I really like the idea! Trying to manage both snakes at once is challenging, but the trucks move slow enough that it never felt frustrating or unfair. The power-ups are a nice way to shake things up as well, although they never really changed the way I played. The fading effect on the trucks when you switch snakes is a really nice touch that helps a lot with keeping track of what is where, and I think the game would be much more frustrating to play without it. The game is pretty simple, but the concept is executed effectively and makes for a fun experience. I think the game has the potential to be really interesting if you added things like new obstacles or more game-changing powerups. Great work!

Really great job, this game is like rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time!
Adding different powerups was a great idea! Is there a mice buffet in the end as a reward? :D
My main issue with this is that the choices made for the up/down controls are really bad. I saw a comment in here that says you can use more traditional controls in fullscreen, but 1 Why isn't that info listed more clearly in the description? and 2 Even if the traditional arrow keys couldn't be used due to page scroll issues, the alternate keys chosen to move the snakes just don't seem like the best choice.
This was a great concept. Once I got used to swapping to figure out where the trucks were it was super fun, I love having to memorise where loads of things are on screen at once. The only thing I would say is to remap the key for changing snake further right on the keyboard, then it would be easier to play with two hands (at least for those of us with chunky fingers).
Neat concept! Took a second to realize I want to avoid the same color trucks. Good job!
