Super fun game! Crazy impressive work for only two days, it's a nicely polished experience. I like the twist on snake and it's pretty engaging to play and try to beat your highscore, I think a leaderboard would've been great for this. I was just watching the gif of you playing the game and I didn't realize eating your own tail filled up the life bar, so I think maybe some more tutorializing could help a bit.. I'll have to go back and see how I do with this new knowledge. Overall really solid entry, great work

thanks for playing! I would have loved to do a leaderboard, but alas.
I just checked out your VOD, it was very interesting to see how you played — that you avoided biting yourself, which is the main twist of the game (y’know, like the ouroboros). that’s my bad for not explaining things at all.
a couple of tips in case you do try again:
- longer = hungrier, so bite off your tail to slow things down.
- biting yourself creates a white circle that destroys red spikes.
I wanted the game to be a bit mysterious to encourage experimentation, but I realize it ended up being way too obscure, and I think most players miss out on the main gimmick of circling red spikes to score big combos.
I appreciate the feedback! do let me know if end up trying again :)
