Incredibly good game. Good concept, good graphics, good puzzles, fairly easy, etc etc. I like how the head goes into a rage and pursues the tail to the end, big fan

Great game. I love the twist on snake. I like the idea of the mechanics but I find it a little confusing, that the head sometimes chases the next piece automatically and sometimes you can avoid that by being fast enough. Still, very good game

Really liked the concept, the graphics and the puzzles, but the controls are a bit confusing. It's hard to understand when I have the control.

just like @bomdiajj, I too had difficulties grasping the rules of when I wouldn't be able to control the snake. That didn't stop me though from ignoring the mechanic almost completely (except the one level where you have to choose one entry). But overall, very fun game, liked the vibrant colourscheme and minimalistic graphics a lot!

Nice entry! I think I would have preferred if I could have held the move buttons down to keep moving but otherwise nice job

@darkroasted @bomdiajj @trexxak thank you for your feedback! Snake goes towards food(or tail) after it finishes "move" with some delay. Player input in ragemode affects next possible turn. As i understand it can be confusing on high-speed, so i recommend to play a little bit slower)

Concept is good, though I agree with others that the movement takes a bit of time to get used to, which is not ideal for a short game.

I think you should get more feedback when you collide with the walls/obstacles, otherwise, good game

Nice puzzle game around a unique movement concept. Looks and sounds good. I encountered a bug or two and would have loved a bit of background music but still a great game overall. Good job!
