Cute game! I'm particularly fond of the pogo stick animation.

Great game :) The base variant is fine and has everything that’s necessary, but the dev version with the music and power ups add quite a lot of depth and atmosphere.

Very cool! I really like the sprites and animation of the snakes!

Developer

Thank you for playing, and I am glad you like it.

Cool game! The gameplay was simple but fun. Though once I was right next to a snake and it didn't jump onto me, so I'm guessing it's completely random? Made the game quite easy though, but I enjoyed it

Developer (1 edit)

Yes, the snake's movement is currently random, and I plan to change it in upcoming updates.


Thank you for playing and the feedback.

Love the snake on pogostick animation. Worked great for me. As others mentioned, some patterns to the snake movement instead of random would benefit. Thematically, a jumping mechanic for the player and snakes to skip tiles could be fun to explore.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. 

As others have noted, the snake's randomness limits the challenge, and I am working on some changes for upcoming updates.

This game is very fun, a little random, but it's up to the task of a jam.

Developer

Thank you for playing, The snakes movement is too random atm. My original plan was to have the snake move in certain patterns, it is on my to do list.

Cool concept for a game. 

I do like the pogo snake and its bouncing up and down animation. 

Would be interesting to see where you take this game with future updates.

Nice one!

Snakes on a pogo is quite creative! I enjoyed the game and it has some fun elements. Didn't find any game breaking bugs in my run, so overall well done!

Fun little game, even with such a simple game loop. Cheap way to die tho, on advancing to level 4 the snake spawned right on top of me instantly and I lost. 😅

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, spawning on you is just one of the many compromises made to get the game to a finished, minimal playable state. Ideally, I wanted to reset the player back to the centre (adds note to update list!)

Version 1.1.2 is simple bug fix on movement. Simple and instead of or in game logic allowed for phantom movement.
