Crazy Snake by mgsx

[raw]
made by mgsx for LD 40 (COMPO)

Help Crazy Snake to cross the forest through 5 levels. 

Crazy Snake is greedy and will eat all mushrooms crossing his road : the more he eats, the more he becomes uncontrollable.

Tools used are listed in the source README

Post Jam Hot fixes (December 9th) : * issues about collisions are now fixed : * snake head is now properly clipped to background edges (no more snapping). * fixed bouncing on spikes. (no more instant killing at some locations) * snakes sprites are clipped to background edges preventing graphics masking sometimes. * fixed last spikes collisions blocking exit in last level. * fixed snake speed jittering caused by frame rate dropping. * fixed sound FX lag at first spawn.

Here is some screenshots :

Amusing art style :joy:. Not sure whether it was intentional but bumping into the spikies level 2 instakilled me :upside_down:

Yeah I was also instakilled once I hit the spikes. Not sure if that was intended! Fun game though.

I like your art. When you eat a mushroom, the head animation is very well done. I thought at the beginning that the speed was too slow, but then I get it :) The game is easy at first, but get tricky if you want to collect all of the mushrooms. Like the previous comment, spike collision kill me instantly. But overall, game is good, great work !

Instakill may happens if you get stuck between spikes and wall (or you you have no life left of course) but i tested it again and it works well except when the space between wall and spikes is too small : i think it's a bug.. sorry about that.

I really like the art, I think that the biting animation could have had more oomf if you could actually feel like snake chomp at the food instead of just sucking it in towards you.
Any time I hit a spike I would get stuck on it until I die, and then have to start the whole game over.

I like the music, its simple and isnt irritating.

There's a bug with collision. If you moving in to the wall, it will snap you "into" it, but if you move along the wall in one "cell" away, you can't move closer to wall.

Also spike bounce on the last level killed me almost instantly by punching me one through another.

I liked the art, but could not bypass the frustration of collision.

I'm really sorry for the remaining bugs about collision (border snap and spikes stuck problem).
I'm busy right now but I hope having time to fix it ...
Thanks for playing!

The collision bug got me past a whole section lol! Anyway, died literally at the last turn on the last level. Nice game, I liked the animations to give the game a lively feel and the music set a great mood.

Nice game. The collisions aren't the best but it's fun to play it. Good job!

Interesting idea. I died on the 4th level because I was way too greedy and turned into hyperspeed snake. The mechanics were pretty well explained by instructions and the UI. The eat animation is sweet too.

Sorry for the delay, i fixed several bugs you mentioned, especially the "instakill" problem. See updated description for more details.

I hope you won't be upset/frustrated anymore :-)

Very addicting and the last level was challenging and fun. The artwork and sounds are well done and fit the mood very well. One of the best games I've seen so far this LD.

Snake! The classic game for this theme, but a nice original take.

The presentation is very high quality overall. I did have to turn the music off though as the loop was a little too repetitive, but I'm really nitpicking.

Bonus points for good level design. Each level neatly introduced a new concept and the last level gives you a chance to put all your knowledge together - very nice!

A super well made snake puzzle game, with some new and interesting game mechanics. The graphics is fun and the music is simple, but still pretty great. Overall a fun game to play. Well done.

I really wish it was grid aligned. I often grazed obstacles. Super speed made me unable to turn before charging it spike balls repeatedly. I guess that is the point, greed being bad and all. Overall it was pretty good and I had fun. Art was solid. Although I do wish the head was grid aligned, I very much enjoyed the way the body wrapped around.
