Really interesting ! You're the only one I saw that interpreted the "turn based" like that. It's really hard to think about all three snakes at the same time but that's why it's fun to try and try again. A really good game, great job !

Thank you :) I might be the person that played this game the most and i still most of the time just guess where the snakes will move XD

Really fun game! I like how even the enemies are controlled by the turns, a little suggestion I have is to have the beat of the music sync to the steps of the snakes, its a small thing but it could help in intuiting the speed of the snakes. 

Developer

Thank you, this is a great suggestion :D

I love the concept and its presentation, the use of the "turn-based" limitation. However, the implementation with its spinning board messed with my eyes.

Developer

Haha yeah the animation is quite quick. I could have increased the duration of the animation and game ticks. Maybe i could a an option to adjust the time scale.

Thanks for the feedback :)

This was so cute I loved it! Goes to show you don't need it to look super complicated to get your message across. Very well done, congrats!

Developer

Thanks :D I tend to overthink the software i am writing. So it was a nice exercise for me to keep things minimal and simple.

Very enjoyable game. Nice little twist on the classic snake game where you move the playing field instead of the snake. Took me  a while to get the hang of it, but after the initial struggle its quite enjoyable. Great job!

Developer

Thank you :) Yeah it’s quite hard to predict the movement of the characters without some try and error.

Neat little Game. Aesthetic is simple but clean and well executed. 

I appreciate that you had the option to use keyboard or mouse for the controls.

Great job, especially considering that it is your first Game Jam!

Developer

Very cool interpretation of the theme, and it's really fun to play once you get the hang of it(took me a while though!)

Great work!

Developer

Thanks :) Yeah getting a feeling for the movement in this game might take some tries. I am glad you had fun. :D
