just a normal snake [browser]

You're a snake, a normal snake, so get to the tunnel and eat some apples, but being a snake is also tricky! Just A Normal Snake by Werxzy for Thinky Puzzle Game Jam 5. (controls: cursor keys + X-key to start)

    1. I had the same reaction. It's got the right intentions, but the interactions were off.

  3. Frustrating at first but I could get used to the mechanics. Think of this as a snake on a slippy floor that can't be used for locomotion, so the snake needs to push against walls instead. Maybe this game should be called "Oil-snake".

  4. I bailed when level 1 started a second time vs advancing to level 2. Sure I could have started again, but if that happened on level X I'd be annoyed
