class project ass game
Great little puzzle game with decent presentation, but a really awful soundtrack. No fine-tuning of sound in the options, so if there are any sfx, I missed out on them.
Nice and functional puzzle game, a solid use of a few hours if you've got time to kill. I do wish there was some clear difficulty indicators of easy and hard puzzles as I wound up doing some mechanic tutorials as some of my final puzzles, but at least it saved the final challenge for last.
Woah! Snake's Tale really surprised me with its depth. Did the thing I really like in level-based puzzle games where just as I've gotten my head around one obtuse mechanic, another is added. That accumulation stopped this from being your standard sliding-tile game, I can see the vision here.
There was no hand-holding either, some of the earliest levels you can access had some of the wildest solutions that I needed to come back to after understanding the way the pieces fit together. I LOVED this.
A few things stop this from a perfect score. Firstly the absurd music - it had such a short loop that drove me crazy instantly. If this had some light ambience with occasional variation I could have chilled out in this game forever, but instead I had to find my own soundtrack. Secondly the presentation of the overworld felt a little thin. It's a minor thing, but I actually love how the snakes look in the level, but anytime I had to navigate to the next puzzle it felt like I was looking at an early 00s flash game (which doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing I guess, but in this case it was).
Definitely high on my recommendations for the Ukraine Bundle
