Huh, I respect you all so much after this hard 72 hours...
So, the idea behind this game: Not so long ago I read the book "Little prince" written by Antoine’a de Saint-Exupéry. In this book is a sentance, that when snake ate an elephant, it looks like a hat.
So I was wondering, why so badass animal is represented in games as a vegetarian. I thought that it would be cool if a snake really ate an elephant.
So I added this concept to an old fashion snake game. When the player eats an animal, the belly of the snake grows to a size of what it ate. This makes the game more difficult and less predictible!
All assets and code are made by me. I wanted to join Compo instead of Ham, but some bugs where so annoying that I decided to go with Jam. Sweet happens.
Great entry for your first LD, also, welcome! Did you do the Music within the timeframe as well? I dig the VO a lot. I like the idea of the snake being larger when it ate something, though I dont know how directly it affected my playstyle.
Very funny game! I loved the animations, good work! I wish there was some sounds as well, also make sure to opt out the Audio from your ratings if you are not planning to put some.
This is an awesome spin to the old classic. And the game itself feels great! Good visuals, awesome music and sounds. Sure, sometimes the snake looks a little weird while it eats animals. But this is awesome. Great job!
ELEPHAAANT! I love the humour in this game! I liked the really simple art assets - they were consistent at least. The gameplay was fun, although there were a couple of times where nothing seemed to spawn after a while (or do I mean after a whale? :p ) It's very well made - especially for your first Ludum Dare - great job on the music too! A great entry.
Just minor bugs - spawning elephant near tho border and some other minor issues, but it was cool. Thank you so much!
