This is pretty interesting to me since there are some discoverable mechanics here. Some may say they don't like as much but I think it's fine for the most part in this game because it's not super punishing.

A cool twist on snake! I appreciated the speed boost mechanic. It would've been nice to make it clearer that zombies would hurt my HP when reaching the left side - I didn't know until it happened. But really cool game, nice work!

World of Warlords OnlineI like to see modern interpretations of old classics. Share your ideas about this game's future additions, because I came to conclusion that I would like to have some Tower Defense mechanics, as we already must defend "something" on the left, so let us (players) have something to do it. What do you think about making it a twist of PvZ? Percy vs Zombies :D

Project CentrifugeTowers are an interesting option. Was a half thought early on, but wasn't suitable for the Jam time frame.
But with a step back and re-evaluate, it could be back in the mix :).
right now I'm thinking about goals/levels to reach certain sizes,.. and collecting ZomBits (currency) to spend on upgrades,.. more difficult arenas to navigate around,.. As that progresses further, the turret option might be a nice option to consider :).
thanks for playing and the feedback, its much appreciated! :)
Really interesting spin on Snake and I liked that it was more than just having to dodge the obstacles, eating them was a nice twist! I liked the boost mechanic, but I still kinda felt that the snake moved a little too slowly when not boosted. Generally was a lot of fun though!

NonnoAyyy a neat variation on the snake game format.
The first round I thought I could simply avoid the zombies and it'd all be fine, then I saw my health go down :P
The second round I ended up speeding along mostly eliminating zombies rather than eating the pies, primarily because there didn't actually seem to be a benefit besides score for increasing in length. It actually makes things more difficult and likely that you'll get hit by a zombie without any upside.
It'd be cool if it also included the zombies splatted in the end score, I got like 79 kills.
The music and art are a good, a nice bop while boosting around the place.
Nice job overall :D

Hook & Delivery .coI contemplated a level/round aproach, where you need to get to X length to complete the round.
As it stands, the bigger you are, the more "lives" you have from being hit by zombies (as you lose a body piece from being hit by them), but yes, the problem is you're more likely to be hit to :).
So perhaps I need to balance/explore a bit more on the pie eating side of things :)
thanks for the feedback! much appreciated
takes me back to the nokia snake game, the movement is spot on. It's a good time!

Pirate Trains in Outer SpaceHad a blast, love it when snake games have added mechanics like this one does, especially the boost. I am not proud to admit it though, when I discovered I could just hold the boost and maintain the speedup even when I ran out of the meter, I abused the heck out of it haha though it felt like I started to randomly take damage after a while so maybe karma was punishing me?
Either way, fun game!

Love and BoxingReally enjoyable game. Very addictive. Very satisfying eating the zombies and I loved the camera effect when you boost. You can't say no to a cute snake game. I enjoyed a lot. i could play this for hours or between breaks. Great job!

Mirrors of the AncientsNice, simple, and straight forward. I like the addition of zombies. What are your thoughts on how to add a 15 seconds wow factor into this game?

Left Socksmore zombies,...
:P
totatly could do more with the visual to be fair,
and I had an idea of a "super" that you could collect and activate for a big super snake to clear the screen.
more pies? :P
not sure yet, but got a bag full of tricks and ideas. just need to sit down and think about those sorts of things from the course, and bring it together into a bigger plan
