just put the text i showed there but not in a code block (idk why everyone is copying the code block, that is just used to show you what code makes the dropdown)
yeah some other people have had trouble with that in a bad way. ive told werxzy to make an edit to that level to reduce frustration back on may 8th but he hasnt responded, probably busy with something.
the proposed edit isadd a wall 3 left and 1 down of the exit, to make it more obvious some wrong ideas will never work
dont put it in a code block, put the thing you want hidden where “content” is.
i meant for you to explain where you are mentally, like what do you think needs to happen but you cant get to happen. but based on your screenshot i can say this much:
spoilerpush red up by just 1 and get back on top, then repeat, rather than going up 2 in a row
This fruit has been giving me trouble, this is the only solution I know that can grab it and get the Burd unstuck, but it's incorrect because both Burds need to be the same size to escape.
I am so proud of myself for getting level 3 in the snow area, i love how you can break all known laws of physics and just move the other bird by pushing it while on top of it
Progress should get saved automatically. If everything was lost, it might be because your browser settings are blocking it.
Though if it’s just a single level there’s a slightly different case. Progress for a single level is updated when you see the fireworks on the level select screen. (It was just easier to have the animation and the solve progress happen at the same time.)
I have been stuck on J, i, and 1 for 1 week now. every movement brings me great pain. I have lost all sanity and sense of self. please help me. I am trapped in the developers basement. please... my coordinates are-
is there something I am missing? I keep seeing people say to "make an inverted L". What in gods name does that mean, and how are you supposed to do that without getting the grapes?
Solution for Intro JFruit order is Bananas, Grapes, Orange. Use only one snake to grab all three.
Think of it like this: One snake is your pusher, the other snake is your eater.
Bananas requires you to use your pusher snake as a flat platform in the corner. The goal is to make your eater snake move in a way that creates an L shape while it moves into the bananas crevice. You will have 3 segments in a single row, and 1 segment sticking out vertically. This is the handle you need to allow your puller snake to move underneath, and then yank the eater snake out of that crevice.
Grapes is where I got stuck forever before I went around raging for hints like an alcoholic stepfather. Turns out it’s simple. You move your eater snake in an intentional way to create another 1 segment handle. This time, the handle must stick out upwards. Your puller snake can just barely climb over, and then push the eater snake while it’s riding on top of it. Yes, this is Looney Tunes logic, but it works.
Orange nearly stumped me if I hadn’t accidentally figured it out. I knew what the theme of the level was, so I just had to find out if the puller needed to be on the top or on the bottom - turns out, he goes on the bottom.
Get the puller up on the cliff, and lay him over the left edge in an L shape. He should have his tail sticking over the left edge. Move the eater snake from atop the puller’s head, to directly into the orange. The eater’s tail should still be on top of the puller. Now get your puller snake to push the eater’s tail all the way up, and this will bring the eater’s head level with the cliff. Just move him onto land, and the level is complete.
Absolutely fantastic. I'm not far in yet but as a big fan of the original Snakebird, this not only hits the same great notes but has some great difficulty and solutions too, something Primer was sorely lacking. Thank you for making this!
The bird can lift the object by making an inverted L shape and holding it up with its tail. This allows the bird to pass underneath without the structure collapsing
This is an abolute mastercraft in its dificulty range and the coding needed to make this in pico 8 is just as impressive. Charming artstyle is just a bonus like wow
It could be some keyboard layouts are different in a way that the standard zxcv inputs, from the qwertry keyboard, don’t work. I don’t have a good fix for this unfortunately.
it says right in the title and all over the page that its a demake of snakebird, of course you have seen it before? though this game has several new mechanics and is more like a sequel
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.
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
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.

lv 17-22 were quite fun, but imo there should be a direct reset button, either x or v instead of it being swap
update: the entire candy arrow section is pretty fun
I am not understanding the movement required to push the bird up
in Cloud level 4.Pls help.
What's the solution to 17? I've been stuck on this level for hours and cannot fathom how the bottom-left candy can ever be obtained

Eat Center Bottom one 1st
Wrapping yourself around center platform going counter clockwise
Set yourself in this position then

Left > Left > Up > Right > Right > Up > Right
holy shit that's clever, much love
please wrap spoilers in a dropdown so people don’t see them by accident. use this markup code, but TAKE IT OUT OF THE CODE BLOCK:
the above code produces:
Title
Inner contentIt broke post formatting
How do i put stuff inside it?
Ok i found better way to do it
sorry for reply but how do you do that? i can't seem to do it
just put the text i showed there but not in a code block (idk why everyone is copying the code block, that is just used to show you what code makes the dropdown)
I almost finished the game, I just can't beat 47.
This puzzle is ruining my life
I was happy before, now I'm just in constant pain
I though I was done after getting the box off the spiks, but no, I'm stuck here forever
yeah some other people have had trouble with that in a bad way. ive told werxzy to make an edit to that level to reduce frustration back on may 8th but he hasnt responded, probably busy with something.
the proposed edit is
add a wall 3 left and 1 down of the exit, to make it more obvious some wrong ideas will never workI havent even started the game yet, but I have to say this web page is incredible <3
Is there a way to export/import progress from the browser version to another computer?
Also, this is just an amazing version of the snakebird game mechanics, hardly a 'de-make' imo, and very very good puzzles!
can i get another hint for 4,5 in cloud?
idk what part of the solutions u need help with, explain where you are. put it in a spoiler like this https://itch.io/post/12746436

push red up by just 1 and get back on top, then repeat, rather than going up 2 in a rowHow to beat this in level 40?![]()
Images don't appear wtf?
there are hints?!
added a nested hint that explains the first hint https://itch.io/post/12746349
thanks
This fruit has been giving me trouble, this is the only solution I know that can grab it and get the Burd unstuck, but it's incorrect because both Burds need to be the same size to escape.
I was having the same problem, and I figured the same as you. but cannot beat the level.
your analysis about ending lengths is correct, and you are in a winnable state still
Got it! Thank you for the hint
How do I even beat level I...
I figured it out
I am so proud of myself for getting level 3 in the snow area, i love how you can break all known laws of physics and just move the other bird by pushing it while on top of it
how to do level H i cant figure it out
how do i do level j I cant watch YouTube tutorials bc my school wifi blocked it
nvm I got it
what did you do?
eee its kinda hard to explain js read the comments or watch a video
how do I get the green bird in
I have a full first Island playthrough linked a little lower if you are interested
do the same thing you did with the fruit and push the green bird with the body facing the sea and face facing the exit
does progress get saved? because i got mine reset but maybe that was a fluke or i did something wrong
Progress should get saved automatically. If everything was lost, it might be because your browser settings are blocking it.

Amazing game from the puzzle master of PICO-8! Recently started a playthrough for on Twitch/YouTube for anyone interested on the first island!
Graphically and mechanically the game is amazing, smooth and polished to the maximum. Puzzles feel layered and very well designed!
the best pico8 game! but sometimes it's so hard
I have been stuck on J, i, and 1 for 1 week now. every movement brings me great pain. I have lost all sanity and sense of self. please help me. I am trapped in the developers basement. please... my coordinates are-
For I, an inverted L on the middle platform can let you go under the T.
For J I can’t help you, i am in the same trap than you
did you check the hints in the comments below? and please people put your hints in spoilers https://itch.io/post/12746436
yes. I did check the hints. I even left a comment.
is there something I am missing? I keep seeing people say to "make an inverted L". What in gods name does that mean, and how are you supposed to do that without getting the grapes?
J was very tricky, but I eventually got it.
Solution for Intro J

Bananas requires you to use your pusher snake as a flat platform in the corner. The goal is to make your eater snake move in a way that creates an L shape while it moves into the bananas crevice.

How do you get the orange I cant figure it out
playthrough?
how do you beat level d
you get the fruit on the right first

i'm stuck here heelp
Same !
Me too ):
The bird can lift the object by making an inverted L shape and holding it up with its tail. This allows the bird to pass underneath without the structure collapsing
i don't get it. isn't the snake too short for that.
It’s something like that, sorry for the spoiler.

omg i was stuck twice, and only got the solution after watching the video above. thanks for this though
im stuck on level g I've gotten both fruits but cant get them both into the portal help?
you need to push the snake while it's facing the island with another snake
Great demake, great Pico-8 game, I had to buy this. Thank you!
you need to push the snake while it's facing the island with another snake
It's truuuue!! I'm so stupid!! It's so obvious now that you say it! Ugh, I can't believe I didn't realize it lolol
This is an abolute mastercraft in its dificulty range and the coding needed to make this in pico 8 is just as impressive. Charming artstyle is just a bonus like wow
getting into an actual level is the first puzzle
It could be some keyboard layouts are different in a way that the standard zxcv inputs, from the qwertry keyboard, don’t work. I don’t have a good fix for this unfortunately.
Difficult is umbalanced by the way.
the difficulty is the best part? if ur bad than just say so
Nice gimmick... But I think ive see it before. 7/10
it says right in the title and all over the page that its a demake of snakebird, of course you have seen it before? though this game has several new mechanics and is more like a sequel
fr this guy sucks
Oh dear, I didn't read anything.
Amazing game!!
can some one please tell me how to do j I'm stuck and can only get the banana and the hint didn't help please and thank you.
same I just want the grapeee and the other comment says they cant be the same size so i'm very confused I feel like i've tried everything.
i added a second hint for J though the first one should be sufficient if you actually read it https://itch.io/post/12746349
How to solve D...
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 ?

you should be able to find a hint on the itchio page.how
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
how
yeah, how I've tried everything
Hint: on first fruit, bottom snake faces right
I also don't get it
