Based off Retro Snake. In this game instead of playing the Snake you play as the 'Food' which in this game is a Mice. It's also a nod to prey (mice) vs predator (snake), despite being a prey the mice tries to win against the snake.

Thanks to everyone that played and left feedback on 'Mouse' I had a great time making it and had an even better learning from your feedback and comments.

Thanks and see you in the next jam :)

Well done! I really liked making the snake go after you instead of the other mice.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like the provoke/hide mechanic :)

Great job! Reducing the speed as you rescue more mice was a great way to ramp up the difficulty

Developer

Thanks I'm happy you liked the difficulty increase!

Excellent game! The idea in itself is simple, but the execution is truly well done. I like that the mouse becomes slower while the snake becomes longer by eating. One wish is that the slow effects should not be as strong as it is now. Anyway, the art is great (also very clear) and the music is fits the game perfectly. The sound effects are also good. I think that it is good that the rules are always on the right side of the screen. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the in-depth feedback, very helpful!

Yes the slow effect is quite strong when you get close to winning which makes it difficult, I hope you still had fun though :)

a much better snek game than mine, i mean, all snek games are better than mine xd

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

Everyone has their own unique spin I wouldn't say anyone is better than the others it comes down to the player's personal preference :)

Among all these Gluttonous Snake games, i find this one would be the best for its good balance and reasonable and neat mechanic. To be honest, i feel a bit addicted to this game.

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback!

I'm glad it was balanced!

Ill try out your game too :)

Great game! It has a very interesting concept and fun mechanics to it. I enjoyed it and got a little addicted playing it ahahah

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Love to hear that you enjoyed playing it :)

Balance is GREAT! Good job. It reminds me a tad of my own submission, in a different manner.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll need to try your game out then!

Submitted(+1)

Love the balance in difficulty, but the snake still has a bit of an edge over you. Great submission overall!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yes the snake does get faster than you when you get closer to winning which makes it tougher, I still hope you had fun!

Submitted(+1)

Really enjoyed this, also the distraction mechanic is fun. Got a glitch where I stood to the side of the snake and died even tho I didnt walk into it. Great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback and bug report!

It looks like the collider might be too big I'll reduce the size of it thanks again!

Submitted(+1)

I like this. I  really like the natural difficulty curve where you slow down as you rescue more mice and the snake gets harder as he eats more. Really good game, nice one.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I'm glad you like the difficulty increase, I hope it wasn't too hard!

Submitted(+1)

I had a similar idea, really liked your implementation tho. Figured it makes more sense to run around as a mouse or a rabbit, could've used it in my game.
Still, a great submission! Had a lot of fun :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!

The original snake used an apple which would have been a bit odd if it moved around so I changed it to a mice haha

Yes another snake game! I always enjoy playing games with different takes on similar ideas, ill try it now!

Submitted

That was a pretty fun little arcade game! I appreciate that you had the controls work with both WASD and the arrow keys, as my hands were getting tired from furiously mashing to get away from the snake. It's definitely a challenge too, I wasn't able to beat it. Well done!

Developer

I'm happy you had fun!

Yes the game does get difficult as you get close to winning, I definitely will make it easier but I hope you still enjoyed it :)
