How does your game fit the theme?
The game's concept is "Snake, but you're the apple, and you get a gun". You play as the apple running from the snakes until you find a gun, and then in a second role switch, you kill the snakes.

Post-Jam version is up, with some fixes and a new snake type! Thank you to everyone who played and rated the game! #5 in enjoyment is mind-boggling to think about for me.
The older version should still be available in the downloads in case I broke the game.
In the browser version music and boss room didn't work for me, but after I downloaded it, my only complaint is the lack of quit button in the main menu.
Is it possible to get 26/26 apples? It appeared to me that throwing an apple is the only way to move the snake blocking the passage? Or can I pick the apple back up after throwing it? Excuse me for a moment while I replay the whole game. Top marks from me.
Yes, it is possible to save that one apple if you pick it up again. The game counts by simply looking how many apples exist when transitioning between levels. Thank you so much for playing the game!
Cool game, I would like some more enemy types and levels and it will be great.
Very cool idea, good job!
Really cool!!! And the extra twist at the end that tells you how many apples you saved! Pure gold!
Really cool "Snake" game! Love the idea of playing as the apple. The music when you pick up the gun is really great as well! Gun feels good to use and I like the particles too. I can't think of too much more to add... other than more guns might be cool.
Overall pretty polished for a jam game. Great work! Not sure if I did great though... in the end after defeating the boss I only saved 7/26 apples...
7/26 is pretty good considering you didn't even know the game was counting. Thanks for the review!
Surprisingly engaging for what it is. 🐍 -->🔫🍎
Really satisfying and I like how music changes when you pick up the gun. Really fun to play as well and the mechanics are very unique. Nice job
Shooting the snakes is very satisfyingly and the pixel art animations are great. While the snake game may have been used a lot the gun part is very unique and the sounds are great. Great submission well done :D
this kicks ass
The apple takes revenge! This was so fun to play and addicting as well, very well done and I love the style to it.
That was fun. Not often you see a game and boss battle done in a game jam.
Ahh no I was so close, the snake got stuck in itself, 😂
The game is really fun, sound, music and graphics are good, gameplay feels smooth and polished, and I really like the fact you integrated the tutorial into the gameplay rather than having a wall of text.
It's kinda funny I've seen at least 5 entries that use this concept for the jam had goofy eyes for the apple (ours included).
Very fun to play and look and feels amazing, only complain (which is barely one) is that the boss fight could probably be harder, cheers.
Thanks for the review! Yeah, I really held back with the boss because I saw people quitting near the end last jam when I made the game harder.
this is simply, extremly fun to play. there are no other words which could describe it
I really love how badass the apple looks like when it gets the gun... And the snakes with weakpoints are a really nice touch, overall a pretty polished and fun game xD
thank you!!
There really isn't that much for me to say that hasn't been said... This is just an incredible game, with neat art and cool music!
And I really like the secret thing that adds replayability value. It becomes so much more interesting with that in mind!
Wouldn't the name rogue apple make more sense, since bad apple is literally the name of a meme song.
Regardless it was a really fun game.
Awesome work for a 48h jam, easily one of my favourites so far! 🐍🔫🍎💖🍎
Starting as a more helpless form that needs to reach the gun first is a great two-stage mechanic, and with the throwable apples it has a fantastic stealth-game style that almost immediately becomes a really cool “My turn… 😈” moment. Having the two types of snake with different weaknesses makes it a lot more dynamic too, plus the touch of them getting longer like the classic Snake was neat to realise.
Sprites are very aesthetically cool, love the soundtrack and the retro sounds fit the vibe well. The boss fight was a really pleasant surprise as well, simple but effective way to end; also liked that the “Apples Saved” message at the end does challenge you to play again in a sort of hardmode, very simple addition but a nice touch!
Only issue I noticed is the snakes getting stuck on each other if they pile up in a corner, but you can use that to your advantage, so no complaints really. 😎👌
very intres
ting game , I like a lot distracting and collecting gun , this game made me play again and again , saved it for my future timepass.
