Pros:
- Cool idea
- Good use of theme for main gameplay mechanic
- Good breadth of Hanks
Cons:
- Finnicky bits cause lopsided difficulty curve
- Tail counts as body for damage
- Could use more variety or progression
Misc:
It took me quite a few tries but I managed a 60 second run, where the obstacles seemed to begin repeating. I like this idea as a whole, but the play area is a bit tight and the snake sometimes has a mind of its own. It's possible to fly off in a non-cardinal direction if you hit the keys within a certain window, and being able to accidentally hit the direction that turns 180 feels harsh. The use of various Hanks films as material for obstacles and audio is great, but even though it's very difficult to reach 60 seconds or so it still feels like there could have been more Hanks pulled in. I think if the boot was less proportionally realistic it would alleviate some of the challenge that kicks off as early as it does. This was cool. Boot Snake is good.
