Portals? Non-linear movement? Snake fractals? Bcat just keeps pushing the boundaries of what is even possible in puzzle games. This game is amaizng, the puzzles are great and concept is as novel as it gets. Still working on level 9 but can tell it's a great puzzle. This time the presentation is great too, the music makes the whole vibe even more wonky as I watch the snake do super unpredictable things like multiply themselves or disappear into thin air.

I absolutely loved this! (Spoiler for a wacky solution for level 10 below

Really funny game. For whatever reason the "cheat button" doesn't work, but the levels were pretty nice.

I also love your art style, I get those "Graphic design is my passion" kind of vibes from your games.

Something like that :

Didn’t go that far, but I LOVE the concept ! Also that might’ve been a nightmare to code so congrats ! The end result is very polished, although the difficulty curve didn’t feel very linear :)

You. Are. A. Legend.

For those who don’t know, Bcat is a frickin’ wizard. He makes these games with graphics that objectively suck, but it still impresses the hell outta people that play them for just how utterly insane and deranged the mechanics are. If you like puzzle games, you absolutely have to play them right now. This guy deserves way, way more attention.

11/10. This is yet another banger from Bcat, without a doubt. Mark has to see this.

Great idea, especially the last level is fun. I haven't figured out how to beat level 9 though.

Banger idea, when I got to the portals my mind was blow, really clever mechanic!

oh... OH...
This gets so cursed so fast! I love it!
There really isn't much to complain about, this is an awesome puzzle game, with simple, yet unique gimmick, and the game definitely escalates it.

This is super cool! Especially the size changing effect of the portals. Theres a similar feature in my game where changing the size of the player is just an effect of the main mechanic. And you have some great level design here!

Submitted(+1)

Oh I adore this! The first thing I instinctively did when the portals showed up is do something crazy wild with them, and I did NOT expect it to get that wild. Absolutely amazing work!

Submitted(+1)

super creative idea, and I love the execution. Well done

Submitted(+2)

The idea is very clever! But the system becomes cursedly complex way too fast.

Also I am starting a petition to change snake head with the face in circle or the catgirl face :)

Great game! I'm instantly hooked by any game with portals, and this game did it very well! I'd like to have a sandbox mode or something...

Perfect! The triple portal is interesting...

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game! It was a lot of fun playing around with portals and solving these puzzles.

This was so much fun to play! I was really invested in finishing it!

The portal mechanic was a lot of fun and very creative.

Submitted(+2)

loved the mechanic of growing and shrinking with the portals!

Couldn't do level 3 & 9 but I was still hooked! I love it!
