How does your game fit the theme?
It's like Snake, except you play as the Pellet. Additionally, the role of the snake as an enemy and friend are reversed, as not only is it a threat, but it is also your only defense against other enemies.

The best snake game entry! after a while it becomes very hard and becomes really fun!
A cute game that now you are a little food for the snakes and bugs, it ramp-up slowly and will become a bullet hell like game if you don't let the bug get eaten quickly. It's super polished and well-made, love the game.
There's a few games like this, but this one is AMAZING. It's very addictive and polished! I found a bug where at first only the W key worked, but after I died, it was fixed! The artwork is also really great!
Really good concept, loved it!
Cute little game. Felt a little slow-paced in the beginning, but managed to find a good difficulty after a little bit.
When the third snake entered the game, I started to experience a small amount of lag on snake movement frames, maybe there’s some room for optimization in that code?
Yes, the snake's pathfinding is not particularly well optimized. I'll be going back and improving that after the jam, shouldn't be too hard. Just ran out of time. :D
Thanks for your comment!
Great game! The graphics are really good, the snake graphic is awesome, but the pellet is kinda lame, it would be nice to see some animation. The music is great, reminds me of the arcade games, but the sfx could be a bit louder. I really like the games wide variety of entities, great game design! Overall an amazing game, especially for a 48 hour jam!
(It deleted my comment because of connection issues but whatever)
This game is so good! I love the art, progressively harder gameplay, and multiple music tracks! It was a bit strange to freely move around the grid map while almost everything else was locked to rigid movement, so I wonder how the game would play if you were locked to the same grid as the snake. This is a fun game regardless though!
This game is so good!!
Awesome entry! This is really clever twist on a classic game. I like how you introduced extra dangers for the player to dodge.
I could see this being expanded upon. There's so much more room to do creative things with this game.
Excellent work!
Very good game design. Reversed Snake plus extra enemies. Only got to level 13 :( But i'll try it again to see what happens at level 15.
This is a really fun game, the graphicsh are also realy nice.
Altough the sounds are a bit minimalistic everything else is amazing.
This could be a really fun mini game type project.
Good job!
The game is great! The progression feels very good and the game becomes more difficult as you play with more enemies and stuff. The game is super polished and the music and sounds were very good. It was really fun to play and very well made for 48h. Congrats!
Great game concept! It feels so finished for a jam game and is a lot of fun!
I sadly wasnt able to get to level 15 so I might never know what happens (I don't have a lot of time, need to review a lot of games) But I will definitely add it to my addictive game jam gems and try after the rating is over!
Great game!
And also thank you for the comment under our game, means a lot to me !
Great work on making a game that feels complete and is fun. Love the different sounds and the different mechanics to make sure the game gets a bit harder as you play on! Well done.
Really fun and polished game. I made it till level 8 on my first try! It is a bit challenging, but in a really satisfying way. Having to trick the snake into eating the environmental dangers is brilliantly done. The snake AI itself is also responsive enough that our manipulations feel like they have a measurable effect. Overall, solid entry that I really enjoyed.
Extremely polished and really fun. I unfortunately wasn't able to get to level 15, though I only tried a few times. I might try again after the ratings, if only to see what's at level 15 ;) The only thing I would like to see is an option to use arrow keys to control, which I find much more comfortable than WASD, but it's not a dealbreaker or anything. Great work on this!
Nice game. I see it has some potential. I enjoyed streaming it.
Having the snake eat the bugs is a nice spin on the concept -- adding another dimension to the gameplay like that was a great idea! The art is really good too! It feels a little bit slow to get started, but really nice work!
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I wish it was just a bit faster or had a quick-start mode of some sort. During testing it scaled up a bit toooo fast so I tuned it down at the last minute, might have been a bad call. :)
PS - If you eat all the bugs, the game immediately advances to the next stage and you get a point bonus. So you can get through the early levels quicker if you play aggressively!
I had this on my idea bucket before I made my game. So happy to see this in execution and in an actual game. It was everything I imagine and more. Great job dude
this game is sooo addictive. some of the best raw gameplay I've seen all jam. super fun take on a relatively simple concept and super polished.
