A fun game that fits the theme well! I was not ready for the speed to pick up like that.

How does the game fit the theme?
In 2 ways:
1- I had a very limited time (about 7-8hours) to finish the game, and I thought "nothing can go wrong and I can easily finish the game right?"
2- Snail collects/eats thing on the path and surelly nothing can go wrong
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I made everything on my own

You are totally right! At the time of the jam, this did not struck me for some reason, in post jam version there will be a banana peel for sure.
Anyway thanks a lot for playing the game, and huge thanks for feedback!!

skull was there as an opposite of the apple - simple hp gain/loose... the truth is that instead of skull I could use some fruit as well. In fact originally I had heart instead of an apple before, and changed it just before release... thanks for playing and feedback!

I myself don't like when games don't match the thumbnail, but there was no other way here, as I already had the thumbnail before the game was done, and I had no time to change it later :/ apologies for the bait
It can get very fast especially if you eat these delicious carrots :D
When I was thinking about the difficulty balance, I was considering few options, but at the end I am not sure if you'd have time to register the warnings in higher speeds? The best I could do was to make bigger the "field of vision(the area in front of the snail)" as originally that was really small. The next adjustment could be to move the snail completelly to the left side of the screen.
Here you can see a first prototype, where the reaction times were a killer by itself :)
