Bicephalisnake by tphx
You are a two headed snake. Each head wants to move a different way but only one head can win. You can choose when to move vertically and when to move horizontally but the specific direction is decided by the snake.

Thanks for playing and voting.
Known Issues:
- Would not start with Avast Shields enabled. I did not get any messages or anything, the game just wouldn't start.
IMPORTANT:
If you can't run the game please let me know what happens. Is there any messages or does it just hang? I know it doesn't play well with Avast Anti Virus Shields but other than anti virus problems I don't know what the problem could be. Perhaps a dependency problem. I have tested it on two Windows 10 computers; however, those computers both have all the tools installed I used to create the game. Also if anybody can confirm that the game runs for them that would be nice too.
Update:
I have created and uploaded an OpenGL build to go along with the DirectX build. Hoping this solves some of the compatibility issues. If one doesn't work try the other. Thanks for helping!
Update:
The following requirements were taken from a post on the Monogame forums:
DirectX: DirectX 11 installed.
OpenGL: OpenGL 3.0 and OpenAL installed.

If your system meets these requirements and the game still doesn't run please let me know.
Update:
I have added some exception handling to determine the cause of the crashes reported in the comments. If the game crashes a file named EXCEPTION.txt should be created in the same folder as Bicephalisnake.exe. If the game crashes it would be greatly appreciated if you could post the contents of the EXCEPTION.txt file. Thanks again.

Wish I could play! Looks fun!
It gets really hard really fast, which is something to think about if you keep working on it. Because you need to think a lot more than regular snake, the length + speed increases take you from 'Ahh it's a little bit slow' to 'OMG MY ASS IS IN MY FACE' real fast!
