Creative theme! I ran into some bugs here and there but still had tons of fun. A unique, chaotic experience, awesome!
I liked the concept of this game, but honestly, I felt that I was having lots of more fun diving into the scissors themselves xD
Snakuzel needs a haircut asap
I like the geometric hair and the way the scissors chip at it. From a bullet hell point of view, it's pretty impossible to dodge, as a player you don't get satisfaction?
This took me a few tries but finally got it to run in chrome -fun game with a silly concept -i liked it! Good job! :D
The game doesn't want to run for me. It loads up to 100% and after a few minutes still nothing happens. Tried refreshing, tried using microsoft edge (usually I use firefox), but it wouldn't work :(
Oh no! Aside from refreshing the page I've got no suggestions I'm afraid. Try imagining a snake with lovely golden hair and you'll at least get part of the experience.
Not sure how I made it to level 8, the success of the player feels quite luck based as the scissors travel faster than the player and the hair delay puts dodging out of your control.
I really enjoyed the take, even if it was puzzling, first game to put a big ole grin on my face before even getting to level 1.
A little bit unfair as you can't really dodge in time with the tail but cool idea.
Fine little game! The concept is really funny, mixing snake with BH, genius. But maybe the fact that scissors can cut your tail is a little unfair, because you can't dodge those :/ But overall very fun game :)
I like snek
Really good idea! Audio is pretty good as well. Maybe scissors could move more in a pattern, rather than randomly. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed playing. Pretty unique take on the bullet hell genre! Well done!
I love the setting! Who wouldnt want to be Snake Rapunzel? Everything fits together very well, the setting, the music, the art. The gameplay is straight forward and easy to get into. Well done! Also, great that you included a menu!
Thanks!
"Who wouldn't want to be Snake Rapunzel?" - No one I know :)
I knew I had to play this one when I saw the title! I really enjoyed the vibe of the game. The snake is very cute, the scissor sounds very satisfying, and the music is super relaxing.
The snake bullet hell combination is a really interesting concept, but I think the choice of bullet pattern (i.e. randomly bouncing around) coupled poorly with it. Many of the scissors traveled fast enough that there was simply no way the hair could get out of the way in time. As such, I found that the optimal strategy was simply to hide in the corner to minimize your hitbox, rather than trying to dodge the scissors. I was able to get 25 points by hiding in the top-left corner, as opposed to 8 when I tried to play for real.
I think with a more fitting pattern, the snake-based gameplay could have been a really unique experience. As an example, a line could be drawn across the screen and a few seconds later everything along that path would be snipped. This pattern would provide players with the opportunity to ensure their tail is out of the way with correct play.
Thanks for the feedback! We ran out of time before we could fix the 'hiding in a corner' technique, but I love your idea of the snipping line. Would add a bit more strategy to the gameplay :)
Fun and interesting combination of classic genres, made it to round 7!
I like the idea, and the whole game (including menu) is nicely themed around it.
The combined mechanic of snake and bullet hell is quite hard, but interesting. I found that bouncing against a wall and reducing your speed helped, since it reduced your hitting area.
Very nice game overall!
Very cool idea! Quite difficult because you have to think ahead a bit. Nice job!
Well done Jon and Beth!
