can't start game, cutscene plays and then stops. Tried pressing a bunch of buttons and nothing happened. Would be nice if you could skip opening cutscene as well since it's quite slow

Well done sir.

That's a nice game ! I feel like it's more a puzzle game than a "stuck in a loop" related game - just like mine so I won't blame you for that :p - but it's really cool anyway! I had some trouble getting used to the controls, mostly because the snake sometimes grows diagonally, but once I understood how to play, the levels went smoothly and it was enjoyable :)

Good

i love it! it might be good to have some more easy levels at the beginning, but aside from that, it was one of the greatest game i play in this jam.

niterich 2020-10-06 16:11

Very nice puzzle game! The atmosphere was nice and foreboding, and the stars around your head when you bump into the wall were a nice touch. I also really like the the last puzzle, it really brought home the theme of the jam in a clever way

Hey @miziziziz, I added a skip cutscene script. Press Esc, Space or Enter to skip. Thanks for the feedback!

great puzzle game. I played through the whole thing and loved it. great work.

guimoliveira 2020-10-09 19:27

Great game! :)

sidonie-go 2020-10-09 20:03

I love the sound design and the art it makes me think about peas :heart_eyes: The mecanic is really cool but in my opinion it is still too close to snake :snake: :wink:

fliqside 2020-10-09 23:26

The feel was great, even if the theme was a bit of a stretch. Nice job, took me about 15 mins to play through.

leekanarchism 2020-10-09 23:34

Absolutely brilliant! This is one of the best games I've played so far -- the puzzles were well designed and there were some frustrating head-scratchers, but were all the more satisfying to solve, especially the last one! Great work :)

mafgar 2020-10-09 23:58

Great mechanic

happydevilgames 2020-10-10 04:00

Fantastic work! I really like the design of the puzzles, and how they subtly hint at ways the player can advance in the following puzzles by causing the player to figure it out themselves. Playing as an ancient creature is also a fun idea.

steambrain 2020-10-10 07:20

Nice audio/visual design, voice acting is a bit over the top for puzzle game - it prepared me for some brutal action, instead of relaxed puzzle solving.

Interesting take on classic mechanic, although I didn't really understood how crossing mechanic work - final level can be done without it nethertheless)

Good entry!

nsadie 2020-10-10 10:24

Some nice puzzles! I liked the intro voice over a lot!

humanisred 2020-10-10 14:00

Wow! This is a wonderful game, I mean the art style general seem very nice but its limited so the game uses those realistic and cool sprites in a very original way combined with very stupid and awesome sounds and that made me really laughung, this game is grotesque but akward and thats why I think its awesome and unique. The puzzles of course are very clever, the moment when you realize that you can eat your tail to let a piece of it on a button was absolutely satisfying and that all was made without any tutorial- which is great! Nice theme connection and very fun and polished in general! @wicked Nice!

acaral 2020-10-10 15:20

Solid entry:

-Nice mechanics

-Evolutive level design

-Good sound work

-Graphically efficient

-Interesting vision of the theme

pedrohph 2020-10-11 07:30

Nice game! Use the body of the snake to solve puzzles was a amazing idea!

merpui 2020-10-11 08:22

Great game! I love the mechanics, it feels like an extension to the classic 'Snake' game :) Well done!

empty-set 2020-10-11 08:58

Really unique mechanic that I've never seen before. The graphics were good and the music fit the mood of the game. The atmosphere was really solid overall. My only criticism is some of the puzzles felt a little bit repetitive. Great work.

sinusquell 2020-10-11 14:22

Wow, this feels so complete! Music, sound effects, cool mechanics. Everything! Great entry.

victor-reiner 2020-10-11 14:48

A very complete game. Visually it is great. The music is simple, but it works perfectly. The mechanics are very polished.

I loved the introduction. It was amazing.

Very good work!

mohmehdi 2020-10-11 15:25

good puzzles good music , good game

andriirinah 2020-10-11 15:26

Nice game!

verbante 2020-10-11 18:49

Those are some great mechanics and very fitting music

lunareffect 2020-10-11 21:17

This was incredibly clever. Nice twist on the snake genre! Just when I started figuring out an algorithm to solve the levels with the core mechanic, you add a twist to it that completely destroys my idea. The timing is on point! If I had to find one point of criticism, it's that the sound effects don't quite fit the mood that was set by the introduction and the background music, but that really is just a minor point.

The game does leave me with a craving for more and I'd love to see you develop this in to a complete game!

trexxak 2020-10-11 21:24

Love your reinterpretation of the classic! The intro voice over was also top notch! :D Only made it to level 9, the spikeball's rules were a bit too confusing for me, nonetheless, I appreciate the "seperation" mechanic for the levels before :D

pee-thief 2020-10-12 05:43

innovative twist on snake!

pierrens 2020-10-12 08:46

Really well made game! Made it all the way :D

meowmeowlitclub 2020-10-12 11:31

Amazing art style sound and mood! Simple gameplay! Love everthing!

dmitry-mozgin 2020-10-12 14:07

I was just passing by and decided to play your game. It has very good imperssion on me. The game feels right and delivers calm, enjoyable experrience. I haven't found any big issues the game just works fine. The autmosphere is good. The puzzles are not too difficult, but it was hard for me to figure out upfront how to solve them, so I was tinkering with movements alot. I liked that the game has variety mechanics, not just one. I liked the time playing. Good job!

siddharth 2020-10-12 14:35

I love it.. It was simply amazig.. nothing is bad in this game.. levels and so much polish.. I love this

dmitry-mozgin 2020-10-12 19:02

You may also want to check this game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/ouroboros it has very similar idea

garys 2020-10-12 22:25

Very cool! I love interesting takes on the snake mechanic, I've been working on a snake-like game for a while now myself - nothing like this, but still, love it.

oshawatt123 2020-10-13 10:12

Wow i kept the tab open without closing as got distracted by other work after I finished and didn't even notice I left it open but was just vibing with the music the whole time. Awesome soundtrack. The game is an amazing example of dive deep into mechanics rather than wide. You explored lots of problems involving the same mechanics which made for a brilliant Learn Practice Master loop and the fiero when I finished. Unparalleled. I felt biggus brainus. Great job with this one! Really great job!

zeu31 2020-10-13 13:34

really great game!

the game mechanic is so nice; it has so much potential.

the different tail pieces really helps to keep things fresh, without them the solution to puzzles would be mostly the same.

would be nice to see a post-jam version with more levels and tails!

yword 2020-10-13 16:40

I just finished all levels! Really clever puzzle, with nice atmosphere too. ^_^

asfdfdfd 2020-10-13 19:38

Love you reimagination of classic snake gameplay.

joel-fox 2020-10-14 00:13

I like the snake puzzles, but the atmosphere maybe could have been improved by having the spoken scene spread out over the game instead of all at the start.

captandrey 2020-10-14 05:47

the only thing i missing was a "Game-over-scene" after brutal 12 level) I actually also made snake-like game, it was interesting to see similarities/differences in level design and ideas)

jin9310 2020-10-14 09:09

Eventhough I don“t really see the theme in the game, this is really nice puzzler! Really enjoyed the dark mood and I was able to help the monster out :) Great job!

jamesor 2020-10-18 01:24

Great game, it was a lot of fun. Agree, would have liked to have seen a nice screen at the end with a happy dragon.

super-hadoken 2020-10-19 12:28

Great atmosphere and puzzles. Managed to finish all 12 levels, a little disappointed that there wasn't an end screen but it was a fun and challenging time. Really well done.

onkel-mo 2020-10-22 12:29

That's a nice game. Good puzzle mechanics; I could see this becoming a longer game to spend a lot of time with :).
