Very cute story and a well-made game. The music fits so well! And I got up to 50 points!! And I still want more! I must keep the legs!!
Thanks for playing!! I got my high score up to 56, but it took me ages so I'm impressed xD
I feel so bad for the snake when I die and lose my legs like a newbie :(
It's fair now because I felt bad when my incompetence condemned art to permanent extinction playing your game :P
Ty for playing!!!
This game is adorable. Love the silly story, very creative and fun. Great art, that's actually amazing you animated an intro scene with dialogue text. Snake running on legs is funny. I was having trouble at first getting over some of the animals, but I realized I had to USE THOSE LEGS for that SPEED! Great job!
Thanks for playing!!! I had fun deciding where legs should go on a snake for maximum ridiculousness :P
Very cool idea. The animations for the snake are super fun! Nice job!
Thanks for playing!!! I'm especially proud of the jump animation haha
That was really cool! I love how it's just two really long legs in the middle of the snake lol
I mean, if I were that snake I might skip the legs and just go straight to wings, but maybe that's the sequel XD
We actually considered wings as an upgrade, but time constraints killed that particular idea lmao. Thanks for playing!!!
Snake Run 2: The Wing Man XD
The animations in the begging looked great, fun game :)
Thanks!! I'm pretty inexperienced with animation but I had a lot of fun ^_^
High-score thread??? Great job on the addictive game :)
Wow!! Highest I know of!!! I really regret not figuring out how to add a scoreboard
Got it :P
I'm not backing down here.... (an unfortunately placed butterfly killed this run lol)
The butterflies ARE hard; they're a bit different since they can move in multiple patterns, and the one you have to jump for is rarer and easy to interpret wrong.
Had multiple 0s and runs below 20 before getting this score, which surprised me when I got it. XD
Please, I don't think I have it in me to get more than this xD
I think I got lucky with a lot of ants in a row which racked up the score pretty quick
I don't know that I have it in me either, lmao! Impressive!
We're considering trying to add a leaderboard after the jam, and we might preload some of the top scores mentioned in the comments. Would you want to be called "CornishPixels" or something else?
asdfjriov;ioanasfdas and I was proud of finally breaking 50 and getting 56 points...
Fun and Simple. Great work! :)
Haha, the story and the dialogues are great :)
At first I thought you need to balance the snake so it doesnt fall, I think it would have been more unique that way but it doest affect much. After I discovered that I just press forward and the game got relatively easier. Really neat intro and sprite animations !
I've found that you need to slow down for some enemies and speed up for others, but that's a pretty solid score! I initially was planning on balance being a mechanic but it didn't feel like it fit in. Do you think that adding obstacles that specifically need a short hop would be an improvement?
Its hard to tell but probably yes, as you would need to do just like in the ants but in reverse. It could create an issue maybe if you dont get enough time/distance between the longer hop and the shorter hop(in case they spawn in sequence).
Yeah, lowered the spawn rate a bit right before posting because it was generating too many unwinnable combinations, but I think it might need some more balancing lol. Thanks for the feedback!
Very basic but I have a blast! the story are very funny and charming and the music its very addictive to listen.
the farther it 29.
Very addictive game! I'd wish that you can see the enemies sooner to prepare though.
To be honest I picked the aspect ratio and made a good chunk of the art before really settling on the gameplay, and I agree that more warning would've been better. 😅 Thanks for playing though!!
Fun, challenging and somewhat addictive. Loved the story and interactive animation together with the sound.
snake walk :-) great idea!
Wow this was an awesome game! I really liked the story animation at the beginning it reminded me of some the cut scenes from computer games I played as a young child.
The gameplay is simple yet fun and the visuals respond well to the gameplay. I also thought the music and sound FX enhanced the fun vibe of the game. Excellent work!
Snake with legs. now that's a really creative concept. I loved the story part tho. It is addictive as well.
Lmao, I didn't expect the snake legs at all. I love the music, the story, and the gameplay. It's simple but hooking. Well done, guys!
Thanks! The snake definitely does the legwork for the game
It was a bit tough at first, but once I got a hang of the controls, it became pretty addictive! Also I love the sprites and art work so much, great job!!
Thank you!
Love the pixel art aesthetic. Simple but fun! I was confused at first because I thought it was a game about balancing, but after awhile i learned it's about controlling your speed.
Thank you! We WERE originally going to make it specifically about balancing, but we changed gears to focus more on the speed control and dodging. The balance worked its way into the speed control and the way it affects your hitbox though
The art style and animated cutscenes are great! The idea is novel though found the game fairly difficult when encountering the ant line.
Thank you! The ant line is definitely a bit tricky. The trick for them is to speed up the moment you see the first ant, and jump at the last moment. They give a good amount of points
