I like the mechanics and it feels nice to be trying to escape from beneath the surface.
It's very cute when you do make it to the top to see the flower bloom.

I love it! A creative take on the theme, awesome music and sound effects, and a nice addicting mini-game feel to it.

Interesting twist on the classic snake game. Some of those money bags were devilishly hard to get, and I died on the last level twice. Overall it's a solid entry.

This game is so much fun! It takes me back to playing snake on my first nokia =) music is cool too. and difficulty level is perfect, not so hard it gets annoying, yet hard enough that I want to try again. good job!

It's a nice idea, and it's pretty fun for a minute or so. But the bags of money are really out of place... I'm not sure if that was supposed to be funny or what but it would make more sense if you were collecting something that plants need, like pockets of water or nutrients. It could also use more of a challenge, like if whatever resource you're collecting is used up over time so you have to balance following an efficient route to the surface vs going out of your way to collect more nutrients/water.

My final score was 570
(I found myself forgetting about money and preoccupied solely with survival by stage 5)

I think it's a great idea. I liked the flower bloom aspect and the music is pretty solid as well. I think it's a really cool/different take on Snake, so well done there, too.

My only complaint would be to figure out something other than money. It's a little weird that a flower is collecting money to grow. I'm not sure why that's happening and not water or something more normal. Just a thought, but the game is a lot of fun. Well done!

Thanks for sharing and thank you again for playing and rating my game! :)
