Awesome game! I played for a very long time

This game is like snake, but in 3d an instead of eating... squares, you have to eat yourself. i really like the concept, but damn this is hard. at first, it's okay, but the more you eat, the faster you get and then i miss the blue segment and lose. i think the hard mode is well implemented, but medeium should be what easy is, and in easy mode you should have mor lifes and some respawns. This would make the difficulties more unique, and the game in general easier for people like me. the music is just good, the graphics are good, but they work so perfect together. this game is a lot of fun, just a bit difficult!

Interesting concept. I think my biggest gripes with the game is the controls and movement. I don't understand why you didn't go with up/down/left/right for the controls, instead of l/r for cw/ccw -- I got confused a lot and misplayed. The other thing that didn't feel right is how you didn't move immediately. I get that it moves at a certain speed, but it still doesn't feel right when there's a delay before knowing if your input went through.

All in all, I loved the concept, but controls and movement gets unbearable for me. Good effort!

I like the new take on classic snake games! It was interesting having to line yourself up to eat your own body rather than eat food in the arena. I think i would agree with @undefinist here. The controls made it harder for me at the start than it could of been. After a while i got used to pressing left or right but did mean at beginning i struggled to play the game.

Nice concept and even better implementation. Seems like game made by a professional team, very-very solid. Loved everything about this game. The self-eating-by-color snake is a bit innovative for me.

Good concept and graphics. Overall a very good quality entry but the game is way to hard even in easy mode.

excellent presentation of the classic

This was certainly more challenging than traditional snake games! You had to put in more thought about when to turn, which made the game more interesting. The bounciness of your graphics was fun, though I think the controls weren't as intuitive as they could've been. It took me a bit to realize that the arrow keys create movement from the character's point of view and not from an overall view. Otherwise, I think the use of color was an innovative twist on a classic game. Good work!

Really nice game. It's a big tribute to the classical game. I loved the graphics and animations. Good job!

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

Really nice game. The concept is excellent.

Good work with graphics and music but sometime the left arrow key moves colouroboros towards left and at the other moment the same left arrow key turns it to the right and the score does not increase however long you play the game. Do try our game too and share your experience in comment box.
