Serpland (C64)

Hm. When i look at the video of "C64 Masters", i ask myself, how level 4 is solvable at the moment? There are two dead ends in the maze in this level. Or maybe, the level can be solved, if you immediately get the object in the middle at the beginning? Because then the snake isn't that long and maybe you can then turn around there, in the middle? And the object in the other dead end, the player then must collect at the end. This seems to be the only solution of this level, or am I missing something? So far, i have always failed in level 3 myself.  :)

Great game !

Manolober, a better alternative to "infinite lives" pokes could be, to release a v1.1 of your game (alot of people, who publish a game here, later make updated versions of it) and in this v1.1 you then could wipe out some of the weaknesses from v1.0, like for example the big speed-increase that happens from level-2 to level-3 and so on. The game is already good, but it's normal, that in a v1.0, often not everything is absolutely perfect. Using "infinite lives" pokes is no longer a playing-challenge for the users then, because they can go on forever and play as bad as they want with this, but an improved v1.1 could be a great idea. Maybe you also have own ideas, what else could be improved, then also this could be realized in a v1.1 ("giving points" (depending on the used time) and a "highscore-saver to disk" would be nice, for example). Some people here release five or more updated versions of their game in the time after, so this would not be a problem. Maybe you can do it by your own, or you find someone, that could help you (on CSDB maybe, we already wrote about it). That would be great.

Nice game!

Il gioco è stupendo e ti ringrazio, grafica bellissima, magari se abbassi la velocità del gioco, perchè dal 3o livello corre tantissimo il serpente e sarebbe più bello poter ragionare per prendere i segmenti. Grazie comunque per il bellissimo lavoro e tempo dedicato. Lo sto provando sul mio canale twitch/alextiger71 e youtube.

Nice game. But would be better to use english language to address a larger audience of the C64 community.

Nice new Nibbler variant. The game plays really fresh and good. Only thing i wondered a little bit was, that the speed-increase from Level 2 to Level 3 is really dramatic. In Level 3, the snake suddenly is more than double as fast, as it was in Level 2, which makes this Level not so easy to solve, because of control-problems, not because of the difficulty of this level. Maybe a slightly slower increase in the snake speed from level to level would be better playable here?

And then, I was surprised that the player can stop at certain corners of the game, so that he then has enough time, to think about the next step. This stopping-time, that the player can take here, could (and should) be limited, for example in a way, that the snake continues moving after around 2 or 3 seconds, because otherwise the player can make good use of this thing by constantly stopping in corners and then thinking longer, where to go now and this actually shouldn't be possible in a Nibbler game, i think (at least his is not possible in the original Arcade version). So I would change a few little things, then it's a really good new Nibbler variant for the C64.

By the way, i think the game should not only be tagged as "Game for Windows" (over an emulator) here in itch.io, but additionally also as a C64 game (what it actually is). Otherwise C64-fans could easily overlook it and C64-fans are not so few in the meantime, since this retro-computer is experiencing something like a second spring, with all its new software-releases, that are constantly coming out for it.
