? Hope you make more levels and polish it up!

riordan 2018-05-10 16:01

Really interesting game. I love the way the Snake movement (that slow tile-by-tile one) is used to solve the puzzles. The two genres combined do make some pretty creative puzzles.

With a bit more love on the graphics and more creative, longer levels, this can turn into a pretty decent game. Meeee~ <3

Very nice fusion of puzzle and snake, really liked this one. Puzzles seemed just hard enough. If there's one thing I'd complain about, it's that the music can be a little annoying. Great job!
