I was so delighted by this game! Fits the theme really well in a totally different way than I've seen any of the other games do it. It feels polished and fun, and the audio makes it really satisfying. I feel like I'm going to come back to this to play it in my free time!
Took me a while to understand it completely, but I really love this idea. I love playing classic snake from time to time, and this is a nice take on that! Great execution. My browser made it look really blurry, but looking at the image on this page, that was definitely not intended, so I'm ignoring that blurry thing :p
Fantastic! I like this game system. The graphics and animations are also cool.
Very Nice the game!, i don't know if is normal i can plant on the water in the last level!
Very fun to play. I love the new take on the snake idea!
the music is really charmful and relaxing which really fits with the theme of farming. I thought most of the games in this jam would be very intense due to your life being a currency but I just felt charmed moving my snek around planting some delicious strawberries. My only feedback and maybe it's just b/c I'm old b/c I was told the sounds in my game were way too loud. But I can barely hear the sound effects over the music (but I love the music)
Looks great, solid gameplay, interesting spin on a classic. I think I got a bug in my playthrough as I've seen comments about the music but I didn't hear any (I got sound effects though so my audio was definitely working). But I loved the game.
After playing a lot of "sadistic" games, it's refreshing to play this one. Love the music and the concept. The spin on the classic game is amazing. The graphics are good too!
Fun! Loved the art and a cool refresh snake games! The controls felt like they could be a bit tighter maybe? I felt like I was regularly missing my turns, but maybe I just suck? Really enjoyed trying to grow my plants and the multi passes on any given tile really liven up the gameplay. Thanks for sharing!
Great Concept, Great Art! I suck at Snake though... So I did not get far...
Really neat idea! Played a couple rounds. Both the first and third map. Made me think about what the optimal strategies were (I feel like I had the best chance when I farmed everything in a line.) Great job!
What a great use of the theme! It took me a bit to get the hang of the controls (the snake moves a bit fast), but after a bit, I found a pretty comfortable rhythm. The art for this game is absolutely beautiful, the logo in your post alone drew me here out of sheer awe. Given the detail in the art, I completely understand the time it all must've taken to complete. All the same, I really wish there was some music to this, would've upped the ambiance to a whole new level. Overall creative and gorgeous game!
Very nice sprite art, and a fun and simple yet solid little premise that works with the theme! A job well done.
I have a hard time in the first minutes to figure out what to do, and then I've read everything again to get it right, lol. Great concept, loved the gameplay and the feeling on biting the plants/fruits is great, I couldn't stop harvesting to eat them in a straight line. Also loved the dirt path detail.
What an awesome idea! I agree that it was tough to figure out what to do first, but after that it's just pure fun.
That's really solid. I thought every possible variant of Snake has been made like in nineties, yet here you are.
Super fun and relaxing! I love the idea here, would love if this was like a snek rpg even. Could use some work on the audio but it's fine enough for the time given.
Really cool idea that fits the theme great. One thing to note is that the music is not playing in Firefox for me. Chrome works fine!
Solid game!
Really cool game with a great work on the main aesthetic. Controls are smooth and all works as expected. You did a solid entry introducing an usual gameplay. I love this one - too addictive and relaxing. The way you manage with the theme is pretty interesting. However I have no music - only sounds. Overall well done. I wish you the best ++
This is such an addicting little game, and what a wonderful twist on the original! Maybe for that third level you could start the snek a little further from the wall; it seems like he's a little close. Makes me want strawberries; good job!
cool design!!!
Beautiful pixel art and nice variation on classic snake.
Really cool!
Great job team! A fun take on a classic and I love the Garden Snake pun!
All be it an obvious snake game but a very fun take on it. I really loved the graphics and the charm to this game. Smart idea with the trail sprites too. Very polished and well put together jam game!
Great work guys :)
Oh yeah guys, Tenshi's link in the game links to someone else.
I guess the best way to play is attempting to fill the whole field with ripe melons and then collect them all at once? XD A very interesting variation of a classic :D The trenches probably would have benefited of an auto-tiling function :D
Awesome take on snake guys! Lovely stuff!
Very pretty graphically. Well done.
This is a really cool combination of a farming game and the classic snake mechanics. Very Unique idea. :)
I liked playing it a lot. Would've been nice to see some feedback when you plant a flower. If's difficult to see until the snake body has passed.
Some other reactions to the plants would have seemed better too, there is not really an interesting choice in the three crops.
Either way, well done.
Just saw your game in the same video where Randomise User's played ours, so I had a go at it myself. I love the art, it's super cute and consistent. The music is relaxing and suits the type of game well.
I kind of felt like I was missing some kind of escalation in how challenging things were, I think the types of crops you plant could be more interesting rather than having a balance in how much health they give/how long they take to grow.
Overall though, very well polished and cute!
I like the addition of the plant-growing and watering mechanic to the standard snake game. I definitely added more interesting challenge to the gameplay. Nice job.
Pretty cool game! I liked the concept that you have to keep watering the plants to get bigger. I also liked the level select that was a nice touch. Good job!
Fantastic graphics. Fun take on the snake game idea. Reminds me of shareware from the early '90s in a good way :)
This feels really polished! The gameplay works surprisingly well! Music and graphics are beautiful, this creates a really charming atmosphere. A true little gem you created there :)
One thing to consider: Some European countries use the QWERTZ layout for keyboards (and some AZERTY). It's not that much of a hassle to change the input type, BUT it would still be easier for us QWERTZ users to not be dependent on using the Z key. An easy fix would be to let the Y key do the same thing. Or in general add different possible buttons for different keyboard types. It's a really small thing, but it's much appreciated by foreign users :)
Enjoyable little game. Solid entry.
What a genre mix, and unbelievably cute at that! The snake is adorable. It's nice to see you made alternative maps, I think the second one is my favorite. Well done!
Really cute. The pixel art was pretty on point. I liked the use of the mechanics of 'snake'. Really fun to try to grow the crops without running into myself lol
I mentioned it when I streamed this but it would have been super great to include a downloadable downloadable file. Browser is great for most people but some games don't run the best (this depends on the individual's device though). That being said, I'm glad it was in javascript. It ran really smooth.
Thanks for hanging out during the stream, as well. Here’s the [link to the stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/427854891?t=01h20m32s). Your game should start around [01:20:32].
