wow this is really fun and i love how the snake interacts with the other part of the game

Developer

I have updated Snake Rescue. It now has a much shorter loading time, looks better, is spookier, has more snake interaction and a proper ending.

Hey — I just played Nightmare Corridor and really enjoyed the eerie atmosphere! The hallway design and lighting immediately set a tense mood, and the little audio cues made it feel alive. One thing: the movement felt a bit slippery at times, so tweaking the speed or collision could help keep players grounded.


If you have a moment, I鈥檇 love for you to check out my game Hush Boy, Hush and drop a rating: /jam/gamedevtv-halloween-jam-2025/rate/3971977

 Thanks so much and best of luck in the jam! 馃巸

Well done! Very good use of the theme, a surrealistic puzzle, good interactions.

That was a very surrealist experience. When the snake slid by the window, I was like, "Woah!" I liked that you were playing the game on an old TV in the game. But like you were also in the game.

I didn't quite get the scary thing showing up and almost catching me. And I wasn't sure if the game was over when I got out.

Still very impressive way to make a simple game much more interesting.

Great game! Your idea that the TV game interacts with the world is pretty good, I wanted to see more. I was expecting the snake to chase me until I reached my next destination to play the next game, and see how the next game will interact with the world.

this was VERY cool game, i had tons of fun, it was short but every moment was entertaining
I can't say it felt like a complete game though, more like a sequence of cool things, but i mean better a sequence of  cool things than a boring game. or maybe i'm missing something, once you finish the 3rd level and sneak is outside, that's the end of the game? or i missed something? there was just no endgame screen or something.
Overall this was awesome. Great job.

Developer

That is a fair comment. There was no proper end and just a collection of cool things.

But now I have updated Snake Rescue. It now has a much shorter loading time, looks better, is spookier, has more snake interaction and a proper ending.

Still a bit rough around the edges but I have learned a lot.

This was quite fun, an interactive spoopy  intro, followed by launching into that classic snake game!

So now that I visited your house, it is your turn! Come have a look and get comfortable at the TV :)

That snake is my homie for real. XD Real talk though, this deserves more attention. Good gameplay, decent sound design, and W dubstep. I did NOT expect that snake to eat up those pumpkins for in the real world.

:D Here is a link to the music I used:

This was a fun little game. I really liked the snake game part, would like to see how you expand on this in future (if you do that in case); well done!

Developer(+1)

I have updated the game again. Loads much faster and there is some more content. Still a short game but spookier, better looking and has a proper ending.

This was really fun!

I wasn't expecting the snake to actually show up lol! Got a good laugh from me as I saw it slither past the windows. 

Awesome job!

Seeing the man heading to the door was terrifying but seeing the snake moving around the house was such a cool experience, nice one there

Seems to be updated since the 1st try at this Snake that I found.  Love the creepy laugh and more immersive 3d rooms.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Here is the evil laugh source:

It loaded nice and quickly for me, certainly no longer than other games in the jam. I did play this one before the deadline, back when it was 3rd person, and liked the concept of playing a video game to change the world around you. I can see you made some extra additions with the man and the camera view to see him charge towards the room. It's a very short experience, but would be interested to see how the concept could be developed going forward

Developer

Thank you for playing and giving your thoughts. I defiantly want to expand on this concept, there are so many ideas I have. For example, the reason I chose 3rd person in the early version is because I aiming to make of 3d platfomer. The player would jump on the snake to reach higher places which would contain a save point and and a way of playing the next batch of snake levels. But then I changed to 1st person because it worked better indoors.

So much to do but so little time, that is the Jam experience :)

The game took quite long to load, but the concept behind it was pretty fun, I thought I was tripping out when I saw the snake behind the window while playing.

The only thing is I didn't feel it really fit the theme, the guy knocking on the door was pretty spooky but that was about it. Also some interaction text would have helped figure out what to do.

Developer

Hello. Your criticisms are very fair. I have updated the game and now it is much more in keeping with the Halloween theme. It loads much faster too.

I was hoping to see this! I left the tab open for a while but it never fully loaded for me, I'm sorry.

Developer(+1)

This game has a very large file size for a web game so may have a relatively long loading time. But I tested it myself and it took well under 60 seconds. So please give it another go.

Holy crap this was awesome. Super cool idea and I'm a sucker for Snake haha. When I first saw it slither passed the window as I was playing the video game it clicked it was really eating the jack o lanterns outside and I controlling it. AWESOME idea, great sounds and music, love it.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love snake games too :)

I will be carrying on will this idea, either updating this game after the jam ends or making a new one with the same central concept.
