How does your game fit the theme?
Based off Retro Snake. In this game instead of playing the Snake you play as the 'Food' which in this game is a Mice. It's also a nod to prey (mice) vs predator (snake), despite being a prey the mice tries to win against the snake.

Thanks to everyone that played and left feedback on 'Mouse' I had a great time making it and had an even better learning from your feedback and comments.
Thanks and see you in the next jam :)
Well done! I really liked making the snake go after you instead of the other mice.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like the provoke/hide mechanic :)
Great job! Reducing the speed as you rescue more mice was a great way to ramp up the difficulty
Thanks I'm happy you liked the difficulty increase!
Excellent game! The idea in itself is simple, but the execution is truly well done. I like that the mouse becomes slower while the snake becomes longer by eating. One wish is that the slow effects should not be as strong as it is now. Anyway, the art is great (also very clear) and the music is fits the game perfectly. The sound effects are also good. I think that it is good that the rules are always on the right side of the screen. Great job!
Thanks for the in-depth feedback, very helpful!
Yes the slow effect is quite strong when you get close to winning which makes it difficult, I hope you still had fun though :)
Yes, the game was very fun!
Really fun, well thought out and nice presentation. Great job!
Thanks for the positive feedback I'm glad you enjoyed it!
a much better snek game than mine, i mean, all snek games are better than mine xd
Thanks for playing!
Everyone has their own unique spin I wouldn't say anyone is better than the others it comes down to the player's personal preference :)
Among all these Gluttonous Snake games, i find this one would be the best for its good balance and reasonable and neat mechanic. To be honest, i feel a bit addicted to this game.
Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback!
I'm glad it was balanced!
Ill try out your game too :)
Great game! It has a very interesting concept and fun mechanics to it. I enjoyed it and got a little addicted playing it ahahah
Thanks! Love to hear that you enjoyed playing it :)
Balance is GREAT! Good job. It reminds me a tad of my own submission, in a different manner.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll need to try your game out then!
Love the balance in difficulty, but the snake still has a bit of an edge over you. Great submission overall!
Thanks for playing!
Yes the snake does get faster than you when you get closer to winning which makes it tougher, I still hope you had fun!
Really enjoyed this, also the distraction mechanic is fun. Got a glitch where I stood to the side of the snake and died even tho I didnt walk into it. Great game!
Thanks for the feedback and bug report!
It looks like the collider might be too big I'll reduce the size of it thanks again!
I like this. I really like the natural difficulty curve where you slow down as you rescue more mice and the snake gets harder as he eats more. Really good game, nice one.
Thanks for playing!
I'm glad you like the difficulty increase, I hope it wasn't too hard!
I had a similar idea, really liked your implementation tho. Figured it makes more sense to run around as a mouse or a rabbit, could've used it in my game.
Still, a great submission! Had a lot of fun :D
Thanks for the feedback!
The original snake used an apple which would have been a bit odd if it moved around so I changed it to a mice haha
Yes another snake game! I always enjoy playing games with different takes on similar ideas, ill try it now!
That was a pretty fun little arcade game! I appreciate that you had the controls work with both WASD and the arrow keys, as my hands were getting tired from furiously mashing to get away from the snake. It's definitely a challenge too, I wasn't able to beat it. Well done!
I'm happy you had fun!
Yes the game does get difficult as you get close to winning, I definitely will make it easier but I hope you still enjoyed it :)
Cute game. Love how you added new mechanics so it isn't just plain old snake. The provoke and hide mechanic along with movement slowing as you collect mice work really well together, very smart game design. Like other people say the endgame basically just comes down to waiting for the mice to spawn close to you. You could either decrease the move penalty a little or add a way to drop off or deposit mice to get some of your speed back for an example. Presentation was clean. Good job!
Thanks for the detailed feedback!
Yes the end game is too difficult, I definitely will decrease the move penalty after the jam voting period to make it easier!
I hope you still had fun :)
Cute game, nice presentation. I like the 3D graphics. Really like the hide/provoke mechanic and slowing down as you rescue mice. The last 2 mice feel pretty RNG heavy, where you basically just have to hope they spawn nicely for you. Of course for a quicker game like this, it's not necessary bad that it's tough to win. Nice work!
Thanks for the in depth feedback!
Yes I think I made it too hard at the end I hope you still had fun :)
Very charming game with good presentantion and creativity, honestly, this makes snake way more tense. The early and midgame were very fun, and woth balancing hiding and provoking. I did feel that by the end it was a little too hard for me. Still great work!
Thanks for the feedback!
It definitely does get too hard when you are close to winning , but I hope you still had fun!
Very cool game idea, and good balancing. The music and art fit well. Good game!
Thanks I'm happy to hear you found it balanced and not too hard!
Interesting mechanics! Really cool take on the idea. By the way, we have snake and mice in our game too
Thanks!
Yes another snake game! I've been trying to play as many as I can seeing different games with similar concept is always fun! I'll check it out now
I enjoyed it! I like how you start to get slower when holding more mice. The obstacles placed allowed for strategic plays like luring the snake one way, and going the other. The snappy movement feels good too. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm glad you had fun :)
