Neat game. Didn't really know what to do at first. Plus you have a couple screens (Options and stats) that don't have anything there?

Hey, another member of team made-a-game-with-my-kids. High five!

This was great. The first level was easy enough to forgive me taking a couple of minutes to figure out the mechanics and goals, which I appreciate. Mechanics reminded me of the old blockade/snake games, with an original twist. After a couple of levels, I found myself increasingly irritated with the robot frost eagle's tendency to aim for all the obstacles. CAN YOU JUST STOP KILLING YOURSELF FOR 3 SECONDS WHILE I GO COLLECT A GEM?

Thanks for the game :)

this is a game that can get quite frantic, i loved the music and the idea, i felt quite an urge to protect protect the eagle after i figured out my duty was to break the rocks and things in the path. i like that you made it with your kids :3 they did a good job and so did you.

That was pretty fun. Would be nice if you somehow got a hint on where the eagle was headed and what he might end up hitting, it was hard to keep up!

I was so busy making the worm grow I forgot I also had to protect the eagle as well :'). Anyway I like the concept a lot and I love how you had your kid do the sprites as well.

First I though ugh.. too easy, I don't even die if I run into walls. But then I noticed it's an escort mission :)

Also a nice idea to include the kids in making games!

I like the game. It wasn't clearly evident from the first play through as to what I was supposed to be doing, but I enjoyed doing whatever it was that I was doing, if that makes any sense!

So cute to see that you made with your family! I never saw anything like this in a jam.
The game is really nice and fun, you and your kids sure had a lot of fun making this game.
Nice job, guys!

Nice to make a game with your family :) I liked it, the controls of running the snake felt very suitable for running a big snake. Was a bit unsure about what the purpose of the game was while playing, I thought I was battling the bird. Could be interesting with some clear threat.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Good job to all of you :)

Well done overall!

Nice twist on the snake mechanics. I could see that gameplay being expanded with having to block attacks with your long snake body by circling the robot frost eagle for example. Loved the art!

Really cool idea - love that you had your kids involved, too.

Definitely could use some better level balance, but there's a lot of good stuff in here.

Interesting game concept, good graphics and audio. The is fun to play, addictive and fits the themes very well. I encountered some gems outside the level, I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be.

I love that your kids helped you with this! A unique and fun take on the snake genre. A little tighter turning radius would have been nice. Great job!

Not bad, but WHY does space key restart the game?!
Also it seemed to me that the eagle destroyed the items, and he was my enemy :D

Nice entry! I is a nice twist on the snake game! With more balencing and additionnal levels, it could be an interesting game for a post LD! Just to let you know, I had a huge glitch in the last level: the bird went back to the starting position every time he reached half the level. I let the game running like this for 5mn and without reason, I finished the game despite the bird not being with his childs. Anyway, I had a great time, good job ;)

Mmm, tasty humans. Fun game, but a touch frustrating with the big wide turns when there are so many things that need to be done.
