[b]3/10[/b] Snake for two! [b]What is it:[/b] A turn-based snake-inspired game, in which you play with two water snakes trying to collect all the pies. The snakes can grow and shrink, keeping their tail part in one spot, and they can also switch between two levels, above and below water. There are 4 different worlds, one with just the snakes and obstacles in their way, with focus on finding paths without colliding, one with fish that also try to eat the cakes, so you must hurry and block their path first, one with water spouts that automatically push you up from under water, if there isn't already a snake above, and one with ice that blocks you from switching levels. Also, the game is supposed to have co-op play, but I don't think it actually works. The mechanics are interesting, and could make a great game, but this game is really bad. [b]How hard is it:[/b] Very easy to easy. [b]How long is it:[/b] 20 levels, 5 in each of the 4 worlds, for less than 30 minutes of playtime. Levels need to be played in order. [b]Level design:[/b] Meh, none impressed me, seems like obvious designs showcasing the mechanics. [b]Quality:[/b] Very bad. Non-configurable ZXC + arrows controls, with Z as reset right next to the main action buttons. No undo. No cloud saves, no achievements. Too few levels. One fixed resolution. Almost no other settings, just a sound toggle. Bad/inconsistent keyboard navigation. 45deg view forcing me to play with my head tilted. After I turned fullscreen on, the game always crashed on the Steam Deck, rendering it unplayable. [b]Worth the price:[/b] No. [b]Most positive aspect for me:[/b] Interesting mechanics. [b]Most negative aspect for me:[/b] Everything.
