SnakeSP


A new day, a new update. And as sure as the sun would rise, today we've got yet another release from "that one guy who did a fl0w homebrew": MrMr[iCE]. In a span of - what? - three days, his homebrew has gotten very good feedback and a couple of daily updates to boot. No surprise there. Across the bar, a lot of you have agreed that this has been the best looking and best playing homebrew recently.

For those wondering, SnakeSP v4 runs on 1.5 FW, 2.8 with eloader 0995, and 2.71 SE-C. So what else is new?
  • 1up system is in place - You start with 3 lives, and will get additional lives if you get up to the next life score posted next to the life indicators. First 1 up is at 1 million, after that it will depend on how well you are doing. The higher the score multiplier, the higher the next life score will be
  • added some sounds when snake eats or hits itself
The more praise from the homebrew community, the more support from the homebrew developer. Keep those constructive criticisms going guys. At the rate that MrMr[iCE] is updating his game, you're sure to be heard and have your suggestions integrated into future versions.

Download: [SnakeSP v4]
Discuss: [Forum Release Thread]



UPDATE: Our bad, we followed the download link on MrMr[iCE]'s first post on the SnakeSP thread not knowing that this link was not updated. He dropped us a word though so that you guys can have your fill on the real v4 of this great 'brew. File has been updated guys, the download link's up there, you know the drill. And oh, enjoy!

I have to complain

OK i didn't think i would be complaining about this home brew but, well, the bug is still there for us 2.71se users!!!!! I think you really need to address this its not just going to go away, its really annoying i just had some long snake then it vanished and i lost 2 life's :-(. Speaking on behalf of most of the comments people have given i think these are the main priorities you need to sort out, in order of importance. 1. Fix bug 2. Menu (need an option to turn sound effects on and off, they can get a little annoying when your playing the game with music) 3.Speed snake up by Holding down X and then releasing it to slow down ( i think you said it would be in this release in one of your comments...?) 4. Fix hit zone so its a bit wider. 5. Still not happy about the scoring system, i know you've added some work to it but it would be so much simpler if you just had a normal scoring system. However i haven't actually been able to get a "1up" and experience the full potential of the scoring function as i usually die after 1-3 mins because of the bug i get. I don't want to come across as an arsehole but its just this game has SOOOOO much potential its unbelievable, everything is there it just needs "tweaking". Its like your dangling money in front of us then reeling it in with a fishing rod lol. Thanks please keep up the good work

eh?

funny that you dont want to come across as an arsehole, coz you do - he has implimented a lot since the release 24 HOURS AGO

baddass

this is a great little game - nice one mrmrice, suggestions- mp3 player?? (background music?) simple maze/walls (increase difficulty) difficulty levels option of some kinda fractual/trippy/swirling background no rush tho - when you get chance, guess your a busy chap like all of us :>
by - 2006-12-12 11:35:20
found a bug in YAR

great game but 2 bugs: - if your snake is longer than the screen and go out of the map sometimes the tail does wierd - somethinmes the pickup and snake disappears for 3-10 sec

1. High score system 2. PLEASE: let me use the D-Pad! 3. maybe background music? AWESOME snake remake, not constrained by the boundries of crappy phone versions. love the gfx too. keep up the good work and the updates!

V4 is the Bomb!

Every version seems to improve upon it self in multiples - this is kick ass. Looks great, plays great,... i'm going to play some more. No more suggestions from me for a while, i'm sure you already have your work cut out for you.

MrMr[iCE]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW WO W OW OW WO WOW O MrMr[iCE] you sir are truly a top developer. i appologise for moaning earlier but i was playing the same version as before!!! this version 4 is incredible qj are retarded i hate to admit it but i actually like the scoring system now lol :-) this is easily in the top 3 apps for my psp (yes emulators included!) thank you so much rest for a bit its perfect, anything else now is just gravy
by - 2006-12-12 14:14:32
oh yeah

yeah the bug is fixed!!!! it works in 2.71 FLAWLESSLY
by - 2006-12-12 14:52:07
Nope

They didn't just forget to mention it, they hosted the previous release as v4.. I did try it before posting, haven't gotten further than the menu on the real one yet though
by - 2006-12-12 15:20:30
Everything to write in this field has already been written :P

This is great. Please don't accept when sony tries to hire you :P I have a suggestion for your next release though, I thought I had experienced the bug again when my screen went blank (completely blank though, no background), the thing was the auto-screen off when playing with the remote, so if you know how please add something to keep it from turning off the screen. Also one thing that I've said before but just in case, it would be cool to have an option to steer the snake the old way, the snake goes to the direction you press. btw, it's quite easy to cheat, just steer to go almost vertically, just a little angled so that the snake doesn't hit itself and then occasionally it will get something to eat. >.

*Thumbs-Up*

I love it!!!
by q_dmc12 - 2006-12-12 15:44:05
PS...

The ability to drop an mp3 or two to listen to while playing would be nice ;-)
by - 2006-12-12 16:22:06
My first suggestion in v4

"Not logged in" has a nice point, its quite easy to cheat (mind you that youd have to be a complete loser to cheat at snake) to fix this, how about adding starvation into the mix, if the snake doesnt eat than it loses segments and dies..... or just game over, all the while, you lose a certain amount of points per segment lost and oh yeah, im really enjoying the boundary set up now that the game doesnt crash, i have a snake thats reappearing on screen in atleast 3 different places at any given time, this adds a nice 3rd dimension to the difficulty of this game and ps, im becoming addicted to this game
by - 2006-12-12 16:34:52
I'm just testing it

I'm just trying to see how far it could go... it looks quite funny with 12 lanes of a snake :P , I suppose it will stop working when it reaches it's tail
by - 2006-12-12 16:40:52
N-I-C-E

Wow this is the best homebew game hands down! But i dont know if its just me buy when i get to the menu i cant see the credits or options i can only start a new games. But this is awesome!!! Nice work!
by - 2006-12-12 16:45:00
No insult

i didnt mean to say you were cheating at this game, but just that its a loophole and if somebody were to say "IM TEH GR3ETIST!!!!!!!! I SKOARD 1 HUNDR3D Bi||ION iN $NAKE" and they used this loophole, theyd be a loser
by - 2006-12-12 18:07:38
!!

Wow best psp homebrew game ever built!! Thx for ur efforts in making us all so addicted! ;D
by - 2006-12-12 18:08:15
thanks

I can't thank you enough for such an awesome game.
by Twenty-Se7en - 2006-12-12 18:57:48
MAJOR BUG!

Hey, I didn't read through all the comments because I don't currently have the time but there is quite a bug in the game... actually, less like a bug and more like adverse-effect. If you eat too many of the red-slow-down-things your snake will go backwards and you will lose a life... you can press x to speed up but somehow I think that if you were to eat even more red things, you might end up stopped or heading backwards anyway! Great game, loving it since the first release!
by - 2006-12-12 19:08:04
here this out

i left this game on for 2 hours k, i left the snake at an angle, just a slight angle so that it would continue to move. so i went to the store came back did my homework and i remembered that i left the game on. so i check it. and i notce that my screen looks weird. hmm, i realize that my snake grew so long that it is overlappin itself 2 times the enntire screen is covered by the snakes enormous size. and i looked an i noticed that i have 31 lives...........i was like wtf. but i check the score and its only 156,000 points. obviously this is understandable since my multiplier is at 0, but it always fluctuating when the snake gets a blue thingy. i was just suprised how stable this is, i mean thats alot of stuff to process there are about 35 columns long of the snake and i counted about 23 points of the snake on each row................35x23is yeah my snake has 805 points on it. its only growing in number every minute. the snake is really fast cause of all the things its eaten just thought it was entertaining
by - 2006-12-12 19:09:57
update my multiplier just went up a bunch

now my score is over 30 million its sweet
by - 2006-12-12 19:17:51
dang

looking at this thing reminds me of the matrix but with blue ahhhh i just broke 60 million
by - 2006-12-12 20:06:40
So when are you getting rid of those horrible sounds?

The reason flOw is so popular is the ambient music and abstact sound effects. I'm sick of having to mute the game every time I play.
by - 2006-12-12 21:21:59
Lol

This game is kickass.
by - 2006-12-12 21:29:19
This guy isnt reinventing flOw ya know...

and use irshell to play music during the game... youre not even being constructive

Happy

This guy is releasing day after day and people still feel the need to be arsey with him, damn it aint you guys making the game, just playing, so stop acting like you got some kind of choice in the matter. He aint finished yet, he just letting us try it out. It's a great game and I like the new added features, I been with this since day one, and I like the rate that it is improving, and that your not rushing it but taking your time and pacing it out. Keep it up dude. Can't wait for the next release to see what you done next. @ QJ - sort it out guys, I wondered why nothing was different with the first one I downloaded last night.

As Expected..

More and more future development on this one. let's support this one. Keep them comin'..
by - 2006-12-13 14:26:51
nice!

this game is freakin awesome. very smooth I love it. rock on!
by - 2006-12-13 18:44:25
Now who isn't being constructive?

If you read my post, you'd see that I WANT to play nice music during the game, but the *****ty and way-too-loud sound effects are ruining it. Read better.
