For once a snake game where it is fun to just move around. Interesting take on the classic genre.

Neat concept. It seemed to take a while before the tail got long enough to get in my way and then all of a sudden it swings around in my face! haha

I really liked the sneak physics. It was hard but I kept playing for while.

Haha the physics snake combination is great! My highscore was 19. Also enjoyed your snacking sound effects. :)

At first I was going to call foul that this wasn't a "proper" snake game, since the tail didn't precisely follow your movement...and then I saw the brilliance of this. I honestly don't think I've ever played a snake game with physics before: your tail whips around, sending food flying and ricocheting off walls (making it all the more satisfying when I caught it on the rebound). You've made an old idea new again.

Excellent work. I was down in RVA that weekend and saw you working on this. I never realized what exactly what going on until just now. Very cool.
