  • Very basic. Not a whole lot going on. Could potentially become something really interesting if worked on further. At the moment, it's very bare-bones, it's not very fun, and in fact very difficult. Once the fruit is grabbed, the difficulty ramps up to 100, and having to refresh the entire page to play again after losing is pretty annoying. I hope you continue to work and expand on this to make it as good as it can be! Thanks for the submission!

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
YES

Tell us about your game!
The classic game “Snake”, except it’s a 2D platformer. The addition of verticality enriches the
classic arcade game.

Control with WASD/arrows. Press UP, or SPACE to jump.

Reset the game with ESC

You CANNOT stop moving. Running into anything while on the ground causes a GAME OVER.
Bumping into walls while jumping is okay.

You are the moving green rectangle.

Try to pick up the red circles (fruit).

You CAN jump on the tail.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
YES

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
YES

I could not see a restart game in the web version? Was hard to play.....

I had similar issues - esc is the only way to reset, and you have to play the game in full screen mode, which is then closed by esc. Might suggest a key binding change. :)

I really want to enjoy playing this, but it is way too hard. Way too many ways to die, it should be the only way to die is to be caught by the snake. There needs to be more ways to dodge the thing because if you get cornered there's literally nothing you can do.
