It's the classic Snake, so the player grows when eating food. You get shorter while "boosting" to go faster as well.

Very smart twist on the classic game. I'm not sure I've seen a defensive variant of Snake, but it works incredibly well. I have no critiques - I think you executed this flawlessly. Well done! 🎉
(And as the author of "I'm Just Trying to Pay Off My Student Loans But My Cat Won't Let Me!"... I approve of the absurd title)
A very neat take on a classic game.
The defense twist added to Snake is pretty interesting! As well as the possibility to shrink, which adds its own risks and benefits. This make a nice variant on the classic game. The art and music work really well too! The only nitpicking I'd have is I'm not sure the stomach icon next to the snake is that much useful (unless I've missed its actual purpose). I had a great time playing it and trying to reach a decent score. Good job!
Great take on a classic. Loved the look but especially that tune which is a full on banger like some old school Megaman tracks. Pretty tough challenge, but only cause I'm bad at snake. Well done! :D
Now, how could I not play a game with such a concise title? Pretty good snake game, very juicy, maybe a tad too juicy for my taste. Graphics were nice and a little bit unsettling, but it is a post-apocalyptic world after all. Not sure how much the hunger mechanic added, but defending my eggs was definitely a nice touch. With sprinting and shrinking, I wasn't even sure which one was supposed to be the downside. Some extended input buffering might be nice (so that pressing up and left in quick succession actually makes you go up one tile and then to the left), other than that, controls were fine enough. All in all, a fun little entry, well done!
Alternative title: Snake, but make it juicy!
Loved the wobble animation and the juicyness of everything in this game, also I like the idea to have sort of a tower defense mechanic built into snake. I wish you did something more with the sprint mechanic, because I didn't feel the need to do it so much (expecially because I'm bad at snake and if I sprint I also bump my head very easily).
An idea could be to have the snake mother be invulnerable when sprinting, because she only cares about saving her offspring and not about injuring herself (?). Idk maybe some experiments with playtesters might be needed.
That said this is a pretty solid game, good work!
Great game! Has a good sense of humor and makes the snake gameplay more interesting by introducing more things to avoid. Fantastic work!
Everything with the visuals and SFX are amazing, the gameplay is fun too. Good job!
An interesting twist on snake well done. I did fel like the speed of the rats was a bit jarring, they didn't seem to be moving in time with everything else which threw me off a bit but I really enjoyed the concept. Also I appreciate the sound settings as the volume was incredibly loud by default
Protecting the eggs with the mechanics of the classic Tron work perfect on this frenetick version of Snake. Good music, sfx, art... Everything works together!
But it was dificult to turn just on the edges of the stage, I find myself always pressing the buttons too early :^(
Thank you about the kind words! We may work in the future to make the game's controls more satisfying along with some mechanic tweaks!
I should've known this game would escalate so quickly especially with that title! This was challenging but I enjoyed it and a great take on the genre. Congrats
Wow! Thanks for playing and your kind words <3
this was so fun! difficult as heck, but fun. the art was lovely and the title screen was absolutely killer. great work!
Thank you so much for playing!
very polished game that feels great to play.
Having to defend the eggs is a really nice twist, and using the speed up to get smaller is also a really cool idea considering how valuable being big is. It adds a nice bit of tradeoff that I think works pretty well.
Perhaps the only thing is that the speed up isn't super necessary because of how slowly mice move, they are pretty easy to counter without it. Still a really cool mechanic and with faster on more frequent mice I could totally see it becoming more essential.
Awesome work.
Thank you for the kind words! We have potential plans on how to make new mechanics feel more essential indeed. Will maybe update the game after this Jam concludes :)
Great title game ahahah loved the explosion of the snake! :)
Kudos to @ArMartDev for coming up with both :D
Thanks for playing!
Amazing art, simple but difficult gameplay. over all amazing!
Would really appreciate if you would check out our game!
It got me the first second for its sound. really like the style of story. great job!
I ate my child and I am sad.. Fun game though!
Poor Gregg… Thanks for playing! :D
I really liked this take on the classic snake! Nice art and its quite fun, good job!
Glad you liked the art!! Put all we had into it <3
Very wonderful entry! Game feels nice and punchy. I also love how bright the game turns out to be with the radioactive green snake. The game also has a certain polish that I don’t expect from jam games, like the clean death sequence or the cool hunger mechanic. Certainly see myself playing this again!
We’re thrilled to see you enjoyed our game! Personally, the death sequence is one of my favorite things we put in this :p
I like the added wrinkle to Snake of having little eggs to defend. Being able to shrink yourself is an interesting addition, since the difficulty in Snake usually comes from being too big. I think the idea is that being small makes it harder to protect your kids, but it's pretty easy currently to eat the rats when you can zoom over to them. The kids are the real obstacle!
A+ on the presentation. I love being an exploding snake mom.
Aren't we all an exploding snake mom deep inside? Thank you so much for playing our game!
