How does your game fit the theme?
The snake in this game can grow infinitely, with the only limiting factor being the player's decisions. In this game, the player must traverse the procedurally generated mines, which take away 10 segments of the snake, to find food to eat. Each piece of food increases the snake's size by 1. However, if the snake gets too long, it will become impossible to get to the food, so the player can purposefully shrink the snake by colliding with mines.

clever to think of a classic like snake for scale

I think the RNG can generate some cases that are unwinnable:

ran into scenarios where there were only bombs quite often

otherwise well done

Interesting take on a snake game! Sometimes I could run into a mine when I was tiny without dying but other than that it was fun!

The movement feels nice once you get used to the controls. A few times there were nothing but mines on the screen, but overall really cool game!

Fun game!

i love it, it's like snake but with 360 degree turn control! It's nice when you get into a flow and just start schmooving all over the place

I couldn't have said it better myself

I like it and the controls feel smooth. There were multiple times where only mines spawned on screen and there wasn't anything I could do to progress other than starting over.

Interesting take on snake. Fun game.

This is fun! Unique, and fits the style pretty well. I just wish it was a bit more flexible so I didn't keep running into mines by accident.
