Clever game! Thanks to dumb luck and just dumb I had to die twice on the snake stage before realized I was supposed to play as the snake and not the apples. I started trying to mash keys to move the apple and somehow unintentionally lined the snake up with the apple. The apple was right against a wall so the game over screen appeared. "Well I'm definitely supposed to control the apple", I wrongly thought. Not your fault, but maybe the first apple should be placed immediately in front of the snake to idiot proof it. I still enjoyed the game!
