I decided to try make a mobile version of my snake game from the GG WIP section and I'm happy to share it's current state but I feel it's in need of an outside eye so if anyone has an android device and would like to check it out please give me some feedback on if you enjoyed it or what should be improved (and of course any bugs you may find)

Note it obviously isn't finished, there is no sounds yet (to keep file size smaller and because I didn't have time to search for any yet) but they will be added at some point.
Also the snake could use an improvement but I can't draw so if anyone is willing to make an animated png for it then I would be happy to include you in the credits (menu and such is to be added later) but as the game is free (and no ads) I would ask that any submission be free too.

Pretty cool! It took me a couple minutes to realize how the bugs and the frogs were attacking me and sucking my life force away, but it was fun. A great start!

I enjoyed it smallG, simple yet incredibly addictive, I like the idea behind it and wish you all the best with it

i noticed the bird upgrade isn't working correctly so i shall hopefully be able to fix that (it does makes you turn faster but the movement speed(s) don't increase)

i'll update when it's finished.

new update being processed now.
- adjusted the game balance (less enemies, more upgrades) and fixed the upgrades
- added a basic instruction screen with 'touch to start'
- added a game over screen so you can now capture your final scores if you so wish
- added tap to restart from game over screen

Really fun addicting game. Would be way more fun with a scoreboard. Iv never seen you around the AGK boards so heres a link I found useful when implementing the scoreboard into 2 of my apps. https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/210569

Phaelax is a very generous man hosting this for quite some time now.

Played some more of the app, I've got to say its really addictive and always stays fresh, the high scores work well as well, a couple of things though,

1) I've found that after entering my high score I'll replay the game and get a better score only for that to go back up ALONGSIDE the other high score, if the name was asked at the start of the game then that could just update the high score instead of having multiple high scores from the same person

2) a bit less important, a higher resolution background would really make it all pop comfortably.

I honestly do for some insane reason enjoy this app and hope to see it continue to grow.

i like the high scores being listed like that, it's probably only really noticable because there's not many people on there but in theory it's like the old arcade style where you can input any name you like at the end and don't have to be stuck with 1 username... it's always fun trying to write messages in a high score table
i could see about adding a check to compare it with the same name and only update if the score is higher though.

for the texture, yh i just made it smaller to reduce the file size a little bit while i was testing but sure i can update that, it's only a couple mb
