This game is amazing, the concept is so clever which makes me say: “Wow, I wish I had thought of that.”
I was initially hooked by the cover art (very cute btw) but I definetely stay for the gameplay (I win).
I see you know which are the problems of the game right know (remaining stucked, audio bugs etc.) so I won't repeat them
What I have to say is that making the level design of this game seems so hard, you have to think to a lot of possibities like giving the player room for repositioning or make early stages easier if you are longer. So well done!
Hope this will become a real game in future
If you try mine let know what you think!
Im glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing it! Level design was definately a difficult part of the game to make, so I appreciate the positive feedback for it :)
Full stars! This is an amazing entry, I wish you two good luck and hope to see more of this game. Add some more levels and a few dangers and this could become a full game. It's definitely got the charm and fun already!
Thank you so much, we will consider making it a full game but there are some complications to that like , would i be a getting over it style game with one big level or a timed thing but once the jam ends im gonna add a speedrun timer. Thank you so much!
In my opinion it should have different worlds. The level as it is is great, I wouldn't make it super long but that's my personal feeling. You do what you feel is the best direction. It's your game! :)
Thank you !
the game is great, but it doesn't have a good ending. I reached the end, but there was nothing
Sorry to trigger the end cutscene you have to walk on the block directly over the ledge , it was a game design oversight mb
This game was really exciting ^^.
LOL I think I am stuck here 😂😂
sorry about the soft locks , you can press esc and then reset position to fix it
No problem :) The overall game is really good. Keep going
Thanks for playing! Sorry about the softlocks, I hope you still enjoyed the game :)
I saw your post before I played and it still happened to me at the same spot 🤣
LOL😂😂
If I had to pick a favourite of the games I've played so far in this jam it must be this one. I love the gameplay and I think the level was cleverly designed. It was very fun when you realized you had made a mistake and whatever you did next would lead to a fall. The game in whole felt very well put together and the beautiful art and audio went nicely together with the cozy gameplay.
I also got softlocked, but in a way where I was still stuck after resetting. It was when the body covered the tile above and the tile to the left of the head. It could probably easily be solved by having the reset area be a little flatter.
And an idea I had when playing was platforms that break after a set amount of turns. It would probably play quite different from the timed ones, but maybe it could be fun!
I also got the three hidden cookies at the left side of the level. Not sure if the extra length they gave made another secret accesible, but it was fun nontheless to play through the level with 3 extra body parts!
Thanks for all the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed our game! Sorry about the soft lock bug, we didn't quite manage to fix that, although your idea of making it flatter would have definitely worked. A move based breakable block would have been interesting! Nice idea. And you found the debug cookies! They were for testing so we could quickly complete the game😂 :)
Very cute and very well implemented mechanics. I also softlocked myself but since I figured out you can just press R it was fine. But would probably be helpful if the game detected if you can't move any more and displayed the reset button on the screen, or something like that.
Thanks for trying the game! I'm glad you like the art and gameplay. Also thanks for the tip, displaying the reset button when you were softlocked would have definately helped players, and Ill take a note for that to maybe add it after the game jam :)
Really good but i did manage to softlock myself.
Thanks for playing commenting! Yeah, sorry about that, I hope it didn't effect your experience too much :)
This is the champion of this round—full 5 stars across the board. And 5 stars is just the rating limit, not the limit of this game itself
Thank you so much for playing our game, We really appreciate it :) I'm very glad you really liked our game!
Open world Snake! Really cool concept and execution, love the art style, sound design and level design. Really great job!
Thank you, we appreciate you trying the game!
Wow! Really love the art and the unique physics/gameplay.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
The movement system is so unique and intuitive. The level design is great and does a good job of introducing new mechanics. Had a lot of fun playing and figuring it out. Nice game.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Super cute game!
I'm glad you liked it!
So intuitive!
love it!
Thank you!
Oh no! I got stuck and lost all my progress... haha, had fun anyway. A mash between Jump King and Snakebird is not something I expected, very clever. Nice work!
The movement was inspired from snakebird! Im glad you noticed, we wanted to try and see what snakebird would be like as a platformer. Im glad you enjoyed!
Really cute and amazing looking pixel art, the puzzles were creative, but I wish there was like an undo button for some dumb mistakes as at some moments I felt like “professional retard” from SpongeBob, and had to reset the whole thing, but overall a fun game :D
Thanks for trying it! Thanks for the feedback :)
Fun puzzle game
Thanks :)
Amazing game! I love the puzzle aspect of it. And as someone who loves foddian games like Getting Over It, I have to say making the beginning part a little easier as a natural part of progressing in the game is ingenious game and level design. My only complaint would be that getting stuck forces you to reset all the way to the beginning. Maybe it could reset in position? That's the only reason I didn't finish, I had gotten past the crumbling ground part and got stuck. I'll come back and finish if you finish my game though :)
Anyway, great game, absolutely love it!
Thanks for all the feedback! This game was very inspired by getting over it, so I'm glad to hear you noticed:) thanks for playing it!
Super good game. It is like a puzzle ragegame. Art is top tier 10/10
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the art!
damn this game is great! i once had a google ad for a similar game conept but you’ve just improved the level design and art so much, really cool! 2 times i had a issue where i was stuck so i had to reset i was kinda frustrated to land at the complete bottom and even got stuck completely once:
Thank you for playing our game. I appreciate the feedback, getting stuck can really be annoying! I hope you enjoyed it :)
I'd rather play snakes with stakes than eat crumbs with bums
