The music is sick, makes the game soo much more intense aha. Great job.

Developer

Thanks

I loved the Fur Elise remix song! But as stated by others, a smaller map would make it a lot better!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, we will implement this idea in later development.

 Wait for our game Elder's Will, which we will release in late 2021.

Simple and fun, and love the sounds! maybe if the map was a bit smaller could be a bit more difficult, but overall, nice game!

I loved the eating sound effects!

Would have been much more fun (in my opinion, anyway :P) if the game's map had been much smaller, or the snake had been faster. Took a bit too long to get anywhere, which hurt the game's momentum

Your opinion is much appreciated ❤.

I enjoyed your game. I tried to eat myself once (out of curiosity), accidently ate myself twice, and was a total coward! Haha. It was really tempting to eat all that fruit! Nice job with the theme.

Thanks for playing. 😍

That was fun to play, I liked the way you interpreted the theme. Maybe have the worm move a little faster, in the beginning, to get the player hooked right away!

Developer

That's so true my friend, thank you.

I really like the idea of a snake like game but with inverted objectives. good job.


i also made a game for this jam. i would be happy if you would play it and rate it :)

Of course, we would love to play your game.

This game was really nice. The main thing I could probably take out of this is to increase the pacing of the game/difficulty in some way. My worm was moving pretty slow and there was so much food spawning I kind of wanted to get it all XD. Overall though, nice game!

Developer

Thanks for your opinion.

Submitted(+1)

Good game. The only bug i had is that if you move in one direction and you want to move in the opposite direction the worm makes a 180° turn and you die. But overall a nice game.👍

Developer

Actually this bug is intentional for making the game a bit harder 😂.

^^ Noice I almost had it (2 salt left and then I ate my own body... two times) I like the music ;-) and the art :D keep on the good work

Developer

Thank you very much ❤.

nice game

Developer

Thanks

I liked the movement and the art, really simple and well done (there's sometimes where the perspective didn't quite fit tho). I think the camera movement could improve: make it more zoom in into the player and maybe less responsive to its movement, to make it less shaky. Overall really good, keep it going!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for playing, and the camera needs significant improvement, that's true but we couldn't finished the game at the submission time so we skipped it.

Submitted(+1)

Really cool interpretation of the topic. The music doesn't exactly fit the game but it's fun to listen too :) The art is clean and readable. But is get's harder to find the salt as you continue (at least for me) Great Job Overall!

Submitted(+1)

Its an interesting concept, but I think you go against the intrinsic design of Snake. In Snake the difficulty increases as you gain more pieces, so it actually becomes harder, whereas in this, difficulty decreases as you gain salt, as you decrease in length.

More fruit spawns, sure that makes it harder, but it would be interesting to make the snake faster or something as you lost more and more health.

Developer(+1)

Nice ideas surely.

Submitted(+1)

neat idea, suicidal worm ;)

Great job!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game, it kind of reminded me of a game mode in google snake where you have to avoid the walls in the middle of the board. Except in this case you have to avoid the fruit.

Interseting take on a classic game :D To be honest the music doesnt fit the game :/ Other than that i enjoyed it nice work :)

Submitted(+1)

Nice twist on the "snake games". The second level feels the right difficulty for me. And awesome music :)

Submitted(+1)

control are pretty slow, hard to turn constanly like an epic gamer, nice try

Developer

That's right, thank you.
