The first two levels of air where fine but the third one kicked my butt! Sometimes on fire when I would die it would respawn me surrounded by fireballs so I would die again immediately. Very neat concept and implementation with fitting sound effects, Good work!
Really nice. The first level (fire) was difficult but the third level (earth) was quite easy. However, the last level (air) is just not possible for me. It seems like the game is registering some keys even on slower pace, and so I wasn't able to finish it.
The music was different for each level giving each level a unique feel and vibe.
Thank you for giving it a try and the comment. Air could definitely be a bit better with timings.
I really enjoyed the retro aesthetic, but there is an issue where if you die, there's a chance to spawn right next to an obstacle and instantly die again. An easy fix would just be to make the player invincible for the first couple of seconds, or not have obstacles start in the middle of the screen for the snake section. I enjoyed the variety of the other minigames though! Great job.
Thanks for giving it a try. Yeah I think some of those little fixes would make certain aspects less frustrating. I agree with you there. I hope you enjoyed anyway!
Cool retro style game. The air level felt a little off with the music, but nice entry. Congrats!
Thanks for giving it a go and the comment!
Good game, but quite hard. I managed to complete the water and earth levels. Fire and air levels were too hard for me. I felt that in the air level, the notes didn't fit too well with the rhythm of the music.
I enjoyed playing something quite different, by the way, the music and the art are very cool!
Fire is pretty split even on people thinking it's too hard, but I agree the air level could be a little easier and I'll try to line the rhythm up a bit better post-jam. Thank you for trying it out and the comment!
Dang, as if the game of snake isn’t hard enough already! Cool seeing a few pico-8 games submitted for this game jam. Nice work!
Yeah, I need to balance that difficulty a bit, =P
fun game with different gameplay. I get stuck on the final level, I think 20 is very hard. Level 4 is hard to hit the right place on beat but fun, which reminded me a Korean game called Audition Online which is full of my child.
pico-8 is cool, I remember one of my friends recommended this to me when he first tried to develop a game. xD
Thanks for trying it out!
an fun and interesting series of games! the music didn't line up with the inputs in the air one, but otherwise this was really well done. it was cool to see so many takes on the theme!
Thank you for trying it out and the comment!
