>>>>>> PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION <<<<<<

You dont EAT THE ORBS
you ABSORB THEM

Catch them IN A LOOP for a moment until they POP
I lowered their energy almost to zero but you still have to catch them or at least touch them couple times to pop them

##############################################

Hi

My game is a snake-like game where you have to catch orbs to get bigger and then fight the boss.

orbs run fast so the strategy is to catch them in a Loop.

Avoid red mines. They will cut you.

When you are long enough (~60 segments) you can fight the boss. You have to destroy red canons that spits red mines. There are 5 of them. To destroy it you have to short two electric beams on both sides of the canon with your body to shock the canon until it explodes.

*

CONTROLS:

[LEFT Arrow] / [RIGHT Arrow] - movement left /right
[LEFT Arrow] + [RIGHT Arrow] - BOOST

[F] - full screen toggle
[R] - restart

*

POST COMPO:

- added some sounds and music
- added camera bloom (just for the nicer effect)
- added number of current segments (length of the snake)

Update #2

- lowered the difficulty. Many comments about how hard it is to catch an orb so I lowered their speed so they dont run away as fast. Hope it's easier now.

*

Work time ~20h.

Enjoy. Hope you like it ;)

Cheers

Good but could not eat the orbs, red or blue!

Cool looking, good feel, interesting mood, just... I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here

This game is fun, but it's a bit hard to get used to catching the orbs. Music and graphics are great!

So hard to snare those little orbs... Was really fun.

Really nice looking game, I found encircling the orbs to be frustratingly difficult, unless I did it just right they would bounce right off my body.

I didn't get how you catch the orbs, they keep bouncing off. But the game visuals and feels are superb, great job!

lol this looks awesome! But I was only able to get one more fragment as the controls were to hard for me.
I also like the way the cut of part still moves! Nice!

Pretty graphics, inmersive sound but was playing for 10 minutes and couldn't grab a single ore, maybe I suck but :/

That is an amazing looking dragon serpent, great job!

The movement looks wonderful, and I love the way it grows. Great mood. Found the red orbs a bit too punishing! I LOVE that your broken tails continue to swim around. Nice.

Beautiful! The way the worm moves is amazing!
That's very sad the "eat" feature don't work :(

There are timing (game speed seems to depend on graphics detail) and generation (I only get a playable level 1/5 time) issues on my system.

Still when it works correctly, I like it, it fits both themes and feels consistent.

there were a lot of good things about this game - not just graphics - simple gameplay (i picked up how to get the orbs right aways by encircling them) and it was fun - great job

Very moody. Beautiful visuals and original eati- I mean, absorption mechanic.

I managed to get some null refs though;)
TaoPhoenix10 Feb 2016, 14:08
I wish there was a way to know where the boss was. I kept fading into the distance!

But at least I got my serpent the right length in the post compo versions, but still had trouble finding the boss so I couldn't even try to figure that out!

... For 20 hours work! (Plus Post Compo)
