A very pretty and elegant take on the old classic Snake. I really appreciate that the player's tree isn't just a single trunk extending out to pick up more pellets. The little branches growing out off the side really contributed a great deal to the aesthetic here."},{"author_name":"thebrickanator","author_uid":"50329","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 3:43am","epoch":1450064280,"text":"I loved it! :P the tree grows very naturally...
