How does your game fit the theme?
Reverse Snake - the roles of the arcade classic Snake are reversed! Snakes will periodically spawn and chase after you. Try to outmaneuver them and get them to eat their own tails! You may even discover some sneaky tricks... Points are scored for each snake you defeat. Be careful though, you have limited lives!

This is so addicting! Such a simple concept but really well refined, I like how the AI is balanced to be juke-able but they're not extremely easy to trick either.
This was tooooo much fun! Such an ingenius idea! I love how you have to move in such a way to kill the snakes, but that also puts you in danger. With a but more polish this game would be awesome - really well done!
Aw thanks man! Glad you had fun with it! It's risky business riding snakes haha!
I spent a bit too much time playing this, a simple and addictive idea!
Nice idea and solid game well done :)
Starts of difficult but once I realized I can move through and stay on the snakes body, things got interesting. Would have been nice if the fox moved automatically similar to the classic Snake cause It gets painful to keep moving the fox by tapping the key over and over again. Other than that, a solid entry!
Now there are two of them! man that got out of hand way faster than I thought it would
I had a blast riding on snakes for as long as possible to get them to crash. At first I was having a hard time figuring out how to get them to collide, but wow, things ramp up quickly. Real fun little game!
Haha thanks! I'm really glad you had fun with it and enjoyed the tension of snake riding!
Really nice game submission! I would have loved to have 9 lives so to fit the cat theme haha. Maybe next game you can feature a young and hip cow like my self! The game felt very polished! Excellent job!
Jesus if i play another reverse snake game that takes me by surprise again by being really original im giong to lose it lol. Love this man, was not expecting the multiple snakes but it makes the game really feel dynamic and engaging! great work!
The concept seems like it has potential, I hope you find the time to polish it a bit more some day!
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.
That was super fun! I like that you get points for killing the snakes, it means the longer you last the faster you get points. I got to 52! I think some little power ups that randomly spawn like a speed boost or an invincibility where you can kill snakes for a couple seconds would be awesome! great game
52! Nice! That's higher than my best score! Thanks for the feedback. With more time I would like to add a sort of pacman powerup that gives you a window to eat snakes. I might try it out post-jam. Might lean into the snake riding a bit more too haha.
I liked the gameplay, but was confused when I saw you can actually go over the snakes body, would love to see that explained in game :)
Nice little game, it was actually quite head-scratching having to think about how to trap the snakes rather after all these years of doing the opposite.
Very clean aesthetic, fits the theme, and actually fun to play!
Woot! Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome take on the theme!! This one was a lot of fun with a simple idea.
Thanks! Happy to hear you had fun with it!
Really solid, would love to see some rewards pop up for the fox! Baiting the snakes to collide is super fun
Clever take on the theme, simple but enjoyable, and clean presentation. Nice job :)
This game has a surprising amount of depth. I imagined it was going to be somewhat straightforward to win, but there is a decent amount of strategy you can use. Excellent job, one of the most fun I've played today!
Awesome! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :D
Fun concept. I enjoyed trying to hide right behind a snakes head. Felt like high risk/reward.
I noticed you can just hide in the snakes. Fun game tho
That's intentional :) Part of the fun is figuring out how to get the upperhand :D Glad you had fun with it!
