it has a nice level of difficulty but the controls are responsive and feel good, nice work!

It's a cool game and really fits the theme well. I really like the movement mechanics of the fruit, definitely reminds me of those pool table flash games, but instead of trying to sink balls into the pocket, you try to lead the snake through the gate. Nice Job!

Cool concept!

Really cute concept!

I actually LOVED the concept for this game. It stays true to the theme of role reversal. Being the fruit and escaping from the snake is super creative. It definitely seems like you would need just a bit more time to refine the game and make it more user friendly. I found that I wasn't really able ti play the game (i.e., the snake would immediately eat the fruit). I tried following directions to restart, etc. but nothing I did worked.

Thank you! I was trying to go for a minimal info approach so it kind of subverts your expectations with how you control the fruit, but maybe it didn't work out so well hehe. Also because I like when games kind of throw you into the deep end and you have to figure it out
Make sure you're holding the mouse down to charge up fully, and you can also get a little boost if you release it just as it reaches the top. And when you die, you simply respawn as another fruit, so hopefully it should be playable unless it's bugged  :)
