Awesome news! 

Snake vs Snake v1.3.0 just passed certification on Nintendo Switch which adds support for 6 players, the ability to set snake speed and customize battle mode and improved graphics. Pretty much all the good stuff that you have been able to enjoy for months already on PC  and Xbox One.

There is one bug fix that isn’t out on PC yet and that is because I’m reworking the leaderboard system for speed runs to make it more interesting, more info will be available about this shortly.

Complete change log v1.3.0

* Fixed bug: Fixed sign in problems on Xbox One.
* Fixed Bug: In hardcore mode if you would exit to the main menu while playing the game the score didn’t reset which means you could easily get a really good score by just playing level 1 lots of times.
* Fixed Bug: When the Snake was running fast and you made a very fast turn it could kill you. This happens a lot more on PC than it did on consoles.

Sadly the v1.2.3 update of Snake vs Snake got stuck in the Nintendo certification queue for a very long time and just in the last moment they detected a tiny bug that needed fixing. Since the PC and Xbox version had several updates since then I decided to create a v1.2.9 update for all platforms.

Above is a funny bug where the Snakes just kept growing the in leaderboard for battle mode .

This update is also out on Xbox One and is being certified for Nintendo Switch , unclear when it will be available but I’ll keep you posted.

I hope that you will enjoy the new update and keep sending feedback in our  Discord Server.

Complete change log v1.2.9

* Improved: Remove exploit where you could restart a level when you were about to die to get a good time or survie longer.
* Improved: Leaderboard sorting type is now included on Nintendo Switch in the header.
* Fixed bug: On Nintendo Switch the game would crash if you closed it while the game was paused.
* Fixed Bug: Using Nintendo Pro controller displays wrong button in the leaderboard.*
* Fixed bug: Country and name save button was not aligned.
* Fixed bug: Snakes grew to long on the leaderboard if you pressed play again. Reset was not done properly of player scores.

The AI in the past version of Snake vs Snake didn’t really do a good job with killing other players. Mostly it randomly just fired a shot whenever it got a hold of one. So I made it into a sniper AI that waits and aims to really land that head shot as often as possible. This makes the game much more interesting especially for people playing only against AI but they also contribute to make the game more interesting when playing with humans too.

In the last update I added the ability to customize the snakes speed in battle mode. After playing on faster and insane speed for a long time I felt that the speed in regular levels mode was just too slow and boring. So I increased that a bit in this update.

This update is also out on Xbox One and is being certified for Nintendo Switch , unclear when it will be available but I’ll keep you posted.

I hope that you will enjoy the new update and keep sending feedback in our Discord Server.

Details of what’s new in v1.2.4

* Improved: Speeded up snake on level modes.
* Improved: AI, now it’s much more deadly and wait until it gets an opportunity to shoot other snakes instead of just wasting perfectly good shots at walls and other obstacles.

* Fixed bug: Leaderboard had wrong font + color when access from main menu.
* Fixed bug: Level progression text is missing in levels mode.
* Fixed bug: After level 8 the game got stuck on some systems.
* Fixed bug: Wall bouncing obstacle got stuck on Snake tails at times.

With this updated I’ve focused on implementing features requested by people playing Snake vs Snake. That’s why I’ve added support for up to 6 players and also added the ability to customize battle mode by setting how fast the snakes should move, their length and set the win condition. Here is a sample of the 6 player battle mode running at INSANE speed.

Another thing that has been fully implemented is the new UI menu system and the awesome new logo.

A bunch of tiny things were changed like the ability to use a power-up by pressing A button even if the slot is empty but you have a power-up in slot B.

I hope that you will enjoy the new update and keep sending feedback in our Discord Server.

* New feature: Customizable battle mode, select Snake speed, length and number of wins required to win.
* Improved: Added 6 Player battlemode.

* Improved: When playing battle mode you get more time to join the game before the count down starts.

* Improved: When a player wins in battle mode the Px Wins text is displayed with the same colors as the winners snake.

Here is another attempt at doing a vlog with some insights of the development of Snake vs Snake.

Here is a regular text update if you prefer that.

As I mentioned in the last update we got a review with lots of suggestions how the game could be improved. A big change in the update is the new graphics and tools used to build levels. The graphics is based on a sprite sheet system and is drawn directly on a grid using a great tool for Unity called Super Tilemap Editor. This gives us the ability to create more complex and interesting levels.

Another important new feature is the ability to continue an old speed run or hardcore session. So let’s say you’ve completed 75% of the game and need to go an eat dinner or something. Previously you had to start over from scratch but now you can continue from where you ended the game last time. Hopefully this will lead to more people completing all levels of the game.

The AI has also received a makeover and it now behaves much better and is at times pretty hard to beat in battle mode. There is still room for improvements in future updates.

Hey! On this update I’m trying something new a development vlog where I ramble about the update.

Below there is a regular text update if you prefer that.

Right, now to the regular text update which includes a few things that I forgot to mention. After reading the first review for Snake vs Snake on Nintendo Switch I got a bit devastated. The Inner Circle Games Network gave Snake vs Snake 3.2/5 stars, you can read the review here. I was hoping for a better rating to be honest. Well after a day I climbed out of the cave again and decided that they had a point the game needs to be improved. The review did give Snake vs Snake 7.2/10 in score for gameplay which is actually pretty good. So this update focused on solving a few things that was brought up in the review like the ability to access the leaderboard from the main menu. With the update you also get a new Speedrun mode where you get an infinite retries for each level but it adds to your total time so if you are better you’ll get a lower final time when you complete all levels. The previous level mode has been changed into hardcore mode where you only get 3 hearts to complete the whole game and the pace is much faster. Actually the overall pace of the game has been increased in each mode except for Endless (Classical mode). In the next updates I’m looking into fixing a proper end condition for the multiplayer mode and also improve the levels in single player mode to make them more interesting.
