Exquisite sokoban, yet this game is so pure in its mechanics, that if you don't finish it in a couple of sittings, you may not finish it at all. For the last couple of months I've tried to play it from time to time, but got pretty bored of it. Excellent puzzle design, though. May pick it up again some time.

TLDR Grid-obstacle puzzle game with “snake” mechanics, colourful and silly, challenging but fair puzzles. [17/20⭐, 12h🏅, 4/5💡] Context Snakebird is grid-obstacle puzzle game with snake-mechanics: the playable character(s) leave an impassable tail behind. In terms of mechanics, the closest that comes to mind is last year’s great [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/macwh/recommended/1295320/]Can of Wormholes , although in Snakebird the snakes move vertically. The game is known for its difficulty, probably also due to the contrast with its colourful and silly aesthetics. If you’d like to try the gameplay with much simpler levels, you can check out [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/macwh/recommended/1014140/]Snakebird Primer (which I personally played before this entry). Writing There’s no plot, you just have to feed snake-birds fruit and lead them into the rainbow through different thematic areas (unrelated to gameplay). Aesthetics The visuals are simple and colorful, and fit well with the overall silly setting. I also enjoyed the playful soundtrack, although I admit I had to turn it off as playtime increased in the last area. Gameplay Snakebird is a grid-based puzzle game with gravity, where your own body also acts as an obstacle, in the style of the classical snake game: as you eat fruits (required to beat the level) your tail grows and trails behind your head. Additional mechanics appear as you progress, most notably the need to control up to 3 snakebirds per level. Snakebird is known for being extremely challenging, and rightly so (although I feel many have been misled by the cute design). There is real no learning curve, but I alsoI felt the difficulty remained stable until reaching the last area where it escaleted further. However, if you’re used to modern Sokoban-style games, you won’t be surprised by the level of difficulty. Level design is very clever, although I felt some were a bit more intricate than necessary (I’m more of a fan of “difficult to figure out, easy to execute”). The interface is smooth (you can use the keyboard or the mouse, zoom in and out), you can reset the level, undo indefinitely (except through resets), and if you die you get back to the previous state. Progress is auto-saved, including the state of the current level if you quit (but not of all levels). Value It took me about 12h to beat the 50 levels spread across 6 areas. You can select the levels non-linearly as you unlock them. There is a single progress slot, but you can revisit and solve previous levels. Achievements are related to level progress, no added playtime, and an additional one for finding collectibles. PS: despite the Steam warning, the game runs in recent macOS versions.

The way gravity works in this game killed me then brought me back to life. Very challenging yet incredibly fun. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys having their knowledge of the game's mechanics tested to the edge. The art is simple yet beautiful, the sound effects are charming, and the music is calming and cute. Overall, a 10/10 game for me.

First off a disclaimer; I appreciate puzzle games where there is essentially a single correct, working solution to every puzzle - as opposed to more open-ended and/or programming-style puzzlers. I want tight, mindfully designed scenarios with explicit constraints imposed on the player to narrow down the possible solutions ideally to exactly one satisfyingly perfect organization of moves. Games like that make me appreciate the process of creating the game just as much as the process of "deconstructing" it by solving the problems it presents to the player. There's a certain element of intellectual intimacy to this kind of specificity and meticulousness of design that presents itself as an "analytical narrative". This game blew my socks off. What a wholesome, thoroughly enjoyable puzzler. The graphic style, color palette, animation, sound, cute characters, intriguing game mechanics, brilliant level design that challenges you to think and plan, striving for perfecting the economy of movement in a way that makes you feel like you're constantly pushed to "outsmart" the circumstances. This game emanates all-around positive vibes on all fronts. You'll get stuck, you'll be frustrated, and then suddenly the light shines upon you and you figure out that just a small tweak in the sequence of moves will enable you to reach that one seemingly unattainable fruit or get a foothold on the next platform, or the solution just emerges when you let go of whatever you were trying to do and start from a clean slate. There is just something exceptionally elegant and satisfying about the design and delivery of this game. Snakebird earns the place among my all-time favorite puzzlers along with Quell, Toki Tori, Tetrobot & Co., Fish Fillets 2 and Bean and Nothingness, and the difficulty is up there in the ranks of the last two. The only negative things I can think of are that it made me feel dumb, the clickable props achievement was a bit of a chore, and that I can't find Snakebird 2 anywhere.
