Hey! Been a while since I abused this board to self-promote, so here we go again. Having some free time on my hands lately, I've decided to join a random game jam and ended up creating this:

https://lukaswho.itch.io/moebiusss

So yeah. It's basically Snake on a Moebius Strip and that's it. Not very spectacular and definitely not puzzley, but maybe the math nerds around here enjoy the concept and playing it for a few minutes.

Pretty good for a gamejam output. (I feel like they should make gamejams longer so we get more ambitious games out of it, but I guess that goes against the concept.) The twist in the strip does affect gameplay a bit, so I wouldn't discount it as a mere gimmick. My top score is 9. Nicely done, sir.

Had fun with it! I got to 20, but I kept not eating the thing for whatever reason. Game jam bugs, amirite?

Thank you both for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it :)

In defense of game jams, I'm pretty sure other people do more ambitious stuff with them than I did here. I was pretty surprised that I managed to get the gameplay working in about a day, so I spent a lot of time adding a base level of polish, which was also a neat exercise.

Someone Else, are you sure the food wasn't just on the wrong "side"? I admit that while the glow effect is active, it's kind of hard to tell the difference, which is a case of questionable game jam design decisions I guess. Otherwise, that sounds like a pretty nasty bug. I have an inkling what might be causing it, but I thought I fixed that and I never encountered it myself.

(Also man, I just realized how much of last week I spent getting good at this completely pointless game)

Literally nothing wrong with self-promotion. Especially that I like you

Albeit disappointed that the game wasn't inspired by the RIP artist Moebius:no
