Really fun twist on the Snake concept ! The sound effects and music are simple but really really adds something to the game, the movement sound really make it clear that you moved and the Win and Lose music are really cool and blend nicely with the ambiant one ! 

It kind of makes me think of this Crash Bandicoot ost

Nice job !

OK being compared to one of my childhood games osts is such an amazing (and in my eyes absolutely undeserved) compliment. 


Thank you very much, there are two level cleared sounds and I can't stop myself from hearing that one is louder than the other...

But hey considering this is part of what I implemented in the middle of the night, I'm happy it gets the job done

Ahah I feel you, I mainly developped my game during nightime !

Je viens de me rendre compte d'après ton image de profil que tu parles logiquement Français ahah, ça fait plaisir de voir des français dans cette jam, bon courage pour la suite mon ami :D !

Developer(+1)

Hehe alors techniquement parlant je suis allemand mais oui ça fait une vingtaine d'années que je réside dans ce merveilleux pays.

Avec un travail à plein temps et deux enfants en bas âge, on trouve des moments pour ses ambitions comme on peut xD 

En tout cas, je suis ravi que notre petite création t'ait plu. Bon courage à toi aussi !

Great little game! Nice art and audio, with some good twists in the puzzles. Would love to see a few more complex levels but it felt like the right amount of difficulty for a jam :)

Two tiny gripes - I'd have liked the menu buttons to work with the keyboard (quite annoying to have to move back to the mouse just to click 'retry'), and I found it hard to tell when I was going to actually eat my tail vs be one square away.

Developer

Hey yeah R and N shortcuts are already implemented in the version I cannot post since the game is locked during the jam. 

More levels to come, more mechanics and a **super secret** project in the works

Submitted(+1)

Love the idea!

Developer(+1)

Thabk you, 

Loved making it a reality

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! Love the ctr waves and style overall. Last level fittingly felt like "just have fun" type of level, I like those

Developer

Thank you, yes the goal of the last level was to show that there is still room to grow with this concept on to part with the player on a high note

Submitted(+1)

Super cool art style, unique and fun game, well made 👏

Developer(+1)

Thank you

It was our first work together and the first time in a decade I've touched a game engine 

Submitted (1 edit)

Wow, impressive work for such a long gap! Congrats 👏 This jam was also my very first game, definitely learned a lot of new things! I hope the jam was fruiftul for you too!

Submitted(+1)

Liked it! I would have preferred slightly less distortion effect for more visual clarity, but was fun to work through which apples to eat/not

Developer

Hey thank you and yes we have received this feedback regarding the CRT shader multiple times I'll but a slider/toggle in the settings menu for the next patch

Submitted(+1)

First I was a bit confused but afterwards I had so much fun playing it. Art style and sounds are also good.

Developer

Ohh I'm sorry to hear that 

Could I inquire about what confused you? 

How could we better the on-boarding experience?

Submitted(+1)

Wow, this is such a creative concept! I love the VHS effect and the overall visual style - it really sets the mood perfectly. and I really liked the old snake game mixed up with the loop theme! Fantastic work!

Developer(+1)

You are so kind, thanks a lot, 

It's our first game Jam and the reception is incredible

Submitted

Never thought that snake game can be implemented in loop theme like this 🥳  Simple but great idea 👌 This kind of games inspire me in a way that any simple well executed idea can be fun and enjoyable 👏

Developer(+1)

You words are too kind, but if inspired you that is heartwarming to read

Submitted(+1)

Good game, easy to handle and creative remade of a create classic, nice job ! :)

Developer

Thank you, we tried to keep to the basics while making something engaging

Submitted(+1)

Quite cool I like the art style its like retro and feels forbidden the idea is also cool the way you sometimes have to eat the apple but other times  you have to avoid it is neet.

Developer(+1)

The forbidden snake game: eat apples or be eaten... 


That's one hell of an idea for a spinoff xD

Submitted(+1)

Nicely done!! sometimes you have to eat the apple and sometimes not!!

Developer(+1)

Yep, sometimes greed is your downfall

Already working on some other items to spice up the gameplay a bit

Submitted(+1)

The visuals are quite good, along with the art and music, simple but effective game

Developer(+1)

Simple and effective... 

That's...

What... 

SHE SAID!!! 


... sorry, thanks for your review/rating

SO GOOD!

Developer

Thanks we tried our best

I like this game  so much guys. 

Developer

Thank you soo much for your kind words,
we will post a bugfix update on itch with some quality of life improvements

and we have started a **SUPER SECRET** project because the reception was so amazing from you guys

Submitted(+1)

Cool puzzle game with unsettling atmosphere! :O


For me, it was a little too easy, because, in the end, all the levels have the same solution: Eat apples until your snake's length occupies an odd number of cells.

The last level had a new idea: some apples need to be eaten together. But this idea is not really explored, and the level remains open for different solutions.

But, after all, I can understand that for people who are not as much into puzzle games, even the snake movement can be puzzling!!!

Developer

Thank you, and yes you bring forward feedback that is very true, 
we are already working on implementing other mechanics but I understand that you can only rate what you see and not what you may see in the future, either way I would be glad to catch your attention with what we want to turn thgis GameJam game into

Submitted(+1)

Great Ouroborus game with a really cool aesthetic and general vibe. I especially loved the CRT filter you used with the distortion effect, as well as the snake moving sound effect and its pitch changing slightly every time you moved! I also like how you're encouraged not to eat some apples, which makes for some interesting experimentation in the gameplay itself, where you have to try different strategies out to eventually make a good loop.  Overall, I really liked this game's ambience and gameplay, and my only real complaint is that I wish I could've seen more! Great submission!

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words,
Spoiler alert, there will be more, but in another aspect ratio ;)

Submitted

Glad to hear it!

Really lovely and engaging take on a classic, would love to see it expanded with even more mechanics if possible - like different types of apples (one makes you shorter?), but overall really unique and fun! Thanks for checking out my game and saying hi on stream!

Developer(+2)

Thank you for providing this absolutely surreal experience of seeing our game in the recommendation feed of YouTube. 


I wish you the best and will try to catch another stream, you have a very entertaining personality
