Interesting concept! The art is well done and I enjoyed the puzzles. Just needs a snake themed soundtrack.
Thank you! Our sound guy was focussed more on creating an atmosphere fitting for an apple about to meet its demise.
I suspected that we would see a lot of "X game but you are the Y" for this jam, but this is my favourite so far. Having to predict the enemy movement like a Snake from the game would makes for a fantastic puzzle game. Very ominous too!
Thank you very much!
Nice idea. the art looks really cool, and fits well together
Aww, thank you, i'm the artist guy
Thank you, our artist will like this one! It took awhile for us to get the artist to make art that fit together with the theme. The first few prototypes had fish and a square sea sponge making burgers.
This is a great execution of the concept, really great music and art, amazing puzzle game
Thank you! Besides being an amazing puzzle game it is also an existensial horror depending on your attachment to apples.
I really REALY liked the creep apple!!
and the sound, now that a great touch
Great levels! I liked how there was variation between pushing the boxes to kill the snake and luring the snake into a trap. Also loved the level where the snake must run into themself!
Thank you! To expand on variation we also had plans for levels like "go on a date" with Snake or "go fishing" with Snake and of course "bond with Snake over a lack of arms" but alas we only had 48 hours.
Nice Job, the snake music had no right to slap that hard!
It had every right actually, check the license ;)
Thank you, I loved making it :)
Our music guy is very talented artist as well, in fact he made title screen background :)
Really nice! the puzzles are increasing in a good manner! The Ai seems to be pretty smart most the time! I really like it! Good job!
Thank you! Balancing the levels was an important job that we took with upmost priority and not in the last 40 minutes. Also "most of the time" the Snake AI is one of the best u can get, when it makes a mistake it does so on purpose. No bugs here, only apples, snakes and seeds. :P
Great little game. The plant seed idea is top notch!
Just remember you are sacrificing your own kind with every seed planted. Think of the children... as worthy sacrifices!
Very solid idea. But at start didn't understood it's topdown, not platformer)
Tileset has some flaws, it might look side-view in some cases. I hope you enjoyed regardless!
That is because we made it a platformer just for you but then quickly made it top down to confuse you. Remember every copy of Apple's Misnake is personalized. And haunted.
very fun game! sometimes i win accidentaly but when i win because of strategy, it was very rewarding. cool idea as well.
Thanks!
Really neat, very nice puzzle elements with trying to trap the snake ai. really interesting!
Thanks a lot! Snake AI is very stupid, he likes green apples the most.
I really like this take on Snake, but it felt like most levels could be beat with the same solution, making it not a very good puzzle game . Great action game though! I enjoyed playing it for a good couple of levels, I was hooked.
Yeah, we didn't want to make game too hard. Im glad you enjoyed it anyway :)
Goog idea of classical game, also style of the game is really nice, the difficulty of levels is pretty balanced.
Thanks!
Wow, really great job! I played a bunch of these levels and thought the designs were really creative. Some of the puzzles required really fast/precise movement, but still very fun and the music kept me pumped.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Also you can skip the level if you died 5 times :)
I love this game! It's both a puzzle AND an action game which made it really gripping :)
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Awesome creativity! Love how many levels there were as well, you must have worked hard!
Thanks! Your take on Snake was also cool!
Your music is really good too. What DAW did you use?
Ableton Live 10 for both the soundtrack and sound effects :)
Thank you very much, and yes we did worked really hard on this, one of the programmers barely even slept :D
Im good man as well
What a great little puzzler. It's a really good use of the jam's theme
Thanks a lot!
Love how such a simple idea provided so many great levels and ideas. I saw the thumbnail and figured it would be just a simple take on the snake-game, but it was so much different.
Also the music was so good!
Thank you for your feedback!
Very good take on the theme!
I didn't think you could make so many interesting levels out what seemed like a simple idea.
Well done!
Thanks!
