This was a fun game to play. great design. Some of the snakes remarks made me laugh.

loved it. would have liked to have more food, but since you also got faster, it was fine in the end. I made it to the finish-screen

Amazing game. Wish it was a bit longer, but that's what you get with Ludum Dare

issac 2018-04-24 15:17

Great effect seeing the pellets pass through the snake when they're eaten

This was incredibly fun. Couldn't attract a mate in the end, but I'll definitely give it another go after I rate a few more. Well done!

Good idea, classic game reinvented. It´s very fun!

2018-04-24 15:27

That was fun to play. I'd love to add something constructive, but it's well made in every respect.

Took me 3 tries to get a mate. I dont know if my decision making is bad or my game skills! Noticed a lot of heads bumping into walls, and I didn't notice you could eat you own tail! It challenged me in both genres, so really great work there!

Seriously, one of the best game I have seen on a ludum dare ! I love snakes (the animals) and Snake (the game) but you adapt it in a very good way that work immediattly ! The mix between the two idea is perfect : to be in competition with the one(s) you seek love/relationship his a great idea either on a gameplay point of view AND in a narrative point of view ! Plus the design, the different music, the little animation of the snake, their character, all this was awesome ! And the AI + game responsive was in the same level : too much for only a Ludum Dare ! I really love this game and his quality : it's proper, it's joyfull, it's about snake : all I love !

Ps: how did I date the grey one ? In the end, the snake ask me if I admire his, but if i say yes, i'm pathethic and can't talk with the snake again, or I say no and I get the same question every time I retry talk to the grey one. help !

@RIBOUT Horace Thank you!!

You can date the goth snake if you start over and choose the right answers... there's no trick

ribout-horace 2018-04-24 23:15

@sintel Then, I will try again and again ! Thanks for the quick answer !

unbonjusdefruits 2018-04-24 23:28

The combination between the two genre is really well done! Congrats! Had a really great time playing this game, the dialogues are cool, each snek has a distinct personality, graphics are good looking and well executed, music is entertaining... I have nothing else to say so great work!

niterich 2018-04-25 00:49

That's a sssSSsuper game you got there! But I think there's a glitch where other snakes appear when Akemi is clearly the best one.

fil089 2018-04-25 02:27

Nice idea. Interesting writing and a very nice way to implement snake without a failure state (kind of). I was only disapointed that there's no choice on the "girls" since eventually everyone but Akemi rejects you. I... Don't have anything else to add. Solid game, nice sound design, killer portraits and a cute vibe.

macdoom 2018-04-25 03:03

Congratulations on the game design. It really combines the 2 genres pretty well... the grapbics are awesome and you managed to get a progression and personality of each snake. Couldnt find any errors. Congratulations!

sintel 2018-04-25 10:11

@Fil089 There is a choice! You can in fact date all of them. It depends on how you answer their questions.

animaster 2018-04-25 11:58

Concept and realisation is so cool. Artstyle is great, snakes are so cute. I love that game.

larryseinfeld 2018-04-26 02:57

Art and music was great! The personalities of the snakes made me laugh. I kept getting really long then accidentally eating my tail lol, but really fun/funny take on the classic snake game and a clever blend of snake and dating sim. Good job!

team-infernus 2018-04-26 07:17

This was adorable! I found romancing Akemi was really easy, but then the other girls just would not give me the time of day ): Great art and music this is definitely a favorite

balladofsong 2018-04-27 03:14

I loved this dating sim/ snake game. Very unique and funny. I loved interacting with the other snakes even though all of them seemed to bash me. 🙂 I enjoyed the art, the mechanics, and the sound. Great game!

kingofwhawha 2018-04-29 13:10

Man I almost fell in love with the yellow snake and it turned out to be a real ass! I mean... All the snakes (except the blue one, it's super nerdy and cute) are so hard to talk with *furiously scratch my head* !!!But honestly, great job with everything, especially the dialogues!

sintel 2018-04-30 23:16

@KingofWhaWha Ill have you know I actually wrote all the dialogue in a rush an hour before the deadline. Thanks for the kind words!

dovakla 2018-05-01 02:39

This is really cute! All the snake portraits and dialogue are great and the game is really fun. I do wish that something would happen once a snake rejected you, since I was confused by how they keep asking the same questions then. A few of the questions were also a little too random, like what her favorite band is. The only way to solve that is trial-and-error.

Great game!

paula 2018-05-06 13:56

I love the mood of the game. It's really fun and dialogs are really interesting. At the end i couldn't find a mate, but before that i was already hating all of them :) It was hard at the end eat becouse it was moving really fast and i lost control. The music is awasome, great job!

2018-05-15 14:39

Lovely graphics, really cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gETlUarz7Y
