The 2-button control scheme doesn't translate well to Snake. The drawings are cute. Congrats on finishing a game!

At first I thought this was just a normal game of snake. (Did I download the wrong version or something?)

But then I hit the green block and realized how much more there was: a really cool combination of a ton of games from my childhood.

The controls were a bit difficult to get used to, but overall, this was a really fun game.

Wow! So interesting. At first, i thought it was weird Snake, but suddenly it turned into another game.
We call it a "Brain Hole" game in Chinese.
I like the wanted level in the third level/stage?
Would love to see more stages!

On Windows 10, it asked me to download something before I played it. I hit no and was still able to play.

Breaks the fundamental runs of snake :(

Very impressive, I wasn't expecting the game to evolve as I played it! Starts out as a very basic game of snake, and then... very interesting.

Great audio and visuals.

I agree, two button controls don't really go well with Snake. Fun game though! Not dying immediately upon hitting something was a refreshing change. I played to a point where the map started disintegrating from the left.

I liked this one a fair bit. The controls are hard at first, but you get used to them. There didn't seem to be much challenge though, even running into your own tail doesn't hurt you or end the game (also, after going for a while, the GUI continued on but the level stopped scrolling... I don't know what happened there)

Very nice overall, I expected a basic snake, but the twist to it is nice.

Not much of an innovation, but extremely fun nevertheless!
Great Audio!

Simple implementation of a classic theme. I feel it lacks some kind of ersonality maybe. I also found first area controls to be very disorientating.
Finished it though.

Well, that escalated quickly! Really nice spin on old classic. Frankly, I was silently hoping for fourth stage, where you would devour entire galaxies. Oh, well.

Really nice game. Controls were unusual but easy to learn and I think it was really fun and very crazy.

Rating tells me to rate audio but I didn't hear any audio? (Linux, wine)

EASILY one of my favorite entries. Very rarely do I play through an entire LD game, and this is one of them. At first I thought it was just a shitty snake clone. Then I was like "okay.. scrolling snake?" But then.. I realized where it was going and I was all like "Man OP you better deliver. You better fucking send the military after me." I was not disappointed. My favorite part was eating the law enforcement officers. My second favorite part was boosting a car and eating the passengers.

After the initial few seconds it went places I didn't expect. A fun way to take something classic and expand on it.

At first I was 'meh' ...

When the screen started scrolling I was 'well okay'.

But when the GTA police rampage chimed in I was *sold*.

That was quite an epic fun blend.

Very clever, very fun! I never thought I'd see a snake game with a GTA wanted level meter!

2 buttons was not the easiest way of controlling the snake, but I really enjoyed the game :) Enemy shooting at you feels a bit weird though, as you can't do anything to dodge.
