It's a pretty good way to implement the game jam theme. Good game, it's nice. Congratulations!

Submitted

pretty nice game. simple use of the theme but still cool and its pretty fun, although in some level generations I was able to hide behind a rock where the snake couldnt reach and get an infinite score, but that's not a super big deal. 

Submitted

This was a neat little game. It wasn't the first game with this concept I've seen this jam, but it certainly tackled it well. I feel like the snake's pathfinding had some issues, as it was easy to avoid it by hiding behind a rock. I try to avoid game concepts that require any sort of "bots" (eg, the snake in this game that pretends to be a player-controlled character) because of how hard they are to get right in a short game jam. The only direct feedback I have is that I don't feel like it should count as a loss if you (as the apple) touch the snake's tale, as snakes don't eat from their tales, and it feels awkward when I lose to it. Also, the snake during the countdown seems a little broken, with their tail section not being connected to their head, but that's only a minor graphical issue.

Simple but addicting. Rocks are my bane. Stopping at 97 but I'll try to beat it next time.

Submitted

Simple and fun.
I wasn't very good on it, butI got a score of 180 because the one randomly spawning obstacles was just close enough to the edge that I had a little nook to hide in that the Snake couldn't fit inside.

Submitted

Was simple, fun, and nicely colourful. Controls worked really well but I did find it hard to avoid the snake if it really went after you (which I suppose makes sense). 

Submitted

I think the framerate bug got to me, was pretty much impossible to avoid the snake once it focused on you, but the game's super cute and I love the idea of having to hide behind your apples to survive but it also makes it harder

Submitted

Got 80 points. I have played a couple of games like this in the jam already but this is the best execution of this idea so far.

Submitted

simple, very cool

Submitted

Very cute art style, I like the unique design of the snake where its body is segmented too. Good submission

Submitted

Small, but interesting concept!

Submitted

Nice Game!

Submitted

The game is really nice and fun to play, i really like the idea. Just i think that once the snake chase you, it's hard to survive a lot but it's possible to attract him by killing you're apple family so it's ok.

Submitted

Super fun!  I did experience a couple bugs, like when a new piece of the snake spawns, it moves and that can kill you, or the gaps in the snake.  Regardless, super fun, my highest score is 113!

There's a bug where snake can have gaps in-between segments, that's because of the fps you got. Higher fps = shorter snake, lower = gaps. I didn't notice it before and now I can't fix it.

the snake ai is great, love how it changes mind on its target sometimes

I had a lot of fun playing this! My current high score is 259, although I do see myself playing again pretty soon to try to beat that. Well done with everything, this is a genuinely great game.

The game is really beautiful and the music and sounds are also very good. Its also very fun to play and not just escaping but also taking apples is a good idea. The only problem I see is that the snake is much faster than you at the start. But the game is really good. Nice work!

fun game! i liked that the snake can choose to go for you or the other apple, makes it a lot more interesting to play and less same-y. 

Submitted

that snake's got some SPEED. Fun game
