How does your game fit the theme?
The theme of the Game Jam was “An end is a new Beginning”. In our approach we brainstormed around the idea of the theme, while eliminating from the beginning the obvious rebirth concepts with different abilities and/or controls. In the matter of video gaming “An end is a new Beginning” theme, represents mainly Dungeon Crawlers types of games as well as the iconic Baba is You (if the theme is read appropriately). In our approach, we concluded upon the full-stops which define an end in a sentence and the beginning of a new one. As the game evolved during this one-week development journey, we included as mechanics for all three options for punctuating the end of a sentence; a period “.”, an exclamation mark “!” and a question mark “?” . Each punctuation mark devoured by our protagonist, the centipede, acts as a new body - a new life or a dangerous obstacle. Reading the monologue the player has to decide upon eating the punctuations. The UI implements the idea of the theme as continuous Experience, with smooth transitions between the Main Menu, the Game and back.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code has been written from us.
Most of the assets have been created from us, the one not created from us, are mentioned within the game in the Credits Section.

Glad you liked it!
This was really good, and I spend FAR too long to see it to the end. And yes, I did read the whole thing lol (I seen the first 80% of it enough times to be theatrically monologuing it to myself as I played). The aesthetics are beautiful, and I adore that you credited your cat.
thanks! it's super cool to read such a comment! did you see the end ? (please reply with no spoilers for others if you saw it!)
We appreciate that you sent so mush time to see the end. I hope it was worth it!
WOW CONGRATS! you just made the whole team happy! you are the first one to comment that finished our game! Now it's up you to decipher the ending, till Chapter 2 drop after the GameJam.
Thanks for spending time appreciating and finishing our game. :)
(we removed your comment to not spoil anyone else)
I'm glad I could do that for you all! As someone who has entered games in previous jams that next to no one seemed to be able to beat, I fully understand the joy of someone finally doing it and am glad to oblige. Its funny, because I actually played through a second time to show my wife (while I still died a few times, it was much easier the second time round). I look forward to Chapter 2
Definitely one of the best looking games so far and the whole idea is very original. The gameplay was kinda monotone for me, but that’s probably my fault for dying and restarting all the time
Oh come on, the game is super easy man....give it a try, maybe you'll find something more intresting as you crawl down the page!
Fun game, It took me a bit to figure out what to do but once I got it became addicting Very good game.
you should check out my game if you get the chance! :)
Thanks for your comment. I played your game and loved it!
this was so innovative, a completely new game style, you're such a genius!
you're so talented, the game reminded me of christopher nolan's movies xD
woow thanks! that's incredible if we made you feel like a christopher nolan's movie !! :D
Wow, just wow. This is amazing, the mood and writing is good. The movement feels snappy. The sound is immersive. One of my favourite submissions so far. It is difficult but I think it fits well. Good Job!
Thanks a lot from here as well!!
thanks! you are the first one to mention the writing! yep it is difficult, but not impossible. more in the rage-quit genre, but if you manage to make it further writing will reward you!
cheers!
I'm surprised, it makes the game. I will defiantly come back to it to try and finish it ha ha
Very atmospheric, I love the music selection.
Thanks! Props to our sound designer!
Very cool!! Creative all the way and I'm a huge fan of tutorials/instructions as part of gameplay so I loved it. Audio and visuals also fit very well.
Thank you so much!!
Amazing game, its a simple and yet realy fun game to play. the game is also realy wel designed, like gow you are forced to go into a . at the begining and how the spacing between words gets smaller and smaller. also graphics and audio is amazing
great game. keep it up♥
Thanks a lot man for testing it and for the kind words. I will test and rate yours as well in a bit , it was in my list.
Wow what a cool and creepy aesthetics and feel! Awesome idea, and fun to play :) Well done!
Thanks a lot!
This is incredible. I really can't say anything else about this. Everything about this is amazing. 1st hands down 5 star no doubt. Great job!!
Thanks a lot man! Very much appreciated and thanks again for checking it out!
okay, VERY clever take on the theme! easy 5 stars from me :) The art is just beautiful, and the concept is like nothing i've seen before. Great job!
thanks for the kind words we really appreciate it! :D
thanks!
Wow this is really unique and creepy in an awesome way. Truly refreshing, great job!
Thanks a lot man!! We appreciate it.
Your comment is very much appreciated! Creepiness is part of the experience!
Awesome artstyle, and a unique gameplay!
Really nice game overall
Thank you!!!
Fantastic idea! Lovely atmospheric sounds and music. Impressive zoom in at the start. I liked the mix of words and arcade action. Kept getting knocked back by the word 'consume' though.
Thank you!! Did you try to dodge the letters? is there a problem with the collider of the letters?
I kind of kept to the right, but didn't try going between the words/letters. I used the arrow keys to manoeuvre, perhaps I missed some instructions somewhere or should've been braver :-).
You did well to go to the right in the beginning, as the game advances, you have to go through the words. The instructions are within the text itself, the first paragraphs. Some bonus instructions and mechanics are not displayed for the players to find out and enjoy the findings!
Cool! I've saved it in a collection for later. Noticed the game getting some mentions on Discord, so hopefully some more ratings will come this way :-)
One of the best games I've played this jam so far, you guys did an amazing job on this game! The only thing I would change is the hitbox of the text, but overall, love it!
Thank you again! we really appreciate it! :D
Dude, well done the art style is so good and haunting. You really nailed the atmosphere and I'm a sucker for games like that. Good work, looks like someone put some effort into this.
Thanks a lot! Yea whole team worked for 1 week to produce the best results. :D
You really took "Snake Game" to a whole new level. Definitely a well deserved rating.
Credits to our art & sound designer, who realy gave this feeling to the game and made it creepy AF
pretty nice
Thanks! :D
WOW! this is an absolutely stunning game that uses the theme really well
Thanks a lot!!
Holy $#!7. Amazing Idea! The graphics really creeped me out. Took a while to get a hang of the controls, but epic game nonetheless
Thank you!!!
