This game is so cool. It is really juicy and mind twisting and everything seem made in the best way! I find a bug where you could simply move on tile and eat you tail dirrectly in some level with no human

How does your game fit the theme?
By eating your own tail and moving on to the next level, you complete an ouroboros loop and turn your rear end into a new beginning.
WASD to move, R to RESTART level
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for fonts
Note: The goal is to loop back to eat your own tail. You can move the brown circular crates. You need to eat all people before looping back to your tail to progress.

Project: XenomouseGreat puzzle game! Seems simple enough, but then you really have to start thinking ahead. SFX and Music are spot on! I like the way the whole board shakes when you eat someone or finish the level. How did you get that effect?

New BeginningsThanks for the feedback!! The board shake effect comes actually is done through camera movement. It looks like the board is moving but it’s actually the camera! When you eat a person, it plays an animation where the camera shakes and a transparent UI element appears to make the screen change color. Hope that helps!
I'm not a fan of puzzles, but this was a nice one, you got a nice interpretation of the theme!
Great work :D

Shoot 'n LootGreat job on the theme! This jam had a tough theme to make mechanics for, but I think you nailed it. The core gameplay was well made and fun to play, the visuals and sound were cohesive, there was lots of content to enjoy, and you went really far with the one mechanic without making it too complicated. The level design was clever, and the goal was crystal clear (assuming the player knows what an Ouroboros is). Really not much to complain about at all! All it needs is a small tutorial.

Temporal ParadoxGood puzzle designs! I suggest you have some in game explanations or clues when adding new mechanics. The wood barrels and eating people were quick enough to learn, however the gates with the counters on them were less obvious.
I think it's challenging to layout these kind of puzzles, so great job.

AscentA really cool puzzle game! I love the art and the music really nice and relaxing. I think my only criticism would be to add some text or something to the start to explain certain mechanics in the game like the boxes you can move. Otherwise awesome entry!

In My Next Life...A fun and pretty well made little puzzle game. The visuals is good, the idea is fun, and I overall had fun playing the game. The introduction to the game mechanics could have been a been better, and it took me some time to really understood what I was suppose to do. But anyway a good jam game. Well done.
