Cool game but right click for shedding was not working for me ;(

Developer

Im sorry it didnt work, after the jam ended i found out that for a reason unknown to me sometimes things dont load depending on the browser you use which is really weird. Thanks for giving it a try though

Submitted

Its a cool game. I like especially the shedding mechanic

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

A constrictor game is a great idea! Nice job

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Very fun game,  although the map is quite large. I found more luck staying around the egg the entire time.

Developer(+1)

I made the map infinite but if you go too far it will spawn 4 enemies near the egg and bascially force you to lose unless you rush back to the egg lol. thanks for playing!

Gotta love the snake sub-theme this year. 


Maybe I'm getting old but the difficulty was really something, I liked it a lot but always felt a bit to slow, maybe that's just me

Developer(+1)

I tried to tune the gameplay so that it would max out fairly quickly as most people wont play the game for that long as its a game jam game thanks for the feedback though!

Submitted

Yeah I messed up on that front most people don't play the 10 levels in my submission and it's a shame since I tried to end on a high note

Those enemies are so aggressive towards my baby. Good thing I can crush the shit out of them :D

Your game feels so satisfying the snake animation and movement is spot on. Making loopy loops to get them crushed is very fitting with the jam theme. Congratz on a great submission. 

Developer

Haha, thanks for playing!

Developer

Thank you!

Such a nice idea! I love to see what people come up with on GMTK :DD 

The game mechanics were easy to understand and the snake is super cute! But... WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CARS THAT WANT TO DESTROY MY EGG?! That was insane at some point!! :'D

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, i tried to lean into the hecticness!

Very cool! Nice work on the visuals of the snake.

The right click to shed skin mechanic did not work on my pc..

Developer

Thank you , im sorry the shedding skin didnt work , i havent had that problem at all

Submitted(+1)

sick game, i like the snake mechanic and the art is very charming

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I'd say that was almost **too** satisfying to constrict enemies, but that's hardly a problem sans SFX volume, a bit of polish wrt the perspective inconsistencies and a few other things and you've got a very good looking game. That snake is going to be a pool noodle megachonker.

Developer

haha thanks sorry about the sound effects volume

Awesome game! I really enjoy the constricting mechanic, its really satisfying and fun, also the music is great, well done on making this game

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Great game! loved the main mechanic :)

What are those enemies supposed to be tho???

Developer(+1)

Thank you, they are supposed to be people with headphones haha

Oooohh that makes sense.
I thought they were evil Roombas hahahah
