I love your idea. its fun
The audio flashbanged me but it was ridiculous so I can give it a pass lol. The actual game concept a nice twist, and I like how you had some obstacles like the lasers to change it up. It may just be, but I think this game has glitches at some points, such as how the snake's body gets cut off from some tiles, and sometimes the head has straight up detached from the body and ignored all my inputs and died. Overall, solid concept and funny execution. Kudos!
Very interesting idea and take on the loop theme. I was confused at first on what to do but it was super fun once I understood. I love the humor in the game. I do think the art could be better. Some color don't match and it's too saturated I feel like. Overall I very cool concept and game. Could you rate my game?
This is nice! constantly dying got me a bit frustrated at first but ones you get the hang of it this becomes pretty fun
Also the dying sound had me UNPREPARED XD
5/5 Audio
The idea behind this game is great, and the gameplay loop is fun! Interesting take on the jam's theme :)
Satisfying to eat the snake's tail!!
Hello there fellow ouroboros developer, I liked your take on this sub-theme
The snake was skipping some tiles and it made it quite hard, however nice game !
Very funny audio, totally unexpected. A bit hard for me but I saw three kinds of obstacles which I thought are well planned.
Please play and rate my game as well
Fun game with funny audio!
I’m not sure if it was a bug or some weird mechanic but my snake kept skipping tiles which made it pretty tough to control
it's a bug, I might try to fix that after the jam. thanks!
The death sound had me dying LMAO
Hello! I enjoyed your Ouroboros game. The core of having to think on your feet to doge the traps and catch the tail is addicting. All of the different kinds of traps keeps the game fresh and leads to comedic moments. I wish I could have played more of it but It was dropping a lot of my inputs. If you upload a build where that is fixed some time let me know. Congrats on submitting!
I'm gonna give it 5 stars for audio .
Fun concept, and it's cool that it was made entirely in Javascript!
The controls were a bit unresponsive at times, which made some of the later challenges more difficult
Great version of snake. But the control is little slow and the die sound is spooky. : )
Writing this in pure JS is incredible, well done!
I unfortunately could not get very far, as I found the controls to be unresponsive. If I pressed aws or d it could take up to a full second before the snake would actually turn in that direction.
Might just be a skill issue on my part though xD
Congrats on your submission!
Thanks! I was a bit torn on how the controls work since if it's highly responsive it means there will be weird jumps when turning. I might try to play with it a little more. maybe I'm missing something
I got 40!
Nice!
First of all, I think the game really fits the theme in a creative way, I like the idea of playing snake but having to eat your tail.
I also have some feedback though for you to improve. First of all, it was not clear to me why some floor tiles seem to be above me and some below, and what things are obstacles and which are not. Second, if you have to tell people to turn down their sound when playing this game, it must mean you are aware the sound is quite present. Maybe you could have instead made the sound less in your face or less loud.
Don't take it the wrong way though, I definitely think you got a really interesting game right here that could be expanded upon to create a really fun arcade game! :)
Weird what you saw with the floor tile because I never ran into this issue. you are right I should've explained better what is an obstacle, which everything else to the edge of your tail is. you are right about the sound I wanted to keep it lower but I was told it sounds good as is.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah no problem, and seriously good job!
thanks :)
Best voice acting I've seen in a jam game so far!
lol thanks!
It was certainly... something! :')
We also had some amazing voice acting in our game. You will hear it when you lose.
Amazing voice acting indeed!
