Finally realized you couldn't make hairpin turns, you were forced to stay in the loop.  While not directly intuitive, it follows the theme pretty closely.  The ONLY change I would consider is not making the button holdable.  On Hacker difficulty it becomes impossible to turn accurately if you get too close to the center block, the slightest of button presses will make the snake turn twice.  This is even a problem in Gamer difficulty but never caused problems in Noob difficulty\n\nBy the way, I got a bug three times where another pellet didn't spawn after one was eaten.  The first time was after the very first pellet, but the other times were after several pellets.  Are you sure that pellets cannot spawn in illegitimate, unreachable places?  I didn't see it anywhere but the pellet is small enough to disappear in a wall block.  My guess would be inside the center block, as, if it was in the outer wall, the pellet would go missing more frequently.  Also check that they cannot spawn on the tail, I suppose.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BEK","author_uid":"1217223","time":"2020-10-03T07:56:28Z","epoch":1601711788,"modified":1601711788,"text":"wow good game, i chose gamer and it went cool. the only thing wierd was when i press a key it sometimes goes to right.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Yagir","author_uid":"1218521","time":"2020-10-03T09:18:42Z","epoch":1601716722,"modified":1601716722,"text":"\u0414\u043b\u044f \u043b\u044e\u0431\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0435\u0439 \u043f\u0438\u0442\u043e\u043d\u043e\u0432))","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kruemelkeksfan","author_uid":"1012370","time":"2020-10-03T13:32:35Z","epoch":1601731955,"modified":1601731955,"text":"@123seven3 Thank you for the detailed feedback, I guess I fixed the issues you mentioned (and some more).

For a 7 hour game with presumably 1 or 2 hours of bugfixing post-release, this is a surprisingly elegant and complete game.  You, friend, made snake into something new, and you deserve some congratulation for this accomplishment.  I've literally played this game for like an hour total now, probably.  The main thing I've learned is that missing the first pellet makes you feel really stupid.\n\nFinal high score in Hacker: 31 score 42 loop\n\n#TeamNoMute","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kruemelkeksfan","author_uid":"1012370","time":"2020-10-03T19:13:07Z","epoch":1601752387,"modified":1601752387,"text":"@123seven3 Thank you again, this gave me a much appreciated self confidence boost.
