What if you took classic Snake but inverted the goal and made it so you have to form a loop by eating your own tail?

That's the idea behind my upcoming puzzle game Snakeloop which now has its first video teaser.

Made some harder levels for my puzzle game and testing them takes a fair bit of time. Finding a first then a lot of iterating to find the different possible solutions and trying to optimize it.

Small tweaks to Snakeloop's graphics so the game looks less boring grey with some more saturated and lighter color, also made the grid pop out a bit more.

Left is before & right new.

Nouveau stream interview ce Jeudi 16 Janvier à 19h00.

Ce mois-ci on reçoit @FaithGamer420, développeur du colony sim incrémental Idle Colony.

L'occasion de revenir sur différents aspects du développement d'un tel jeu ainsi que le succès de sa sortie.

[Axel 'Vlad' Born @axelvborn]

First implementation of a level solver for Snakeloop (slowed down for video). Not something that will be shipped with the game but still a tool that'll help with level design.

The audio part of Snakeloop is starting to come together with music & sfx from @_klayr now integrated into the game.

Also shoutout to @_klayr who does the music for the game and delivered a first draft right in time to submit it for @tgagwcaga (the game should be part of the honorable mentions coming soon).

oopsie, snek is ded

For this #ScreenshotSaturday, here's a recent improvement on Snakeloop, with the snake's dead head remaining on the level rather than disappearing when the snake shrinks too much.

[Axel 'Vlad' Born @axelvborn]

Still quite WIP but the art for Snakeloop is taking shape with now a rounded snake, bit of work on colors and different shapes between fruits that can be eaten several times and those that don't.

Hey #PitchYaGame!

My current game is a puzzle game which could be summed up as Snake but your goal is to eat your own tail and form a loop.

Project is pretty well advanced although graphics will change a lot. Steam page will come once I find a proper name for the game.

Breaking Survivors' 1-year anniversary update is out!

A better balance with a rework of the freeze line artifact, addition of a friends filter to leaderboards and some other smaller stuff.

The game is also on sale at -40% for the next 14 days.
