I find this game strangely amusing and want to see a multiplayer version some day.
I adore the simplistic graphics. Game fits well with the theme and it's quite fun. Good job.
Getting a 404 as well. contact me @stalkjimmy on twitter if it starts working. I will check back often.
Huh. Sorry everybody. Not sure what happened. I got the 404 too, checked my dropbox, and it came back up right away at the link.
The game is quite interesting. Never thought of having so many worms on the platform at one time.
Neat! I like how you made Snake multiplayer basically. I won't say that the game fits well with the theme though, it's very vaguely interpreted. But it's a nice game!
I revisited today thanks for updating us on the 404!
I really like the game (it worked in chrome but wouldn't load all the way in safari for me)
I love snake (especially on the nokia phones of yesteryear)
so much fun. great work and nice game. I like the colors too.
This is a pretty cool snake game, the music fits really well. I feel like I'm looking through a microscope and just watching these things poop and grow...I'm pretty sure those red things are poop :P
One odd thing is when I eat one of those red things, my snake will grow into odd shapes. Not sure if it is a bug or feature.
I enjoyed this a lot! Graphics are nice and simplistic, music is cool, and gameplay is fun!
Really fun variant of snake. I would love a local mp version of this!
Just... wow! The game was intriguing enough from the screens for me to open it using a different browser that Safari, and I'm glad I did! Beautiful in terms of the minimal graphics, the color, and the overall spareness of the design. All that and it was super enjoyable too!
Very cool graphics and sound! Also neat take on snake, would also be interested on trying this as multiplayer.
Sweet, I haven't played anything like this in years. Pseudo-multiplayer too, pretty awesome.
Oh my... a TRON / Snake crossover? How cool is that? With actual poop! Adds a lot to the realism, and I really mean that, even if I still chuckle from the idea of death through poop^^
Great feel to the game, lots of stuff going on but simple to understand, easy to pick up and play.
My best time was 35 seconds, but I have a feeling I could do better. Great fun!
Fun!!
Simple mechanics and graphics that goes a long way.
Great work!
Nice snake like game. I liked the graphics and found it humorous that the snakes poo out other squares.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
For your list of browsers: it didn't get past loading on Opera, due to an issue with window.requestAnimationFrame.
Worked fine in Chrome though!
