As you’ve probably noticed, we’re experimenting with personalized snakes, specifically color selection for now. Opinions about snake colors have been mixed. We’re planning to make it possible to disable enemy colors for those who don’t like the feature. Thanks to your feedback we think we’re aware of most of the major areas of improvement in the game. Watch for more changes over the next few weeks.

A idea i had: Make the head of the snake a face just your logo.

I see the downside to the colored snakes, but the upside outweighs it. Good job.

better would be to have automatic colors based on ranking.
first place is one color. top ten is another color. or a gradient.
currently, the colors don’t communicate any information except “i like orange”, which doesn’t help me play the game.

Good Idea. Multisnake is one of the best flash game in the net.
It remembers me the old snake that was included in qbasic in the old dos.
I’m waiting for a ranking system that remains.

Nice game, is it open source?
What about doing J2ME/bluetooth clone?
Btw, I can’t connect via proxy (neither http nor socks), is it some bug?
Thanks for the game anyway!

I don’t like the 1 minute play time… there’s not enough time to establish your score
BettoMan said
I’m thinking the same as Ellen. 1 Minute is not good. In 1 minute the snake doesn’t became long enough.

I think there should be Different Servers and lobbies. And a way to make private matches with our friends. Just a thought.

Is there a way to speed up the game to remove the occasional ‘pauses’ on slower computers? This is unplayable for some people.
Also, there could be a mode in which there are no walls, and the map wraps around. In this mode, the only obstacles would be other snakes.

It is lagging very much. It can’t be played.

Hey I think most of the time when I play, I’m playing against bots, not real people. I think you’ve got 8 bots in there. When I’ve played with more than 8, I can see snakes acting like humans. But when there is just me and 8 snakes, the 8 snakes behave like bots, and get rubbish scores too. Can you confirm?
Steve said
Ah, just confirmed that I HAVE been playing against bots – I googled “multisnake” and “bots” and found this: http://www.nobodylikesonions.com/forums/showthread.php?p=182840 I thought it was strange the other players were only getting 20 or 30 and I was getting 150.
Well, I think you need to show this somehow, because if people come to multisnake.com they’re natural assumption is they’re playing against real people.

NOBODY PLAY THIS GAME, BECAUSE MOST OF THE “PEOPLE” ARE BOTS!!!

I don’t know does anybody had this idea already, that there should be more colors to choose from, then the players are different and you can who is who.
NLOcoco said
I’m glad you found my post on NLO. it makes sense for them to have bots if the site isn’t very popular yet, but I suggested that they get rid of them if enough people were playing. It would be nice to have a tally of how many humans were playing too.
Hey. Whatever. The Devs are college students that made it for fun and for free; if they get around to implementing much needed improvements, great!

OMG NO ONE PLAY DIS GAME IT HAS BOTS OMG OMG OMG!
just wen i was liking dis game…
mikexstudios said
Hi Steve and NLOcoco,
Thanks for your suggestions on being upfront about the bots. We recently made the change to make the bot names really explicit (ie. Bot1, Bot2, etc.).
I’d just like to add here that we’ve tested Multisnake to scale to hundreds of players. However, we don’t really market the game so we haven’t been able to get many players to play at the same time. Our server logs show that a lot of people visit the game throughout the day, but I guess the visits don’t overlap too much.
