The graphics were not the best, but overall a fun little take on the classic snake gameplay
Thanks for the game! :D
Otherwise a solid snake remake.
But holy cow this thing is sinister to the core. I don't know why but I just could not get over the alien control gap, my brain insisted on misfiring constantly and sending me into a wall or something. 10 minutes in I was like, why am I not learning this? The QM is such a simple idea but holy crap my brain would not accept it even when I was really concentrating.
The ludicrous, useless double vision background thing was crazy, the sneaky mines that look like the background color were nasty, and that 10 minutes left level was completely nuts.
Good job making something so innocent get so weird with just a few small twists.
The level select was a very nice feature to have in this game, and good on you for not locking them until I beat previous ones or something.
Top score was 44 on SNAKE.
If I could make one change to it, I would quicken up the retry loop.
Controls are quite difficult to get properly and it gets a bit confusing, but that's part of the challenge in the game! :P
The 2d/3d overlay feels strange, though. A side-by-side or a 3d + mini-map could be a good thing to do. :P
The variety of levels and extra touches e.g. scoreboard make this a solid entry. :)
