That's genius it fits the theme so well and this is a great take on the old classic. \n\nThe only thing I'd ask for is to be able to change the speeds of the snake. One of my favorite parts of playing snake clones online, was being able to play at triple speeds, to make the game more difficult and fun for myself. \n\nOverall, I really realllly like this game. 1) because I'm a sucker for snake games 2) because It's a done in a way which really gives life back to the classic.\n\nCheck out my entry here if you can: \nhttps:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/toy-hero\nPlay as a heroic robot hiding all the other toys away from mum's constant cleaning.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"RonanRorry","author_uid":"1060826","time":"2017-12-04T04:44:53Z","epoch":1512362693,"modified":1512362693,"text":"Like the person above said, the idea of using the Snake format for this jam is very clever, and the snake itself looks good from an artistic point of view. \n\nThe only issue with this game is that the controls are slightly janky. There have been several occasions where I press a button and the snake doesn't move in the direction I want it to.\n\nOverall, considering how much you had to strip down, I'd say that this is pretty good.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Adam Coles","author_uid":1062882,"time":"2017-12-04T17:12:21Z","epoch":1512407541,"modified":1512407541,"text":"Probably one of the best iteration of snake i've played","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Matthias Schedel","author_uid":"1050479","time":"2017-12-04T17:13:26Z","epoch":1512407606,"modified":1512407606,"text":"Great Idea - but the controls are a little bit slow - it doesnt feel very fluid but besides that I think its great ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Swordfsh","author_uid":"1066221","time":"2017-12-04T17:14:34Z","epoch":1512407674,"modified":1512407674,"text":"I enjoyed it, and it ran very smooth on my phone.
