Sorry, I said I would post in the other thread, but this is just to exciting.

Ok, that's the link... and..

Those are the screenshots!

Like I said in the downloads page on my site.. Any constructive comments/criticism will be met with 75% glee. Or a 75% chance there of. (The other 25% can be accounted for by paranoia)

This is the first version, so it's not final.. There is a feature or two and a detial or two left out, but soon enough.. soon enough..

You know, I had a perfect game up until Level X. Bastard :D

Very fun, great for killing time, and great graphic work! I must say this is the most enjoyable snake game I've played in a long time. Fun 'music'... Simple and addicting. Couldn't find anything wrong with it either... maybe I'm not being critical enough, but hey, why should I be? ((... I mean, it's not my game.. ))...err, hah, jk. Great work! My only little suggestion may be that slight overlap '3D' effect kind of throws you off a bit when you're starting out.

Ah, the nostalgia. Runs great here.

I'm not sure if I should comment, because I know my comments how OpenGL programs crawl on my PC annoy some people....for some reason.

But yeah, completely unplayable on my PC (Pentium III 866 Mhz - which is completely irrelevant and ATI 3D Rage Pro). Which is nice. I can run Quake, but...I can't run a simple nibbles game.

Anyway, can't comment the game much. Except that the gfx is rather basic and the gameplay...seems that way too. Any additions to the classic nibbles gameplay?

I only get 4-5fps for some reason :S

C'mon... Why do so many computers handle such simple opengl rendering like crap? This is ridiculous. Just when you think you're safe..

But yeah, I spent 12 hours on this.. I just tried to remake nibbles, and add a little pizzaz.. If it's too slow, or you don't like it, ah well. I'm pleased with myself, anyway.

The animations outside of the game look good, and the snake reminds me of the progress bar while streaming music. :-)
BTW, my seven-year-old brother got to level 5 in his first game. ;-)

Hmm...I missed the point that this supposed to be a FB version of QB Nibbles. My mistake.

Still, I wish you coded an alternative FBGFX version.

Anyway, lemme know when you have a version ready to be rated for FBGD.

Final version comming along?

Yeah, I'm doing some work-homework at the moment, I just have one more feature to implement in FB Nibbles.. P.S. Sorry, but it would take too much time too make a non-OGL version.

NP.

I'm just asking because of a FBGD update I'm preparing for the next weekend.
