Hi! This is Shiv, the guest judge for the jam.
I'll admit, I haven't nearly beaten this one yet haha but I don't need to in order to see how cool this project is. A riff on snake is a natural thing to make for this jam, but you've somehow managed to both riff on snake (the game), snake (the animal) and make something entirely unique all at once. This is an incredibly cool game, one I could see being blown up to a huge game on the level of your Stephens Sausage Roll and whatnot, zooming out at the very end to show you a snake the size of a 20 hour world map. It's clever, it's super friendly and approachable, and the presentation is super relaxing and crisp, just right for some brain teasing. Awesome work.
Very cool and unique game. The core mechanic is refreshing.
I just bought this but I can't seem to play it on arm mac? is that correct or is there an error somewhere on my part?
Hey, sorry for this! This is a common issue when exporting to Mac from Windows, Apple doesnât trust the software. I would recommend playing through the Itch app which should resolve this for you. Alternatively, you can find a guide here to open the game anyway. Thereâs also the options of playing from browser or through wine. Apologies that this doesnât work out of the box!
if I try to launch through itch it crashes the app unfortunately
Ah nuts, I have no way of testing on mac, so if the other options donât work either, probably best to play on web at the top of this page
Itch is reporting there was an issue with the itch app yesterday, this might be working today⊠maybe?
That's only part of the issue. The executable inside the .app bundle has the wrong permissions set (the execute bit is missing). Users will have to run
chmod +x "Snekcross MAC v1.2.app/Contents/MacOS/Snekcross"
(from the directory where the app is installed) before following the instructions in Godot's guide.
Loved it! Well done!
What a clever mechanic really well done :D
This is so well done! The progression is really satisfying, you always encounter new situations with mechanics to learn. Ingenious from begin to end. I didn't suspect a knowledge-based puzzle could be so fun in a such short time.
ye
Great game! Loved the puzzles! :)
I'm stuck on the second hammer ._.
nevermind i found out you can go under yourself
snek? crossed.
nice little game. got the first part in 22:22.2 which was pretty funny, could not have planned that. i was also afraid of blocking myself out of future solutions at first, but once i realized how much i could really bridge things got different. it seemed like there was always a long way out
I did all the apples, but now I got stuck lol (I will probably try to figure out how to get all the bananas and apples without getting stuck eventually at a later date, but for this is good enough).
Edit: I forgot to mention that I found the game very fun and creative. The level design I found very intuitive and eventhough there was only one music track, I really liked the music and didnât get bored or annoyed by it. Very polished game and a joy to play.
The game is really fun to play, easy to understand, but hard to know the next step.
very cool mechanics and brilliant execution. I like how you get to use the new tricks you learn as you backtrack on yourself and discovering the how to use the overhang mechanic. It would be nice if you could hold Z to do multiple undos.
Reset isn't working, for some reason. (FF / Win 10)
for me it didnt work first aswell. reason was because of the diffrent keyboard layout of my country where z is switched with y. pressing y fixed it in this case
wow I love this
Very cool, but the fact that your first moves can block you at the very end is scary. It almost happened to me, and it discouraged me to do the fruits challenge after winning while I was interested for it...
okay, crazy good idea with awesome game design behind it. I am stuck at like the last hammer and damn is this game so good, especially love the vibe.
Really clever mecahines.
Every step have a cosqunce.
Hope to see a fully made game out of it. (Or maybe I could make a fan demo of it. đ€·ââïž)
So this is the full game, with the postgame apples Iâve explored everything I wanted to. Youâre welcome to make your own game inspired by it if youâd like
Game so good I fell to my knees in the woolies carpark, how do you cook so hard Every Time!
That is very clever.
I ended up getting 5/8. Great job! Its really well stylized, and shows off the depth of the mechanic quite well.
Was fun.
Man it's really easy to not find the 'simple' solution and just start moving around everywhere and going the wrong way lol. That's a funny game mechanic, it's really mysterious somehow, you feel like you can make a bridge and sometimes not. Sometimes filling up the screen is helpful sometimes harmful.
So idk if the puzzle difficulty is very linear, because by the time i got to the "use the snake in a spiral shape" i already tried this technique a lot before (and failed) lol.
I would make the beginning less frustrating. Understanding your snake can jump across itself took me a surprisingly long time lol. Then understanding you can wrap through the white tiles too, that really was frustrating for me. Maybe i would put some hint for the first problem and idk force the game to teach you the second mechanic earlier. But i guess the game works fine this way.
i got the bananas!!!
