Turn based snake... never seen that before :-)

The controls do take some getting used to and if the battery is far away from the snake it can take some time of just falling down the green strip to advance...

Thanks for your feedback!

Very clever concept where you shift both space and time to advance the play.

I encountered a couple of glithes. Both the robot and the snake went through walls at some point. Parts of the snake started disappearing after that. I needed to restart.

The controls have a bit of a learning curve to them and take some time to get used to. But after that it's a neat sandboxy experience.

Yes, there are some glitches that need be fixed. I did not have time to polish it unfortunately, but it looks like you get the intention ;) Thank you for the feedback!

Pretty unique and interesting concept, thank you for that! It's really fun to fall through the frames to move the snake. Personally, I find the robot controls a bit too complicated. Also, overwriting the batteries with an arrow should not be allowed. Overall it's a good start, keep on improving it!

Glad you liked it. There some actions that shouldn't be allowed indeed. Thanks for the feedback!

Very original (at least as far as I know). Love the game.
