Thanks for playing! =)

Snake doesn't die when it's turning into self, it's more a feature then a bug. There are several design problems with a snake's abillity to cut itself and it also can make a game too difficult.

Have you tried holding 'S' playing Tetris? This is the only way to speed the block up.

About the score table: excuse us for this, I have just uploaded a patched version. Also, mind that score table isn't global, the game stores it in your browser, so don't hesitate to share your record. =)

[S] does move the blocks faster but any seasoned modern tetris player will want to do what is called a hard drop, instant slam to the floor. Then you have to ask does the path of instant floor slamming collide with the snake or do you permit the snake path uninterrupted. It seems the latter would be the best as a co-op it would be very annoying to have the tetris player quick slamming the snake. Also If I were the snake player I would want a speed boost with a cooldown. so I could press maybe right shift or ctrl or some key and boost out of bad situations if I have not already used it recently.

I am just listing off wish list items now....

Hmm, I didn't think about the importance of hard drop. Maybe in the next release we'll add this feature to the game. And you are not the first person to want a speed boost for Snake. =) The only thing I am worried about is the impact speed boost will have on the balance of the game. Although, I suppose it worth trying. Thank you for suggestions!
