It a fun game to play,  the fast few runs I got softlocked due to having incomplete snake cards. Otherwise , it is nicely polished, fun and follows the theme and the fact it was made in a short time is cool.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :) softlock fix is in progress!

Very fun game! I softlocked myself a few times but I love the concept, and the game feels quite polished too!

Thanks for liking it! The softlock issue seems to be occurring frequently, I'll fix it asap 🫡 (might be done after jam ends tho)

Funny game, but took me some tries to get a valid run.

In my first attempt i kept playing incomplete snakes, until neither me nor the opponent had any cards left. But there were still 2 turns remaining and i soft locked my self.

In the next attempt i had two valid snakes in hand. I composed a red snake on the board and then tried to build another snake. But this got me in some weird state, where i had a snake on the board, but the button became “Skip”, so i got no points that round.

On my third attempt i finally played the game the intended way, but lost :( I thought i could use snake jokers as any part of any color, but after playing a joker as head and a red body, i wasn’t allowed to play the red tail.

Still a funny experience :) Could see this game as a printed card game for children.

What is the correct way to use/play the jokers?

Thanks for the report, I also found some bugs myself, so I'll make sure these things all get fixed :)

When you have 3 or more jokers, you can merge them into a joker snake, which gives you more points than a normal colored snake!

Nice game! We had a similar idea of using the snake's body for the cards. it'd also be nice if jokers act like wild cards (can be used as any part) with maybe giving less points to introduce some strategy to the game

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Having joker cards as wild cards sounds like a great idea, I'll try it out :D

Hello, really good game ! The visuals are great with cute snakes and the effects (cards flipping, texts displayed) are well done and placed overall. The game system is fun and clever, as an improvement it would be great if luck was less influencing the game as some plays are there with almost no choice (when you get one snake possible each turn). Anyway I didn't see any bugs and it is well done, impressive work in one day and even more if it is your first game jam, great work :)

Thank you for your feedback! And yes, this is my first game jam, so I'm really glad you liked it 🙌 

I'll try to make the game less luck-based if I have more time! :)
