This doll is a bit scary.

It has quite interesting and creative gameplay.

It is slightly lacking in polish , needs music and sound effects. 

Everything else is fine :D

Developer

I agree! They don't make puppets like this anymore...

As a solo-dev I had to prioritize and unfortunately sound had to take the hit. Maybe next time!

Submitted

Good luck next time XD

Submitted

Really cool idea and I love the puppets and the humor

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

This game is super creative I had a lot of fun with it. I noticed how on really sharp corners the blue overshoots a little and goes off the track so I put a real sharp corner leading into another section of road and managed to fool the blue driver into driving through the corner so he would keep repeating this small patch of track forever. It was super funny I had a great time. The sock snake gave me a good chuckle too! Well done!

Thank you so much for the kind words! The blue car is Tokyo Drifting all over the place...

Submitted

Great game! I absolutely could not get it to accept the narrow win by red even if it was neck and neck.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Blue may have snuck in a fraction of a second before red...

I had fun. The narrative really brings this together.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

great game with cool concept! Loved the artwork as well! Cheers!

Developer

Thank you!

Fun little game with creative use of the Loop theme! Drawing a spline track was my first idea for the jam too but I ended up going in a slightly different direction :D

Developer(+1)

Ooo, I look forward to playing your game!

Submitted

I love the gameplay and the super silly puppets!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

The puppets are AMAZING! so creative!

Did you make those yourself?

Developer

I made the snake, but the cat was an old childhood toy.

Submitted

I love the spin of the track being a snake. Very simple and creative game. Also love the characters they're fun.

Developer

Thank you! My first idea was "You are the track" and the snake came later when I was replacing some placeholder graphics.

Submitted

Great take on the theme, and snake. The challenges blended well with the track design concept, and scaled up nicely. We liked the "analog" characters for the story.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words!

Submitted

LOL I love the puppets! Really charming and creative game :)

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making the sock puppet. The cat came from the back of a closet where he's hid for decades. After starring in this game, the cat puppet is back on display in a place of honour!

Submitted

wait did you make the puppet specifically for the game? If so that's awesome! I assumed its something you had lying around

Developer

The snake I made, the cat was an old childhood toy.

Submitted

Cute and creative! I love the puppets being used to tell the narrative.  Gameplay felt good.  Fun take on the classic Snake.  The only thing really missing for me is the audio.  (With a 3 day jam, totally get it.)

Great work all around.  Would love to see you push this further after the jam.

Developer

I agree. If this were a week-long jam I would have added audio, but I had to prioritize. Thankfully there's no "overall" ranking or else I would be toast!

Submitted

really cool an unique idea. Great narrative as well. Good job!

Developer

Thank you! Looks like we both had Ouroboros on our mind

Submitted

So cute! Love the premise and characters. Looking forward to what cool things you can add to it post-jam.

Developer

Thanks! I might revisit this.

Submitted

what a novel concept!

Developer

Thank you! I wish the jam were a little longer, as there were other directions I would have like to take this...

Submitted

Super fun to play!

Developer

thanks!
