Temple Of Snek

The ancient beast awakens

I love the premise Temple of Snek has: a puzzle-rhythm adventure based on the classic game of Snake. In the beginning, it doesn't feel so bad, especially as you eat dudes to grow in size (or occasionally shrink) and deal with the advantages/disadvantages it comes with. Temple of Snek supports the original Snake formula with a metronome: everything moves to the beat of the music, including you and NPCs. Furthermore, Temple of Snek expands upon that formula with traps, railings, enemies, 3D spaces with verticality, and more. This is all well and good until you're hours deep into this game and you're dealing with grandiose puzzles that demand you to cross cross around multiple rooms in a Very Specific and Exact way. It's especially hard to manage when you have to deal with the basic trappings of like causing Snek to bump into walls (or yourself), or you get stabbed BY something. I understand that some puzzle games can be like this, but it becomes a chore when you have to restart from a checkpoint all because you made one wrong move, which feels about as punishing as the actual Snake game. Instantly restarting in a room only works best when you can feasibly complete it in about one minute. Sure, you have some (minimal) accessibility options, but it won't save you from a wrong input. The bigger and more complex a room gets, the more time you will spend on trying to complete it CORRECTLY. I don't like puzzle games that have long & complicated setups (probably a Me problem), but it does help that the 3rd hint in each room just spells out the solution. Even THAT cannot save you from a wrong input. I thought I could grin and bear it most of the way, but it was Chapter 8 that was my breaking point. One room required exiting it in a specific way, while dealing with respawning enemies. I understood what I needed to do, but it would take me so much time to set it up properly. Even if I referred to the hint system, I'm still spending So Much Time & energy on getting it right. It's even more frustrating when I need to set myself up to a certain Snek length in another room with ZERO indication of it without looking at the pause menu's minimap. Hell, even tho the game gets away with a lot narrative plot points and gameplay mechanics without words, it's a double-edged sword since I could get lost/confused without better guidance. But I eventually realized that since the game will ALWAYS reset you back to the last checkpoint, even after spending minutes on each attempt, that it's just not worth it to keep going. Nevermind the weird glitches I kept encountering by playing on a controller, like the pause menu appearing when I didn't press any buttons, or how the menu selection does not properly navigate down the buttons in a proper descending order (this can cause me to to misinput, and accidently select Load Previous Checkpoint). Temple of Snek is a very ambitious game. I love it's idea, but I do not enjoy the gameplay in its current state. If you added mechanics that allow you to undo, rewind, or set a checkpoint at any point in time (like quick saving), then I'd have an easier time with it. At the end of the day, this is a game that disrespects your time. If the time between starting a place for the first time to restarting wasn't so long & boring, then I wouldn't be complaining about it here. The fact that only 2% of the playerbase have gotten the achievement JUST FOR BEATING THE STORY MODE tells me that there's very something wrong with this game.

neat concept for a puzzle game, but gameplay is too slow

Like classic Snake, but with more brain-melting puzzles!

classic snake but with a twist.

I can't stand that it's rhythm based. You can only move in the rhythm and the beat is very slow. I hate to wait for the game to let me play. There is a fast forward option but that is weirdly delayed and lets you only move forward and not sideways, so that doesn't help with waiting. It's a tile-based puzzle game and has some mechanic similarities with Snakebird like holding onto a ledge as long as there is one part of the tail remaining on it. I loved Snakebird and would've liked Temple of Snek if it was without that movement restriction. If there is one thing I don't like then it's waiting and this game lets me wait during every step. Wait is there an option to increase the tempo? ... I just checked, yep there is, and a step-by-step option but both options still let me wait during every step. I want instant movement not this delayed stuff.

Игра очень длинная как змея в сочетание с высокой сложностью это очень выматывает и опустошает. Особенно допекло ближе к финалу игра ломает собственные правила. И удивляйся после этого почему так мало людей её прошло (буквально два человека один из которых скорее всего разработчик). Сюжет(лучше бы его не было) про добрых ацтеков и злых испанцев. Вообще чем дольше играешь в какую либо игру тем больше испытываешь разочарование. РАЗРАБОТЧИКИ, ПЕРЕСТАНЬТЕ РАСТЯГИВАТЬ СВОИ ИГРЫ !!!

snek

yes you snake but more than just simple snake you go around and figure out how to snake you can also make a snake but don't forget that you need snake brain to be able to snake this so yea i'd rate this SNAKE out of SNAKE definitely would snake again yea totally i'd snake it
