Some feedback:
I tried to use arrow keys in the menu but they didn't work and when I saw "tap to start" I assumed that you must control the snake with the mouse.

Then it took me a while to realize that the snake turns towards the pointer. Was thinking that it just always does a 90 degree turn on click...

Otherwise it is a nice twist on the snake game. Gets pretty hard with the red stuff, but thats cool.

So about the controls. I would make it possible to navigate the menus with keys and then the instruction could be "Tap OR use wasd/arrow keys to start"

Oh and exit on web games just freezes the whole thing :D

Anyways, nice job with the game!

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

320 on my first try. Great spin on the original, so simplistic, yet it adds a whole new dimension to the game

Thank you very much!

380, very fun but the crt screen effect gave me a slight headache and i only just now saw the setting to remove it. that's my fault though, all in all 8/10. the only thing lacking is content but that is normal for a game about snake.

Thank you for the feedback! I'll make sure to clarify on the game's page that the option to turn off the effect is available in the settings.
