Hey redstonie and vimino, It seems I can update the game. I have uploaded an updated version of the game with your feedback and suggestions in mind. Thanks again.

Interesting concept, but I thought the controls could be a bit more responsive.

Developer

Hello redstonie, thank you for the feedback and trying out the game. I'm will work on making the controls more responsive.

Hey vimino, it seems I can't update the game right now as ratings are still happening for the game jam, I'll upload the updated version after the jam is over.

I know but don't worry, it's a minor detail.
Just something to remember when creating a production version.

Yeah I will, thanks for the feedback.

Hey vimino, I got rid of the console application, putting up the updated version now.

It opens a console and then opens the game window, perhaps you could set it to Application (not Console Application) to avoid that?

Nice and simple but I wasn't quite sure if I was doing anything aside from moving with the cursor keys/WASD.

Hey vimino, in addition to the keys you mentioned, you also have to press the space bar with the head of the big snake, the hexagon,  near one of the small red snakes to pick it up. If you successfully pick up a small red snake, the big snake will turn red. Once that happens, you have to go to the brown circle, while avoiding the other small red snakes, as if you come into contact with one of the other small red snakes the snake you picked up will escape and you have to try to pick it up again. Once the head of the big snake, the hexagon is in the brown circle, you press the space bar to put it down. If you successfully put down the snake you picked up, the big snake will turn blue again and the snake you picked up will no longer appear to be moving on the screen. You repeat until you have put down all the small red snakes in the brown circle. As you move on you will have to pick up more small red snakes at a time. I am currently working on making it into an application, thanks.

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense and it's a fun mechanic. Those pesky children really can't stay put!
By the way, you should add those instructions to the game page so that players can see them.

Haha, Yeah will do, thanks for the sugesstion.
