Thanks mate, I accidentally linked my computer file. Very embarrassing.

this is pretty neat. I haven't played the whole thing yet, is there a difference twixt the red and yellow nodes?

Oh man, the timing gets crazy hard on the longer levels - but it feels great to beat 'em. Nice job!

Really nice although i'm too brain dead after my own entry to beat the puzzles properly :P the audio was fantastic, and i like that you took something really familiar and made it into something new so successfully.

This is a very original idea, and I really like it. It fits in well with the theme, too. The puzzles are interesting to solve and difficult to play out, although my one major complaint is that they're often made far more difficult than they should be by the game's reliance on being able to act quickly after looping to the other side of the screen. I may just be bad at it, but it took me forever to get past a level that required making a quick u-turn on the first square after looping across the screen, and then doing that repeatedly. Aside from that one source of possibly unnecessary difficulty, this was a very enjoyable game. The noises it makes when clearing the level out were pretty great, too.

I really appreciate this game for it's calming sounds. It is an excellent take on a classic and the puzzles are quite clever. Kind of reminds me of iNudge. Excellent work here.

This is awesome! The levels are a combination of figuring out the solution and perfectly execute inputs. My kind of game play.

Neat idea, great sound, great execution. I don't like twitchy snake controls, though.

29. Apr 2013 路 04:08 UTC
Awesome. Nice work. Stopped on the level with the diagonal lines with all the wrap-arounds, didn't have the execution finesse to get it. Very nice touch with the audio too, of rcouse.

This would make a great mobile game!

Though "smoother" animations would be nice.. when I first started I thought the game was lagging hardcore or something.

Love the concept, great puzzle game. Nice sounds and visuals as well; well done :)

29. Apr 2013 路 06:07 UTC
good lord these puzzles got too hard for me! made even more frustrating by the quite dissonant sound made by the level-clearing wipe thing. (I think that's a really cool effect though - maybe just drop the dinging?)

otherwise a really fantastic game. Full points on innovation!

Loved the procedural audio, very polished all around. Maybe it's just me, but the controls seem to ignore quick repeat presses?
Soundboy
29. Apr 2013 路 06:39 UTC
This is totally brilliant, when I realized you were using the grid to generate the sounds as the level is cleared I was floored. Great work!

Spierek
29. Apr 2013 路 07:01 UTC
The idea is really interesting (Snake x iNudge) and the puzzles are quite challenging, but I've got a problem with the responsiveness of the controls. Too often the loss is caused by the snake not reacting quickly enough.

Very good incorporation of music, graphics, and theme, but the difficulty curve is too steep. I'd recommend to try to focus on the puzzle elements rather than the reflexes of the player on the levels.

29. Apr 2013 路 16:19 UTC
For some reason I wasn't getting any sound, but that's probably just me judging by the comments. Nice game, it was really fun to play but I had to give up once there were two teleporters and off-edge movements :/ too difficult for me.
Fun game! :)

Would be cool if some levels have snake longer, this way it would be possible different solutions.

That was nice, I really dug the blue blocks, they reminded me of my favorite part of the snake game I made. The sounds in this were excellent.
Frozen Fractal
29. Apr 2013 路 21:28 UTC
This game is brilliant! A great concept, well-designed puzzles, beautiful sound... very, very well done. My only complaint is that it's difficult to turn around and double back in a neighbouring row/column, but that's the case for many Snake variants.

Nice work! Good use of visuals and audio that work well with the theme. Failing is also fun because of the way the sounds play. It wasn't entirely clear what reset the squares on some levels, but I assume it is time.

30. Apr 2013 路 05:15 UTC
Wow! That got really hard really fast. It takes good advantage of the human brain for sure: when I cross the screen and feel like "right!" and it should be left.

The music and visuals are spot on, and the encouraging music you get when you die is a very nice touch. I felt like the game was cheering me on!

Snakes and portals and musical automata. Nice!
Smaxx
30. Apr 2013 路 07:49 UTC
Nice, but I'm not really sure why it only works in Chrome (didn't check to be honest). You should definitely try to get it to work cross-platform, given its minimalism/simplicity and "slow" Animation style.

Very neat game; some levels were difficult to puzzle out, but the simple blocks and tools made sense. Nice simple artwork and cool use of sound. Great entry - one of the best I've seen.
Gungnir
01. May 2013 路 13:33 UTC
This game is great, very cool design.

Two issues:
1. The time it takes to reset the level is too long.
2. It's too fast / difficult. I felt frustrated when I solved the puzzle in my head but could not progress due to being terrible at snake :(
I would prefer it with some kind of drawing mechanic or perhaps just a very slow snake.
Gungnir
01. May 2013 路 13:38 UTC
Oops, should have tried slow mode. The time it takes to end a level is extremely annoying then though. Still, good it's there.

Had no problems playing in Firefox...
The objective isn`t clear. I didn`t have an idea I have a finite length until the level with 3 dots and no obstacles. The idea, however, is really original, and I liked sounds a lot.

12. May 2013 路 06:43 UTC
The game doesn't crash in Firefox. Firefox just doesn't allow to play multiple audio streams of the same audio data(not sure how to explain it). Anyway, the game is entirely about combining snake with a music board synth, playing the game with firefox isn't playing the game.
ethankennerly
12. May 2013 路 19:13 UTC
Hearing the light musical notes as the scanline crossed the screen enchanted me. Where is the 6-stars button for audio? You composed audio on screen by where the blocks were. Genius! If you continue to develop this, the rules and interactions for solving the blocks started to feel arbitrary after a few levels.
