It's about making cool stuff!
And this is pretty cool :D

You have cought the look and difficulty of the earlier game era quite nicely! Way to go!

tiffi26 Aug 2013, 10:13

great grafics!

I like the controls with two keys (instead of a four-arrows for the four directions control).

Endurion26 Aug 2013, 10:19

Very nice!

I really like the look! Annoying was that pressing D repeatedly would through me out of the game and into the options.

It's missing squeaky sounds ;)

This is cute. The colours you've chosen work very well together. Definitely feels 'old school. Well done :)

Got an error saying "No suitable graphics card found" :/

Lovely oldschool cga graphics. Liked it, even though I spawned inside a wall sometimes. Good job!

@Zuige, oh, silly me, I have uploaded a fix now, could you try it to see if its fixed?

The game looks nice and the idea is cool, but I have a lot of trouble to control the snake with those 2 keys (I'm not good with rotations tho :D). Also the 3rd level should give you a little more time to react. But cool job :)

I liked the snake animation. It was a bit to hard to catch the food pieces. No Sounds :(

Pro: I like that the goals are different in each level.
Con: No checkpoints?! Also waiting 10 entire seconds on the tutorial levels gets old the second or third time.

Nop it is not about winning and prizes cause... there are no prizes :P Now about your game.. I really like it. I find it bit hard to master controls, but the concept is catchy.

This game is very stylish in every aspect.

Tainted_Code28 Aug 2013, 12:52

Well done! Very well executed and I loved the graphics!

Diptoman28 Aug 2013, 13:25

Waiting ten useless seconds for the tutorial level to end was a drag. The control scheme was a bit fiddly, but ok anyways. Great retro feels, though.

cirpisauthor28 Aug 2013, 13:28

Well level design was kinda half-done because I needed to sleep, and I completely agree with those of you saying that the tutorial level is pretty boring in comparison with the rest of the game, I might change it later.

Nice idea, waiting 10 seconds for each level is very slow would be fun with some other winning condition.
