I loved this! I felt like I was a Pokemon NPC from the older gameboy color games. I like the way you laid out the level, it became very clear really fast that people follow you like in Snake (I guess the title helped explain that as well haha).
One suggestion: Consider making the floor tiled and giving the characters a shadow so that it is more clear if they are going to crash into something. I think the 3d-ish effect makes it slightly hard to tell if something will be hit.
Overall great job!
Thanks for the feed back! Yeah a lot of people suggested the grid system. In the full version that'll definitely be implemented :) thanks for playing!
This is fun, love the theme/art/music and such. Hitboxes seem a little wack, don't really know why though.
yeah in the full version the hit boxes will make more sense. The movement isn't based on a grid so it's easy to be on half a tile and collide with something . Thanks for playing though!
This is what I call an original take on the theme! I absolutely loved the art and especially the humor in this game. Very original and quite challenging. The only "complain" I would make is that sometimes it was not really obvious what is the wall and what is not and hitboxes felt a little unprecise. Great submission!
Dang, this is a fun challenge! The concept is hilarious and well executed, I especially enjoy the little touches with the dialogue boxes. The music you made fits the art assets you utilized, and keeps a nice sense of pace without being overbearing, so well done on that. I think the only gameplay part I found frustrating at times is that I wish the movement were on a grid, as it is in traditional snake, because it was difficult with the art to always know where the hit-boxes were. In all though, well done!
Awesome game! I love tough games to complete and I am proud to have saved 15/15 people (after many tries).
The idea is fun, the artwork is awesome, gameplay is straightforward. I'd only be more careful about hitboxes because they are the core of the game and when my toe touches the outer edge of a fire's hitbox it makes for a sad ending! 😭😂
Good job! Really fun to play though
Congratulations on beating it! That is no easy feat. You sir are a master!
Dig this game, I like the inspiration taken from snake. I wasnt able to get all of the people out but I got close! Well done for 48 hours.
It was fun but I had some issues determining what I could run into. Also I enjoyd the title
Part of that is because I had to change how collision worked half way through development. Most colliders are pretty lenient (You have to hit the center of the object to actually be out) But some got left really tight. In the full version it'll be more consistent :)
Nice idea and I like the "but it's in a mall and on fire" XD. I think it's a bit confusing to know what I can't run into and it doesn't feel like the game should be over if you bump into one of the people you have already joined with
Thanks for the feed back! We wanted to keep the same feel as the game snake where you can't touch your tail or you lose. I do agree that it doesn't "feel" right, and in our full version I want to make it feel more intuitive to not touch your followers.
Snake game but in a different theme! I like the idea, however gameplay-wise, it's a bit too hard, I wish the only obstacles are the props. It is a bit illogical that we 'die' when we bump into the shoppers that we've 'collected'. Apart from the Ui, I think giving our main character wearing a firefighter uniform would be a nice touch. Anyways, I like the concept!
First off, love the title! The art is super nice, and I also really liked the music! Also loved the personality of the different things the people said when they joined my squad. Overall, a really great entry! Nice work!
Very interesting take on the theme! It was a little finicky and could benefit from a more visible grid, but overall I enjoyed it. Well done.
Nice take on the classic Snake game! Fits the theme well and it's fun to find all the people scattered in the building!
Really good mechanic for the theme, I really enjoyed the visuals and concept of this one even if it was frustratingly hard or finicky at times hahah
This game could definitely use a bit more polish, but that's pretty normal for a jam game :)
Good job!
Edit: Also the name definitely brought me in on this one hahah
Great game and good take on the theme, congrats!
A lot of times I did not agree with having died in the game, but a lot of fun! Very nice idea to mix snake with that concept, good job!
You know what, I've never played a version of snake where the things you need to pick up are moving, much less running and screaming while trapped in a burning building XD A truly unique take on a classic and quite fitting for the jam. Excellent work!
Pretty fun! The whole game is just charming. I the title, and the little things the npcs say are funny, and the gameplay is pretty engaging. I think the hitboxes should be smaller, because I found myself getting hit by the npcs a lot while trying to get past them. Overall fun game :)
Nice job! I enjoyed this take on snake and the interesting style for graphics. Overall this was fun to play and a great entry to the jam. :)
Thank s for playing!
Incredible concept! The title is just pure genius. Didn't manage to save everyone but had lots of fun!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
