Cannibalism at his finest! 10/10
great game just hard to get started
very fun and neat and its creative
Gameplay felt pretty tense during tourney mode and the music changing in pitch each round elevated that
Pretty neat game! For the most part it's a rather simple versus battle game with Snake mechanics which isn't up my alley, but the game's presentation and style is very peppy and the battles do offer some element of strategy and depth to them through the inclusion of power-ups, body size influencing speed, and being able to bisect enemies and eat their shed body parts. The game also has a decent amount of modes to play. Basically I didn't have the best hopes for it at the start, but it ended up impressing me!
Keep in mind that this review is coming from someone who only played single-player mode, which while I was very happy to see its inclusion, it might not showcase the game at its best. The feedback I'd offer is:
*While the battles were fun at first, I'll admit that I was letdown by the tournament mode since all of the battles felt largely the same. I was hoping that since the snakes were all different characters, they would have stronger personalities and quirks to strategize around like you'd see in your typical fighting games, but it seems like those only manifest when they get powered up which they never have time to do, and it wasn't until the final boss that they had a ever-so-slight starting advantage to try and pep things up.
*The game is rather simple, and while it does try to inject some strategy and variety, it doesn't have enough staying power to keep me playing and just feels like padding. As said before, all of the snakes feel the same because fights never last lost enough for their special powers to come into play, and while the game does have different fighting modes, all of them except fruit hunt feel pretty much the same.
*The way snakes move can be awkward with the way they stutter around: I understand it might be a tactical thing based on body size and so on, but it just felt weird and felt like the game is lagging, with the worst being that sometimes it would make my inputs get misinterpreted or ignored.
