It's a pretty good way to implement the game jam theme. Good game, it's nice. Congratulations!

Classic Snake game, but this time you are the food and snake tries to eat you

This was a neat little game. It wasn't the first game with this concept I've seen this jam, but it certainly tackled it well. I feel like the snake's pathfinding had some issues, as it was easy to avoid it by hiding behind a rock. I try to avoid game concepts that require any sort of "bots" (eg, the snake in this game that pretends to be a player-controlled character) because of how hard they are to get right in a short game jam. The only direct feedback I have is that I don't feel like it should count as a loss if you (as the apple) touch the snake's tale, as snakes don't eat from their tales, and it feels awkward when I lose to it. Also, the snake during the countdown seems a little broken, with their tail section not being connected to their head, but that's only a minor graphical issue.
Simple but addicting. Rocks are my bane. Stopping at 97 but I'll try to beat it next time.
Simple and fun.
I wasn't very good on it, butI got a score of 180 because the one randomly spawning obstacles was just close enough to the edge that I had a little nook to hide in that the Snake couldn't fit inside.
Was simple, fun, and nicely colourful. Controls worked really well but I did find it hard to avoid the snake if it really went after you (which I suppose makes sense).
Got 80 points. I have played a couple of games like this in the jam already but this is the best execution of this idea so far.
Very cute art style, I like the unique design of the snake where its body is segmented too. Good submission
Super fun! I did experience a couple bugs, like when a new piece of the snake spawns, it moves and that can kill you, or the gaps in the snake. Regardless, super fun, my highest score is 113!
the snake ai is great, love how it changes mind on its target sometimes
I had a lot of fun playing this! My current high score is 259, although I do see myself playing again pretty soon to try to beat that. Well done with everything, this is a genuinely great game.
The game is really beautiful and the music and sounds are also very good. Its also very fun to play and not just escaping but also taking apples is a good idea. The only problem I see is that the snake is much faster than you at the start. But the game is really good. Nice work!
