Cute game. Love how you added new mechanics so it isn't just plain old snake. The provoke and hide mechanic along with movement slowing as you collect mice work really well together, very smart game design. Like other people say the endgame basically just comes down to waiting for the mice to spawn close to you. You could either decrease the move penalty a little or add a way to drop off or deposit mice to get some of your speed back for an example. Presentation was clean. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Yes the end game is too difficult, I definitely will decrease the move penalty after the jam voting period to make it easier!

I hope you still had fun :)

Cute game, nice presentation. I like the 3D graphics. Really like the hide/provoke mechanic and slowing down as you rescue mice. The last 2 mice feel pretty RNG heavy, where you basically just have to hope they spawn nicely for you. Of course for a quicker game like this, it's not necessary bad that it's tough to win. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for the in depth feedback!

Yes I think I made it too hard at the end I hope you still had fun :)

Very charming game with good presentantion and creativity, honestly, this makes snake way more tense. The early and midgame were very fun, and woth balancing hiding and provoking. I did feel that by the end it was a little too hard for me. Still great work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

It definitely does get too hard when you are close to winning , but I hope you still had fun!

Very cool game idea, and good balancing. The music and art fit well. Good game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks I'm happy to hear you found it balanced and not too hard!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting mechanics! Really cool take on the idea. By the way, we have snake and mice in our game too

Developer

Thanks!

Yes another snake game! I've been trying to play as many as I can seeing different games with similar concept is always fun! I'll check it out now

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed it! I like how you start to get slower when holding more mice. The obstacles placed allowed for strategic plays like luring the snake one way, and going the other. The snappy movement feels good too. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm glad you had fun :)

One of the most creative spins on snake I have seen in this jam yet. Has very intuitive controls, something a lot of jam games struggle with! Great Job!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it!

Glad the controls were fine I didn't really have a tutorial so I was a bit worried haha

Thanks for playing :)

A great take on the reverse snake idea! I love the strategic uses of the provoke/hide ability and the fact that it alternates creates an interesting ebb and flow to the gameplay. I also like the clean and clear presentation. It's maybe a bit too difficult, but otherwise great game!  :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes I made it too difficult :( I definitely should have played test more!

Glad you like the provoke/hide I wanted to add something on top of the regular snake.
Your games teleport mechanic is also something unique which I would've love to add it as another skill if I thought about it and had more time!

After trying out so many snake games in this Gamejam, I'm still able to find new ideas.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Oh you made a snake game too how exciting!

I always love finding games with similar concepts but with their own unique twist!

Hope you had fun in this game, can't wait to try yours!

Great Game! really liked the visuals and the provoke mechanic. I think it becomes a bit too difficult as you progress but nonetheless liked it a lot!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah it does become harder when you're close to winning, I definitely should've adjusted the difficulty, thanks for letting me know!

I'll play your game now :)

Submitted(+1)

fun and simple. with really nice graphics. i especially like how the snake looks like

Developer

Thanks! I didn't think any of the visual I created would get praised haha

Hope you also enjoyed the game play!

I'll check out your game now!

Very addicting game! Took me couple of tries but I just had to finish it. The provoke/hide mechanic added some extra strategy, as well as deciding which mice are or aren't worth saving.

Developer

Happy to hear you finished the game!

Yes! Using the provoke/hide and choosing which mouse to save was exactly what I was going for when I created the game! I'm glad that's how you cleared it :)

I'll try out your game, and thanks for the feedback

Very difficult but really polished and fun with the hide/provoke mechanic!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I think I did make the game too difficult but I still hope you enjoyed it!

I will check out your game as well!

I loved your game! The concept is really novel and the execution is flawless. The game is very difficult, but still enjoyable.

Yep for sure I could have made it easier! But I still hope you enjoyed it!

Great game, though it's quite hard lol

Great game, though it's quite hard lol

Developer

Yes it does get harder when you get closer to winning. Provoking and obstacles are necessary at the end unless you get lucky and a mouse appears next to you haha

Even though it was hard I still hope you enjoyed it!

I'll give your game a try now :)

Submitted(+1)

the game is either hard or i am impatient, but overall pretty fun! i like the little mices following you.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

The game does get a bit harder as the snake will be faster than you near the finish line.

I still hope you enjoyed it though!

Now i'll try your game :)
