this game is fun ^^

Great little puzzle game, and earns the accolade of “4k game I have played longer than any other 4k game”.

Cas :slight_smile:

Lvl 9 and 10 bit tricky but fun. thanks for the source :slight_smile:

#44

Very cool and original game. However, concerning its difficulty, you should consider replacing level 6 by the current 4th, and lower by one rank the current levels 5 and 6. This way, I have the feeling the difficulty would be more progressive. Actually, level 10 was even less tricky for me than the current 4th.

Points taken.

I’ve popped Snake on a Plane into my custom framework meaning heres a flash version (from Java source);

I’ll add some onscreen controls and stick it on android and iPhone also.

hey Kev, really nice game. Just wondering how works this custom framework to convert a java game to flash? What is this touchAPI? thanks!

#47

That is the damn cleverest game I have played in a long time. And I have to say it again, the name is just the best. If this isn’t the winner, it’ll be because someone managed to cram all of minecraft into 4k ;D

#48

Wow sproingie you really liked it!

#49

The TouchAPI is what I call my custom framework. The java2flash stuff works using a bit a Java2AS, some java decompilation to filter out the bits that won’t work in AS3 and then some ant replace tasks.

Very nice. On a par with putty puzzle in terms of addictiveness!!

The only thing I didn’t get (not sure if a bug) is on level 7, after going in the red transporter and coming out of the blue transporter the snake can move along to the top left pellet without falling due to gravity.

#51

Thats cause he’s stuck in the teleport stream! :slight_smile:

The obvious tactical piece you’re missing are poison pellets that decrease your size by one. ;D

#53

They exist in game code but don’t appear in levels any more I don’t htink.

Cheers,

#54

There was a level with one a while back but none of the current levels have them :frowning:

#55

Great game you got there, specially bearing in mind the restrictions ( 4K ).
Very clever design and with possibility for great puzzles!

#56

A bigger version of this game with 100 levels is must 8)

#57

I think you should keep working on this even after 4k. This is a very great concept :stuck_out_tongue:

#58

Fun and addictive! Only one very small point, I would make the snake fall a bit faster. Found myself thinking “hurry up an fall to the bottom already”. :slight_smile:

#59

Just saw it mentioned on IndieGames, nice job :slight_smile:

#60

Cool! Positive feedback too :slight_smile:

Interestingly the flash version is the one featured, not the Java version. Much easier to get flash out there I think.

Cheers,

Kev
