That snake gives chills to my spine! And i like it does, feels cool to avoid it! My highscore was 19! 

Developer

Thanksss! :D so we indeed achieved what we wanted :D 19 score is good :D

An addicting game with polished graphics and a clever twist on the classic snake concept. The voice lines and ability to guide the snake makes the game really addicting. Although I had a slight learning curve at the beginning, the overall experience was fantastic. Good job!

Really fun game. 

Had some low-key horror vibes with the sound of the snake, and the anxiety of running away from something. 

Best I got was 9.

Oh yeah, we wanted to transfer horror mood of being chased to player, glad to hear that we achieved that. Thanksss!

I love how, unlike a lot of other snake games this jam, your entry retains the natural increasing difficulty of the ever lengthening snake. Well done.

Developer

Thanksss! We tried to keep original snake spirit as much as we could, I'm glad it worked :D

Extremely fun game. I would have enjoyed it a bit more if the object we passed over didn't slow us down. Overall, I liked it. Good job!

Developer

Very interesting kick mechanic, I found myself wanting a few more layers to the mechanic, which is a good thing for a jam game. Overall I enjoyed it, very cool.

Developer

Thanksss! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and found the kick mechanic intriguing. Your suggestion for more layers to the mechanic is noted for future updates. We appreciate your positive review!

This is incredibly fun and addicting! Probably the best gameplay of any reverse snake game I've played so far in the jam. (one of which I made!)

The snake is implemented in a great way. Its acceleration and speed are absolutely perfect for this gameplay, which makes the game very fast-paced. It's almost faster than you, which makes it feel threatening.

The food-kicking mechanic is masterfully designed and implemented. Because the food lures the snake away from you, it's beneficial to kick the food away from the snake. However, you get points when the snake eats the food, so kicking it directly into the snake is beneficial. This way, kicking the food almost always results in a good outcome, and makes you feel like a wizard. The mechanic is also polished and satisfying.

The voicelines are goofy and the art is very impressive for a game jam this short. Great job :)

Btw. the volume slider doesn't work on browser.

Developer

that review is honey on your ears, this review warms my heart. Thanksss <3

It looks very impressive for such a time limit, an interesting idea and implementation, I didn’t meet any errors or something like that during the game, it’s quite convenient and easy to play

Developer

Thanksss! :D

Really fun although I had some brain lag at the beginning and didn' understand what to do (even though it was so clear).They graphics of the game as well as the itch io page are really nice put together! My highscore was 16! (I am not so good at these kind of games)

The sounds of the snake made it a little scary but definitley not unpleasant to play! Great work in general! 

Some things I have stumbled across and would like to see fixed in an update:

- the music in the start screen has a weird bug when waiting too long or pressing start

- I think you move a little faster when moving diagonally

- that's it! Great game and good luck!

Thanks again for the comment under our game!

nicely twisted snake game!
I love how you reversed the original game, and kicking the fruit is a great idea
very clever!

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed! Thanksss!

Damn the voice lines really add to the game! Did you do something special in post-processing them?

Very addicting :)

Developer(+1)

yeah, our audio wizard Kostek post-processed voices on point, thanksss!

Submitted(+2)

Being able to kick the fruit adds so much more to this game concept! My favorite part were the voice-over threatening sound effects. Really adds a lot of character the snake! Well done.

Developer

thanksss! yeah, thats shame that we didn't added more visual info about kicking in-game :C lesson for future I guess! :D

Submitted(+2)

Really addicting game loop you got here. Found myself lost in repeats itching for a higher score. The graphics are super polished, everything looks really appealing and cohesive. The sounds were also great, loved hearing the snake making threats as you kick the fruit. Tight scope, great execution. Really well done.

Developer

thanks! in some version of the game,, snake was charging so fast that snake voice turned that game into horror game xD thanksss for feedback!

Submitted(+2)

Definitely the best game i've played so far with the concept of "arcade game with a twist". The polish and visual consistency are on another level for a game jam game. I got 25 points!

Developer

those words means so much for us, thanksss! 25 points is pretty good also! :D

Developer

haha yeah, we found balance in controls like 4 hours before deadline :D thanksss!
