snekburd [browser]

Snekburd by Werxzy is a Pico-8 demake of the puzzle game Snakebird by Noumenon Games with new puzzles and mechanics. Navigate the snakebirds to eat all the fruit and head through the portal to complete the levels on each island.

This game is nice, but after the first island levels became really hard (for me). So this will be a "one level a day" type of game for me. :-)

When are the walkthroughs coming along?

I loved snakebird. This is a nice batch of additional levels. Yeah, it gets hard fast - I think having played Snakebird helps a lot.

I've been stuck on 35 for over a week– anybody have a solution?

I wish. I'm still on the first island trying to figure out 7, 9, 11, and 14.

Let me know if you’d like additional hints for those

Definitely. I saw the hints on the game's page but they're pretty vague.

Ok, I'm going to go by memory which will help keep these mostly spoiler free:

7 - as the game page hint says, you do use the blue to push up while inside the elevator to change green's shape to fit while it's partly in the elevator. An additional hint is that in the end you will free green by pushing with blue

9 - position the blue on the right ledge; you will need it after you have eaten grape with red and need to navigate off the upper-right ledge. You do not eat the grape from the "left" exactly, but by approaching its ledge from the left

11 - this one just takes some fiddling; to eat the apple, you need to position one on top of the apple so the other can move a little bit to the right to catch, not forgetting that big snekburds occupy two spaces (so one for apple, one to be caught by the other)

14 - this one is quite tricky. After you've eaten the two fruits with green, you need to negotiate blue and green so that you have pushed blue on top of the platform with green still holding the "cage" on one side

Hope these help so you can help me with 35!

I really like this game except for one thing: It doesn´t remember my progress. It´s not possible to play through the whole thing in one sitting.

35 - After eating the fruit, the snake needs to move the elevator block to allow the bird to make it back down to the bottom level.

Thank you this hint– does the elevator block need to be pushed down or up? After eating the fruit, the snake is too long to allow the bird to escape from the top floor, and I can't find a configuration that lets the snake push the elevator from the bottom unassisted.

The elevator block moves down, then back up, then down again.

Ah thank you! I basically had it but forgot a key part about maneuvering the bird at the end. Let me know if you would like additional hints for the levels you mentioned– 35 was my last one to solve before the cloud levels

Any or all of them.
