“The visuals are charming and the mechanics are intuitive; I can't wait to try out the main game!”
“Snakebird Primer is a charming little puzzle game that utilizes snake-like mechanics to obtain the fruit and reach the exit portal.”
“Although the puzzles are pretty easy, the large variety of mechanics keeps things interesting and enjoyable throughout.”
“Less than an hour of gameplay for 100% clear is just too short even for the discounted price.”
“Every level is indeed set at 'tutorial' level, rarely mixing more than one mechanic at once, and even then rarely using it in more than one way or for more than a single task.”
“My one problem and hesitation with it originally was the difficulty of the puzzles to start with: it was a wall, without much ramp up or levels teaching some of the more complex, less obvious strategies and capabilities that derive from the mechanics.”
