Great game! Slightly frustrating controls, but worth it for that ending.

100% agree. I've had games where it spirals out of control and becomes unplayable (like literally crashes, not figuratively, it cannot be played). Call it high risk high reward?
Most of the time I'd say "you know what you're getting into" when you pick it, but there are a couple that just give you a small number of random other abilities, and if you roll the "ability every egg" you've screwed yourself over, but through no fault of your own (kinda).
The ability system (and, let's be honest, the entire game) is more of a proof of concept than anything else. My biggest regret is how little it actually affects the core game of Snake. If you pick the right abilities, you're pretty much just playing regular Snake with nothing else. If I were to return to this game, every ability would be as fundamentally game changing as that one (though probably much less random and chaotic). The fact that it feels like you're playing a different (more gambly game) when you get an ability every egg is a feature, not a bug.
Of course, you're right that it should only pick from a smaller set of other abilities (and definitely not itself), but I like that it's unpredictable. I still want it to sometimes screw you over. If it was only good all the time, it undermines the point that it's random and you picked it.
The mouse movement was slow to add to the atmosphere, though we may have swung too hard on that.
That's a good point about pressing E helping players know that things can be interacted with. The reason we didn't was to make sure players only knew to press E when prompted. Could have been clearer for sure though. Thanks for playing!
If you click to see the walk through and then click on step 1, step 2, etc in the description you can get a full step by step guide to complete the game.
That's the same as the walkthrough you wrote right? Did you miss that you can click into each step?
I'm sorry that you felt lost (that's why we included the guide, but kept it external in case you wanted to explore for yourself). It seems you may have had some graphical troubles, that glow is not supposed to be there. I hope it didn't ruin your experience too much and you still had fun!
Let us know if you have any other questions or difficulties!
