Cool Game. There is definetly some gameplay issues that could be adressed, such as where the block spawns. or some bugs I got when spamming the WASD keys.
Congratulations!

Really fun game and well desgned! One problem I've noticed: The segments should attach behind the head instead of at the very tail. Right now, if you are hit close behind your head you have no way of removing the ice, since it will just stay in this unreachable position! The idea with enemies you have to surround was amazing! Could really be expanded on as well. Love the idea

Thank you for the feedback, I agree with you and we would have the segments grow at the front if we expand on this idea.

We decided to put the growth at the end so the player has to try to deliberately get hit to reduce the segment directly behind the head to get the feeling of 'I just escaped with my head'.

I was looking for another game featuring a snake. I really enjoyed your approach, specially the part where you can eat yourself to reduce the size!

Solid take on snake! Not sure i like the slow down debuff being permanent... kinda have to throw away the run once you get hit by the wizard.

Thanks for the feedback. We should have put this in the tutorial.

You can eat off your own tail to get rid of the debuff, or get your tail hit by the enemy.

Very cute approach to snake, adding sword attacks was interesting and the fact that there were more things appearing in the next waves was really refreshing

Nicely done, an interesting take on the snake formula to be sure!
