This is a very fun game! The way that you kill enemies is very cool, I think that this was a fantastic idea. Only I think that it would be more fun if the snake wasn't so bouncy and instead was accelerating gradually towards the mouse. It could be a very small acceleration so it won't change the feeling of controlling the snake too much, but I think it would have made for a better game overall. Still, a great game!

Developer

Thank you for the feed back. In an early version of the game you could control the snake much more directly, but I found it made the game far to easy and boring.

Nice weapon. Ssss. Is it just me, or is the snake aim guided? Also, I found out, that you can win just by standing on one spot and position cursor on yourself and snake will take care of the enemies. It's a very slow way to victory but only lost one life. But it's definitely better to run around hunting pigs.

Thanks for the feedback, alot of development time was spent figuring out how to avoid that line of play. Having the snake bounce around and moving to collect coins is supposed to make it more difficult to do that. 

Spoiler warning:

The pigs are totally meant to be a trap. If you can get them you'll win faster, but it is mostly to lure the snake away.

Cool.

I LOVE IT! I made it through the end and i want to play again! And the music really fits the pace of the game!

Submitted(+1)

I really like the music, I've not been able to reach 1000 but hopefully i will. Nice game.

Liked the game a lot, but then again, any game with that name deserves to be played. Thought it was cool not actually having a way to fight directly. Only feedback I have is that diagonal movement doesn’t seem to be normalized so I can move much faster than zombie bois diagonally but not if I’m moving straight.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback I'm still relatively new to gamemaking so I couldn't work out how to fix that during the jam. My current solution is to just have the zombies move about as fast as a diagonal player.

Submitted(+1)

Yeah and unfortunately I’m not familiar enough with GameMaker to tell you how to fix it :D but I don’t think it was extreme enough for me to really notice if it wasn’t for the zombies so it’s all good.

Nice. Pigs were good addition.

Thank you for your feedback!

Maybe the winning score of 1000 is a bit too high for the amount of content, but other than that I really liked it. The snake mechanic makes fun and feels great!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. Just out of wonder, did you get any pigs to boost your score?

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, I got some of that.

Hey, pretty good! I managed to win!

Developer

Thank you!
