Our very first attempt to a game! Please play full screen or use the itch.io link as the embedding takes the interface off!

The idea is very cool. I wish the caterpillar moved a bit faster. Very cute game

This game was pretty alright, it was pretty hard to figure out how play the game, it would be helpful to describe how the game works and what to do, I was just randomly eating fruit and randomly eating the caterpillars. Other than that this game was made pretty well!

Pretty decent first game with just 3 days, amazing! I'm not sure how the game works, a tutorial or a short description would be helpful, good job, though!

For your first game this is pretty good!

You did a cracking job :)

I picked it up fairly quickly, observe who wants what fruit, remember it, and find them again :D

I think this is nightmare material :

I find the concept very original, and the mood and gameplay are pretty relaxing (yet the game is quite challenging).

As said a tutorial would have made a big difference because I had to lose a few games to understand what was happening.
Also, I think the difficulty curve is quite steep, because on every level, you not only grow making it harder to move, but you also have more fruits to remember. Maybe instead of adding one fruit every level, you could add one new fruit every 2-3 level ?

Anyway, it's great to have a working fun game, without any bugs (no pun intended), by the end of a game jam ! Good job !

Good job on your first game!
Maybe a tutorial could have been good. But I think it's also ok without one, because of its fairly simple concept so you can pick it up pretty quickly.

Memory and snake, that's an interesting combination. The caterpillar is rather cute.

You should mention somewhere that you're supposed to bring the caterpillars what they wont (the fruit that flashes in their place before they appear), as people are confused about what to do. You can put that in the description of the game.

A classic memory game, yet very challenging for me - good job!

Ok, maybe sometimes I don't get it, but played for a while several times and enjoyed this little game, thank you! Keep jamming!

Nice job, I really liked the concept but it did get really difficult after only a few levels. The movement was a bit slow for my taste though.
