Simple Difficulties by Wet Heads

[raw]
made by Wet Heads for LD26 (JAM)
Notes? NOTES?!
We have been coding almost 40 hours during last 72.
We tired.
We'll write some constructive notes later.

Yeah.. one more thing.
left arrow/a - turn left
right arrow/d - turn right
p/Pause - pause (o, rly?)
t - turn on/off drawing your trace (why not?)
mouse wheel - scaling (yep, negative scale is pretty cool)
q - to skip level (well, if you cannot go throught it.. Noone will judge you, right?)
LMB - to shoot...

And you are snake. Snake that gonna be simple. Eat apples, fight enemies and... Enjoy gaming!


UPD
Known bugs:
- The second "Level complete!" notice, which should turn on "the simpliest" mode, makes the game freeze. Sometimes.

Enjoyed this very much! Very cute, smooth controls too. :) Music was quite a shock though!

Fun little game, music would be better if the volume were a bit lower. I did like spamming rockets at the hordes of bad guys, so many bad guys sometimes.

Mmm ? I was stuck trying every key on my keyboard to shoot with my brand new missile launcher and then some incredibles things started to happen. I had fun with thesquare version and the debug red line but seriously you should remove dev key before submit, now I'm not really sure about your intentions for the gameplay. Is the differents versions of the game are differents levels ?

Sorry, we hadn't pro musician..

>Great Job!
Thank you!

Well, if you would read the notes, you would saw that LMB is the shooting button.

>...and the debug red line but seriously you should remove dev key before submit
Well, I thought it's fun to see the whole your way at the level.

>Is the differents versions of the game are differents levels?
The idea was in simplification, minimalisation of the "snake" game. From level to level.. From super-modern to the classic.

Thank you all for your feedback! It's important for us.

This game is really hard. :P Even though I tried to use the rocket launcher all the time, I still got more and more bad guys. And the worst thing: They are all coming at you and you by accident pick up a snowflake gun. It would be nice to be able to select a weapon once you picked it up. :D
Really great game. I liked it a lot.

Why use left mouse button for shoot and not use WASD for controls? No consequence for being hit my enemies makes this pretty meh. All you can do is slide around mowing down WAY too many awkward moving enemies that ignore any collisions with walls.

Well, who's said that rocket launcher is the best choise?)

>Hey it was fun!
Cool, we've hoped for it!)

>Why use left mouse button for shoot and not use WASD for controls?
WASD and arrows both works actually. If you give us more information, we can try to find the problem.

never had as much fun with a snake variation since primary school. loved the weapons, rockets practicly ask for the flight of the valkyries. great job)

Brilliant! Very fun, enjoyable and creative soundtrack. The graphics could maybe have been improved, but it didn't detract from the experience.

Pretty fun, but the levels lasted longer than they needed to. I'd have found it more exciting if there was some danger too, I spent the first couple minutes desperately avoiding the walls assuming they'd kill me.

Music was very nice, although I couldn't seem to progress past the first level. I did really enjoy the concept of snake with weapons though, grats!

It was fun to mess around with, but there was no real goal, no way to win or lose... Also, I found it really hard to control the snake and aim at the same time... Maybe it was just me? Great effort guys!
