This is a simple snake script. I took a tutorial (I didn't just copy and paste stuff, I actually LEARNED something) and then put a lot of smoke and mirrors on it to make it look cool. It has audio, and it should work properly. I also have a working preloader, which should be evidence that I at least TRIED to make something worth playing.

"Take a Bow, Dammit."

date: May 9, 2008

I can see why you don't think this is very good, but I disagree. You may remember me as one of the people who took a crack at the test version of Fizzle, a game you were likewise displeased with.

The best guess I have for your dislike of your own work is that it lacks the X-Treem edge that people tend to expect from Newgrounds. But it is precisely BECAUSE you don't have the flashing lights and screaming horns of normal video games that I like the things you make.

Moonbow Snake is elegant. You've taken the basic idea of Snake and added your part, with a picture, celestial elevator music, and an interesting color pattern for the snake. Every other version of Snake I've seen here is either hopelessly bastardized or contemptibly underdone. You've struck a balance, whether by design or chance I can't say. Snake was never meant to have sensitive controls or power-ups, but putting a shine on an old game idea doesn't hurt either.

Take a bow, dammit.

Author's Response:

Well, my goodness. I appreciate that you like it, and that you're clearly enough of a fan of my work to check out some of the other things I've done. I appreciate that you like the simplicity; I agree in some aspects that simplicity is good; It keeps the player from getting confused. At the same time, though, some of the art is just shoddy, not merely simplistic. It's less the basic premise of the simplistic fun that I'm unhappy with as far as my own work, it's the lack of real artistic genius behind them and the lack of 100 percent coherent programming on my part. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm working to make what my fans like in abundance.

On that note, I really appreciate the review.

Not just saying that out of courtesy, I mean I truly do appreciate it.

"Way Better"

date: July 27, 2007

This was way better than the other snake clone you did, I cant wait till you post the pong game. That should be sweet.

"So much potential..."

by: Aci6
date: July 26, 2007

This is just an average run of the mill snake clone, you can't deny it.
The snake grows about 5 blocks longer everytime you catch a dot, the music stops and doesn't loop, the replay value is low and it gets old quick.
There are better snake games than this on NG, you would do better to play one of them...
Now that they're gone... this is a potential driven flash. Levels! A campaign mode with new levels! Better snake catching moments with only one block being added on...
this would make it not so boring which it is, though instead of playing this there are better snake games... has potenital but until its given a makeover this is absolutely nothing.

23 out of a possible 100.

Author's Response:

Of course I can't deny it's a run of the mill snake clone.. Don't assume I haven't played other snake games, and yeah I know it's not as good as those... This was really a side project to help me learn some things, I have two other, far more creative titles coming out in the future. I appreciate your honesty and you seem like a professional reviewer.
