I like the controls with two keys (instead of a four-arrows for the four directions control).

Very nice!

I really like the look! Annoying was that pressing D repeatedly would through me out of the game and into the options.

It's missing squeaky sounds ;)

This is cute. The colours you've chosen work very well together. Definitely feels 'old school. Well done :)

The game looks nice and the idea is cool, but I have a lot of trouble to control the snake with those 2 keys (I'm not good with rotations tho :D). Also the 3rd level should give you a little more time to react. But cool job :)

I liked the snake animation. It was a bit to hard to catch the food pieces. No Sounds :(

Pro: I like that the goals are different in each level.
Con: No checkpoints?! Also waiting 10 entire seconds on the tutorial levels gets old the second or third time.

Nop it is not about winning and prizes cause... there are no prizes :P Now about your game.. I really like it. I find it bit hard to master controls, but the concept is catchy.

Waiting ten useless seconds for the tutorial level to end was a drag. The control scheme was a bit fiddly, but ok anyways. Great retro feels, though.

Well level design was kinda half-done because I needed to sleep, and I completely agree with those of you saying that the tutorial level is pretty boring in comparison with the rest of the game, I might change it later.

Nice idea, waiting 10 seconds for each level is very slow would be fun with some other winning condition.
