Awesome game

Is there a tip to keep the save ? 
When I wait a few hours, I loose my save (iphone, safari, connected with an account on itch.io).

Maybe some codes than allow you to jump to a level, like the good old days ?

Sorry about that, progress should automatically be saved. Some browser options might be preventing it from being saved, but I’m not sure what they would be.

However, there is a secret way to unlock all the levels. you should be able to find a hint on the itchio page.

Thank you for this great game :)

It feels like level E just impossible. The snake-bird just lacks one of the seven body parts to get to the last fruit.

I love the game. Heads up though: there’s a strange bug where the snakeburd just drops with the gravity automatically disregarding the snakeburd shape movement and fruits as a platform mechanic. It starts off with a repetitive movement sound, then gravity kicks in. Like I have encountered it twice with refresh

temporary fix I found: pause the game then unpause

I'm not quite understanding what's going on. I haven't noticed any issues with the movement for a while. Could you send a screenshot/recording/gif of what's happening?

Actually, it sounds like your keyboard, or other input device (or pico8 itself?), is sending that it is being pressed twice. Since there's queued movement, your single input might sometimes be counted twice.

in level a, all i see is a letter a. i pressed every key but idk what to do! someone help me I'm so stuck

I meant, how do you select the level? 

click x on keyboard

stuck on g  :/

The fruit on the left is the first one to be eaten, which requires a specific movement.  This will be similarly required for the second fruit

Hint: on first fruit, bottom snake faces right

I don’t believe in giving out the solution to a puzzle, only giving hints that make it easier but still allow you to say you solved it yourself. If you think a hint doesn’t help enough, reply and I will try to improve it.

Intro
A check the controls below the game
B no hint needed
C save the apple to stand on
D x/v to swap control, eat both with the same snake
E save the grapes to stand on
F don't get the block stuck against the right wall
G this level showcases "reverse parking" multiple times
H save the apple to stand on
I move down while the block is on your head to get under it
J eat all with the same snake, using the same trick in different orientations
K eat banana first, pear can't be eaten from the bottom platform
Snow
1 to eat the banana you must have eaten just the pear and 1 orange
2 eat the banana in a way that leaves that snake extractable
3 eat with yellow, reverse yellow to the right
4 to get red on green on the left platform, set up exactly what you did on the right platform
5 eat with red, then get the block hanging off the left edge
6 eat with yellow, ratchet up
7 you can push the elevator up into your retracting tail to change green's shape inside
8 turning blue around by supporting with green off the right edge won't work
9 eat the grapes from left
10 no hint needed
11 eat apple first
12 leftmost fruit is eaten with red, 3rd-from-left fruit is eaten with green
13 clear out the fruit in the rightmost 3 and leftmost 3 columns early, besides the 4 you will get on the way out
14 set up under one side of the block, then push across to the other side (or there is an alternate solution)
Upper Jungle
15 no hint needed
16 eat leftmost first
17 eat bottom-left second
18 save a bottom corner and bottom center for last
19 eat candy last
20 eat and fall in same move, but don't fall again the very next move
21 save 2nd or 4th for last
22 eat top-right first
23 eat top-right with blue first, bottom-right last
24 no left-moves are needed until after you eat the candy
Lower Jungle
25 in case you missed it in 22, reaching length-1 does something useful
26 no hint needed
27 no hint needed
28 you can't save the box after blue exits
29 jump
30 no hint needed
31 eat apple first, gain 1 height with each other fruit
32 get all under the wall keeping 2 empty rows between the bird and lower spikes
33 you can elevate with the bird on top or bottom of the snake
34 jump
35 eat all with green going counterclockwise
Sunset
36 each snake eats one on left, then one on right
37 pear, banana, orange, apple
38 no hint needed
39 turn around while standing on the fruit
40 eat both with blue
41 to get a lower block over, you might need to lift the block that is on top of it up
42 wrap around one side while dropping the tail off the other
43 4 and 3 is enough to wrap around a spike
44 recall level I
45 get under the block by going down 2 with right prong on you, or down 3 with left prong on you, 4 times
46 LURU shape needed to get in second pocket, but when could you have gotten the other bird in position?
47 for getting block off the spike, 4+1 and 2 is enough to wrap around a spike. for exit, use rightmost column
48 push the block while your tail is on it
49 push the block while its on your tail
50 stand on the fruit and reposition the other two so you can recover from eating it
Cloud+
*1 this is just a tutorial showing you can push into the side of your tail
*2 set up the shape of purple in the middle, then push it off with yellow
*3 eat with 3 on 4 on 3, exit with 2 on 3 on 4
*4 you will need to move sideways with red to get into the right position
*5 to get red back to the left it will be in a P shape, and to get back to the right it will be in a shape with the same outline rotated 180 (or there is an alternate solution)
Void
W you need the space between the spikes to turn around
X save the second-highest fruit for last
Y find both ways to gain height in *4, then you will need to find 2 more tricks to turn around inside the rooms and get an UUR hook in the right place
Z tail hook again
? input the shortest solution without undoing. this unlocks a bonus variation of 7, 24, 35, 48, *2 which I will not give hints for

Thanks for the hints. How do you do the drop down on your post though?

Thx. That is super helpful!

nevermind

For J, I cant figure out how to get the first fruit, any tips?

can i get another hint for 7?

This game has so much polish that it's hard to believe it's "just a PICO-8 game."

(+1)(-2)

You need to publish a full walkthrough. I’ve already hit a level that’s driving me insane.

And I won’t tell you which level it is, because just like everyone I’ve ever met, you will only just give me a hint for the one singular level that I mention, and never publish a walkthrough.

So, PUBLISH THAT WALKTHROUGH!

(+3)(-2)

One of the great thing about the level selection menu of the Snakebird games, is that usually multiple levels unlock and once. So if you're stuck on one level, you can try one of the other ones and come back to it later. Unless you're stuck on Level A, in which the order of the fruits you want to take, is the middle one, the left one, then the right one. :)

I'm actually wanting to avoid posting the walkthrough myself, as I think it would be nicer if other players got the chance to do that themselves. Besides, I wouldn't want to ruin the experience of solving all the levels for the players.

what if I already finished all of the level I can finish also how does the big bird work

(+1)

have some patience and try the remaining ones again. maybe take a break and come back to them with a fresh perspective. ill try making a list of hints but it will take some time, since there are a lot of levels to cover.

This game looks awesome and feels great as well. The puzzles are cool, well developed game overall!

(+1)

I love this game, super simple and interesting gameplay! It feels very polished and complete. The art, sound and music all work really well!

Also, I love the effort you put into the game page! I don’t think I have ever seen a better game page on itch.io.

Please give me a hint for level E. I feel like an idiot but I can’t figure out how to get the pear :C

Thank you!

Hint The pear should be the second fruit you eat.
