Good and difficult snake adaptation. In my opinion something like srint button for 3 seconds or other bonus would diversify the gameplay.
At first I thought I spawned next to a wall… so I ran out into the void like 3 times before realizing the “wall” was just the start of the city. After a few attempts, I was able to get up to 68, but never beat it. Some of the people run as fast as the snake and if you chase one for too long, you die before you can find another human.
The visuals are cool, this perspective works better than I would have expected at 64x64. The little people are adorable. I also like that the lumps travel down your body after eating them.
Cool game! Very difficult, but that's not a bad thing.
I like the way different people react to you differently, so you have to be strategic with who you chase after so you don't starve. The music and sfx fit perfectly too!
I think the only problem I had was how quickly people can swim away. It feels like you can't really do anything about it if a person happens to have a fast move speed and swims away.
This was a very interesting version of Snake! I loved that you had to make quick decisions about which direction to go in that might come back to bite you later. My only gripe is with what I referred to as the "hunger mechanic," where you die if you don't eat after awhile. I think it's a great addition and adds extra tension to the game, but it's not communicated anywhere that this mechanic exists. So after I died a few times seemingly out of nowhere, I was very confused and put off. But once I caught on to the mechanic, it became fun to work around. If this mechanic was communicated in some way, I think it'd mitigate the problem entirely. All in all, a really nice and fun game. Played through it a few times. Well done!
Wasn’t able to play this given that it’s a windows only download.
Really fun take on snake, which works really well with the low resolution - the combination of the snake's speed and the limited visibility forces some very quick decisions which add to the fun and chaos.
The blood splatters and car explosions are a nice touch, adding a lot to the juicy feel.
The music has a great arcade feel to it, and fits perfectly :)
