holy moly that was fun! not sure if it was the fun music or just the cute bouncing apple but I was invested. I do wish there was an easy way to rest it.
Thank you so much!
I didn’t have time for a proper menu system… but your feedback means a lot :)
The bouncing apple, I’ll admit, was fun to make
I came first for the apple because it's a very cute character!
I think you could have a more progressive difficulty, starting from easy and becoming like a real bullet hell.
Also you could also display the score (like the time we managed to stay alive)!
+ bonus score if you dodge the snakes with skill
Lots of praise for the apple - great character xd
I think your point about difficulty is totally valid, but I didn’t want the game to get too long since its a game jam. There are 3 types of snakes in the end - the 3rd appearing around the 150s mark
A timer is displayed in the top-right corner, maybe you didn’t notice? I love the idea of some sort of riskiness bonus
got it:
Weird - there isn’t any overlap with the itch page for me (I don’t think I could even solve that xd)
Glad you found it :)
The Style and animation are really cool
I love the little apple man and his jumpin animation :D
That such a cute style ahaha! It was very fun and addicting, would love to see this get expanded more in terms of challenge.
Cool Idea. Unfortunately the game lagged like real bad for me (& Its not my hardware, its really high end)
Hu - might be a browser thing? I know my game is not that well optimised, but it ran totally fine for me (on a normal laptop)
I probably should have done some linux/windows exports just-in-case
All I can suggest is trying a different browser if you want to play it without lag? I was testing with brave/firefox
Im on Edge rn
Pretty cool ! The game become very interesting when multiple snakes circle you and only left a narrow path to escape, very challenging ! I definitely see many possibilites to develop the concept more : having snake that follow you, tring to trick them to make them collide with walls, controlling multiple apples, etc.
The snakes do actually slightly follow you. If you manage to get to the 150 mark - the blue variant of snakes will spawn, which follow you a lot
Thanks for the feedback :)
