Managed to play a little, I like the idea here. However, performance wise I could barely get my framerate into the double digits. Would love to play a more performant build.

'What a time to be alive' 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh' this is the best sound design ive heard in this jam. good game!
Cool atmosphere and funny sound effects. I wasn't able to get far, but I enjoyed what I played. Nicely done!
Same as jellycopter, the perfs were bad on my machine (and I my opinion the visuals did not justify it). An average of 17fps, which made it quickly very hard to do anything after a few speed pickups. The sound for the pickups was really annoying to me.
Really weird (in a good way) take on 3D Snake. The hit detection felt a bit off sometimes (failing out of nowhere) but overall interresting game.
Woah this was really cool! It felt super weird to see my tail behind me in the first person. I really felt like some kind of dragon snake creature. I only got to 12, but I was making some really sick maneuvers!
Would be interesting if you also accumulated time-based points on some kind of logarithmic scale 🤔
@jellycopter @thebmxeur performance is an issue we found out about when we started the playtests, so about 1-2h before the deadline... We tried some things out to fix it and it did become much better than it was, but it still is far from perfect. Sorry you couldn't enjoy it fully, we will give our best make a better performing game for the next jam :)
I really like this game, the audio is fun and the atmosphere is scary !
First game so far that has made me laugh out loud. Well done, and nice take on snake. I love it!
Human made sounds are the best ones.
lol the sound. I like the mechanic, simple and pretty fun.
Interesting game, good idea, I like the sounds.
Great sounds and mechanics. This game have a great mood, and it’s satisfying to play!
I like the idea of a 3D snake in a continuous environment. I liked the graphics, the overall atmosphere, and it was pretty fun to play.
Like others mentioned, the performance wasn't the best, but it was playable on my machine.
I must say I'm not a big fan of the sounds. When I took the first ball, I thought I did something wrong, because the scream was so loud and scary (maybe just lower the volume?). I would have expected a more cheerful sound, I only knew I did the right thing by looking at the score.
Overall, nice work. Pity about the sounds and the performance, but it's a good game to kill some time with :slight_smile:
It's a nice game ! It's a good idea to have a Snake in 3D. Unreal Engine wanted to burn my pc though !
Keep up the good work :smile:
The sound of picking a ball sounds like a Serious Sam reference.
This game leaves a surreal impression. And the size and requirements of Unreal Engine are part of this surreal picture.
