Snakeloop

Snakeloop inverts the classic snake gameplay (eat all food without colliding with yourself) by instead asking you to form a loop with your snake. When you hear that concept, what kinds of puzzles do you imagine? As one might expect, there are one-of and reusable tiles which make your snake longer or shorter; as well as walls and cul-de-sacs. But there are also puzzles where you control multiple snakes at once, and need to turn them all into one loop (by merging them) or multiple loops. The game quickly goes all-in into the latter, and by the ~halfway point, ~all levels require controlling multiple snakes while dodging around obstacles. The game's store description undersells this point; the game is less about turning snakes into loops and more about controlling multiple characters at once. Finally, each level has an optional challenge about completing the puzzle in the minimum number of moves. I really like the puzzle concept, but I'm not at all enamored with the level design. Movement par goals are about the most boring optional challenge one can imagine in puzzle games, since such solutions don't necessarily require any interesting insights, just tedium. Controlling multiple characters at once is also frustrating, and furthermore feels completely unconnected to the make-a-loop theme. And trying to beat a move par count feels even worse when controlling multiple characters at once. Also, one cannot undo past level complete, which is annoying when trying to solve a level in less moves. Level progression is linear: one needs to solve all levels in a chapter to unlock the next chapter, so it's very easy to get stuck. Fortunately a full playthrough video exists on Youtube. Overall verdict: If you're looking for a tough puzzle game *and* like the game I describe here (rather than the one described in the store page), then sure, go for it. I personally didn't enjoy myself, though, and thus stopped ~two thirds in (at lvl 62/90).

Étant un joueur qui apprécie les puzzles games, énigmes etc ... J'ai bien accroché à Snakeloop. On part d'un concept ultra connu et en fait quelque chose de frais, malin et hyper plaisant à jouer. Les niveaux deviennent de plus en plus intéressants, avec la petite frustration quand tu essaies de faire chacun des niveaux avec la meilleure optimisation de coup. Le style visuel clean, minimaliste, avec une musique tranquille qui donne au jeu une dimension vraiment chill qui te fait cogiter. Les nouveautés de gameplay qui arrivent au fil des niveaux donnent envie de continuer pour voir ce qui attend le joueur. Donc tu peux acheter ce jeu sans hésitation =)

Snakeloop est un excellent puzzle game qui vous demandera pas mal de concentration et de réflexion pour arriver au bout de ses niveaux. Pour les complétionnistes, le jeu vous propose un nombre optimal de coups pour arriver à la solution. Et pour ceux qui en veulent toujours plus et qui souhaitent désigner leurs niveaux, le jeu supporte le Steam Workshop.

Très bon petit puzzle game, la curve de difficulté est bien maîtrisé, les derniers niveaux de chaque mécanique sont vraiment pas simples.

The game concept is quite simple. Eat your own tail. You have a large campaign that slowly evolves to add new mecanics which will try to fry your brain (especially so if you go for the solutions with the least number of moves...). I find the difficulty to be quite well balanced, The game is well worth its price.

Really fun puzzle game, easy to handle at first but with a really great difficulty curve introducing more challenging mechanics along the way. Really worth its price with 100+ levels included and workshop creations also available.

Looks simple, starts simple, and then... Twists your brain! Great twist on the classic snake, some of these are quite tough, especially if you're going for the least amount of moves. I really liked how the game indicates you you did N too many moves, to encourage you to try again. And if you're stuck, just move to another puzzle! You're free to choose which you want to do and which you don't want to do. The aesthetics are nice as well, everything is easy to read, easy to understand and hard to get it right. Exactly what you're looking for in a puzzle-game!

Fun little game. Works well on the steam deck, perfect to play on the bus when travelling.

Great puzzle game, good snake twist.
