I actually liked it, it was like a harder pseudo version of Snake, but the twists made it interesting and I enjoyed it a lot.

Nice one, is a little harder to play but the concept is really good.

Wow, didn't expect to get testers so quickly after the compo end :) Thank you!
I will soon test your games as well.
If you find any bugs or problems, please report, that would be super nice!

Nice job on this one. An interesting take on a classic game. I love the birds eyes lol.

Fun... but snake is always fun.
Two suggestions: make it more obvious that the top row you can crawl through is actually there (it's hard to see, the first few tries I kept poking my head up and dying) and make it so that you can eat any part of leaves, it's not so obvious you can only eat the middle.

But regardless of those, pretty good!

nice snake game, but if every food spawn top what would be the reason to go deeper ? I spend most of my time on the 3-5 fisrt top lanes. It would be more fun with deeper objectives.

Any reason why my antivirus (immunet protect) detect your libwinpthread-1.dll to be a trojan?

Great graphics ! The area beneath the surface seems a bit large for the way it is used (the player never needs to go to the bottom for example, maybe in a post-compo version, it would be interesting). Interesting gameplay nonetheless, and fun to play !

Cool simple game, easy to understand. I liked the music, its now stuck in my head ♪
Also high-five for using a real programming language!
