Remember that "definition of insanity" trope?

Hey, a Snakebird game I might actually be capable of beating. Sounds good!

I managed to clear nearly every snakebird level: only 44, *3, *4, *5, and *6 still taunt me with their blueness me to this day. But I feel absolutely no frustration watching this, I have felt that pain! Good God that game gets hard.

Maybe I just missed it, but since there's no longer a deck for the games being played in the new site redesign, it would be helpful if the platforms are said right off the bat. I shouldn't have to go elsewhere on the site to find out where I can buy this.

If you're getting ads you probably have the youtube player up. Switch to the GB player by clicking the button in the bottom-middle named player options and pick the GB player.

You're probably using the YouTube player. Switch to the GB player. Learn to use the website/internet before freaking out.

@mrnood1e: How do you switch back to the GB player for free videos? It swapped me to youtube at some point and I.. have been having trouble changing it back. I'm not seeing a button anywhere at all. It used to be in the bottom right but all I'm seeing there is youtube settings. I kinda thought they just stopped hosting non-premium videos.

As someone who played a lot of original snakebird (didn't finish everything though) this looks a lot of fun. Watching people play puzzle games is, as always, unbearable. ;)

@delias: Three dots in a circle at the bottom middle of the player is player options.

We bungled the planned release for the 18th on Steam, had to push it to the 23rd but then in a twist of fate we got the thumbs up from Steam today (20th) and hit the release button.
So it´s out now, sorry for the confusion.

Just an fyi for anyone looking at this game, I finished it in less than an hour and a half, probably about a minute a puzzle on average. Compared to the original it is an absolute cakewalk. I was hoping they would pad it out with more levels than the original to give it a comparable value, but I'd really only recommend this game if you are stuck/stumped in the original or just put off and intimidated by it. It's especially frustrating that this is more expensive than the original.

Also, for some reason the steam achievements didn't after completing all the puzzles in a given area.

How did this get a quick look without a wiki page for the game? Guess I'll create one.
