Nice game :D Really liked that you added another concept (controlling multiple foods) in addition to just being the food instead of the snake

I like how the goal is inverted from the typical goal of snake. Instead of moving the food pieces to help the snake grow, you're actively trying to sabotage it. Quite a creative take on such a classic game! I do wish the snake had some indication of its next direction so you could plan/strategize a bit more, though

Timespace Sequenceneat game! I like how you had us be responsible for moving all the food and I actually think its got some unique puzzle elements when you have to try and find optimal moves so as to not lose any or too much food. I think my feedback is that it would be nice if we had some indication of where the next piece of food was going to fall so that we could try and optimize the position. Good job, thanks for sharing your game.

Bad BowlingRNGesus take the wheel. Really good concept! I was a bit confused at firt, thinking it was my job to feed the stupid blind snake, but then I read the description - but both the actual game, and the game I made up by accident, were fun takes!

My Own Worst Enemygreat, fun little game, well done, can you also play my game so i can get feedbacks please!!

Color ReversedFun concept! I learned that I do not have the mental ability to control so many pieces at once lol!
I would love to have some kind of "incoming!" signal for where the next pieces would spawn, as then I could make some attempt to purposely stack them or something; but I also understand that that would make the game play out pretty differently.
Good luck in the jam!

It Does Not Belong in a MuseumA simple idea well implemented.
And it's not easy!! I played for a while until I could win!

The RevengeNot the first reverse snake that I played, but this is by far the best one I played. Very original and unique twist on the snake formula. Adding a bit of "juice" would make it even better. Cheers!!!

Earth Defenderit was fun but tough XD I tried to meta game by using both WASD and arrows at the same time, but the cost of that is higher fall off risk XD when I got to 8 foods, I thought the best strategy was stand still and pray for RNG. So one small piece of feedback is to make the snake AI a bit less random, but well done all the same!
If you can find the time, would you please check out our game as well?
Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it. Hope you'll like it!

Vikings FrontCool game! At first, I've thought it was impossible to win, but somehow i actually did!

Of Mice and SnakeThe optimal strategy seems to be keeping all food clustered, and it is quite hilarious to watch a group of food running full speed to catch the pieces falling from the sky before they have landed too far.

Raspberry WineThis is great fun! I didn't realise until I died that the snake ate any food that touched it, not just at the head. It got really tense as it went on and my collection and the snake grew.
My cheese strat was to try to gather all the food together and drop any that were too far away, but it was still very challenging, I love it

UnChessCrazy that you managed to make 2 games in one jam (would love to see the baby simulator)
The game is simple but fun enough, good job :-)
