Immediately neat to see volume controls! Great way to make a first impression.
Love the "Generating Level" intermission screen; a nice little touch. Lots of comments saying how polished the game is and it's things like this that really make it shine. The pre-start info/instruction box is great too, if a little on the small side when not playing fullscreen.
Easy to pick up but brutal enough to provide a healthy challenge, especially if you miss a door! Still trying to beat my embarrassingly bad score. Good show! Fantastic jam entry!
Really cool game with lots of very cool details, like how the camera zooms in and out when you enter a new room!
The music fits the gameplay great and the art is cohesive and you can clearly see what is happening on the screen. I like how you combined the gameplay of Snake with the theme of the jam. It's lots of fun to destroy the portals and to eliminate the enemies. And it's great that you get some special abilities to play with as well. Great job!
Great take on the Gauntlet mechanics. As many people pointed out, it's polished. Feels like a complete game. The objective is clear, and I enjoy the switch up of being the "baddie".
Also wanted to let you know that the first few times I played, none of the cave walls were visible. After a couple restarts (death, then restart) the walls showed up and the problem has not occurred again. This was on Windows.
Great entry Kota and Artsy! I really enjoyed playing this. It has a lot more polish than I was expecting and the gameplay is compelling. It's easy to imagine this being refined and extended into a commercially viable game.
thanks so much for playing and for commenting! :) it was a lot of fun to work on and wouldn't have been possible if you hadn't hosted the jam so thank you for doing that!
thanks for trying it out! it's definitely a wip but we're happy with what we could put together in the limited time.
we were going to try to find a third party track on jamendo but last night at 3am i got the beat bug and couldn't resist trying to make a simple track so those were what ended up making it into the jam XD

Great Game. Loved to see the volume control and full-screen options.

Thank you for pointing out the camera movement haha. That was actually a bit tricky to get right! XD
Definitely closer to snake than gauntlet haha but yeah, we put in a couple small elements in there.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!?! I played your game it was great!! I suck at snake so I couldn't do more than 17 miners XD
but I think it was really interesting and the visuals were great! Artsy did a great job!
Very nice of you to include sliders for the audio.
hahaha thanks for trying it out 🤣🤣
I think I did previously hear that the difficulty doesn't ramp up enough so that will be something to think about moving forward.

oh very strange to hear about that bug. I haven't seen that yet. I'll keep an eye out for that.
And thanks for the comments!
This is neat. I am trying to make the biggest snake possible. This is super addictive and this is surely a winner that should be out there.
thanks armd for the kind comments! i think we're both hoping to work on this a little bit further, so stay tuned! ;)

You're very welcome. Feedback like this is what makes it worthwhile.
Cool snake game, I like the idea of eating enemies/spawners as the snake and all the sprites are really pretty :D
Also good job on the music :)
Can't really think of any criticisms.
Maybe the specials could have been more fun, but I'm not sure how 🤔
Thanks for the comment! The specials are definitely something which we need to think a bit more on :)
wow! amazing game! I'm terrible at it, but nonetheless, amazing!
The idea is pretty good and I loved the song. Good job with this game!
