It's a good game, i liked this interpretation of the snake game, everything worked well. I would like more game modes, and making the game scarier would also be nice. But overall, i liked it.

Developer

Damn, this is a really unique idea. Looking at such an old game from a different angle is really refreshing. I loved it, well done! At one point I thought it was going to explode :D

It's like Snake but with a creepy twist. This is why overeating is bad, folks.

A fun game, not too scary, but still a lot of fun. The various benefits of eating meals is a great idea. It reminded me of playing Snake on my Nokia 3310.
