Snake Driller by Florent 2014-04-28T09:26:00
Hey Skencer, what was confusing about the store ?
You "broke" the drill on oil when you don't own the refinery yet.

Hey Skencer, what was confusing about the store ?

@f7f5 I can't test it on Linux because none of my machine have it installed.
Plus CraftStudio (at least the editor) is known for not being very stable on Linux yet.
So I can't help you with your issue right know. If you can't test other builds, then you can't play the game, sorry about that.
I would love to be able to use the arrow keys (or ZQSD).
WASD is really not practical to use with an AZERTY keyboard.
@ethan Sure, dragging makes sense and would save quite a few clicks.
I would certainly allow that IF I work more on the game, or make a new version of it in the future, but not for now.
Note: I updated the game with the debug features turned off, the game is now faster, especially the random generation.
Thanks for the nice words everyone !
@Ponywolf and @ZBGE : have you noticed that you can mouse over the i icon to have instructions ?
And I don't think you can make a level more simple than the first tutorial. :D
@ZBGE "Making them change a bit when they are made "valid" would have helped with that part" Absolutely ! That was on the to-do list but didn't make it.
I reckon there is a general lack of visual feedbacks, I wanted to add more "juice" but as often, I hadn't the time.
There is a lack of feedback on what's going on, and it crashes twice one me.
That's too bad, I can't rate it in this state, and it looked like a nice game !
Brilliant ! I love it !
Very cool ! I would love this idea to be developed further ! Well done !
Really excellent !
Very nice visuals !
Hey Jupitron !
Thanks you for your feedbacks but I am done with the game !
So no music I'm afraid. :D
@Luke : It can happen, please try another browser... For me, the game works fine on the latest version of Firefox and Chrome (on Win 7).
Thanks everyone for your comments !
I know the game is a little "weak" gameplay wise, and not enough challenging.
My next game will be better ! :D
To those you can't run the game :
I am afraid I can't do much...
I can't test with Linux or Mac but the game even works on Android !
Try using other, modern, up-to-date browsers.
If it still does work, I am sorry... :(
@stvr It seems that on OSX, you have to activate WebGL by following theses steps : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3300585?start=0
Makes me ragequit obviously ! Nice concept though !
Ah ah very nice !
I was a little hard to see who was who but nice game !
Nice take on the theme.
You should definitely add a link to this page on itch.io !
Innovative, but sometimes hard to see where we are going.
I was still an itern after five minutes of play, maybe that's a bit long but very nice game overall !
Very hard and very crazy !
Unusable as-is with an AZERTY keyboard. :(
Whether I change the keyboard's layout before or after launching the game, the console would still print me the wrong keys (Q instead of A).
Very beautiful and nice to play !
Not bad for one of your first games !
Fun enough to play a few minutes !
Couldn't run it on Win 7 32 bits.
I get the error "The version of this file is imcompatible with your version of Windows. Check if you need a 32 bits or 64 bits version.
Too bad the game doesn't scale up when in fullscreen by nice atmosphere !
Very nice, especially the game over reason ! Most original take on the theme so far !
Seems a little bit to good to be your first game ever. Or you are very talented, well done !
Nice game, but I had to terminate the process to be able to close the game...
Yep, I had a hard time keep track of everything and still made score with random moves. But nice game overall !
Nice, that was an interesting entry !
You should put a link to there from itch.io.
Didn't found how to eat food, but very charming atmosphere !
Crash when I click on the Start button on a Motorola Moto G LTE running Android 4.4.4. :(
You really should consider putting a web or at least windows build.
It could be useful to paste the description also on the itch.io page, but nice concept and look !
