I'm not sure I understand the Win state of the game, is it infinite? There is some challenge to be had in controlling the character and collecting pyramids, but to offer more control, perhaps the length of time you hold down the mouse button would change what speed or momentum your character has while moving.

The game is really difficult to control! I'm afraid that I didn't fully grasped the idea of the controls... *sigh* I believe it needs way more inertia to make it more responsive... It's a shame, because the idea looks fun, specially for a multiplayer game!
The 3D models look very nice!
It have nica animation charakter, sometimes i have little problem with control snak but it is good jobs

I'm really sorry, but I only made it as far as the frog. I did find the frog's controls a lot more intuitive than the snake though! Maybe changing the order of the levels would be a good plan here, and ease the player in a bit!
visually it works well, easy to see where you are most of the time and find your enemy. the shadows help a lot. I could probably have used a helper to help me find the pyramid pickup.
Speaking of that pyramid, I enjoyed having to go and collect it after throwing it out, but often, due to the 1 button control philosophy, it was easier to just plant myself in the wall and shoot the enemy when he was also on the wall. I could have gone with a second button to fire, and an incentive to keep moving. Thanks for sharing your game, I enjoyed playing it!
Didn't get the controls, did try for a while though.
Could have some obstacles to help the snake don't go too crazy.
We also created a game for the jam in case you want to check it :)
My problem is not so much the hard controls but the speed of the enemy. He was overpowered in my opinion (he had really cool animations though :)) . With some tweaking this can become very fun!
Edit: Also the piramid attacks are to random, so it becomes even more difficult to win.
That snake is a b**** to control but I managed to get to the frog only to be the snake again. The animations were pretty top notch though, at one point the antagonist did a forward role and everything!
