This was quite fun and definitely unexpected, I love how the food becomes the foe!
In my experience the swinging was a bit glitchy, clipping me out of bounds several times, but the regular platforming was solid and I liked the effects when you obtain a checkpoint. Nice work!
Thanks! Yep, I don't think I tested the web version sufficiently... I'm now realizing that the swinging clips the player out of bounds, which never happened on desktop. Glad you enjoyed!
Unfortunately, I didn't have much success with the game on web, and it seems to have some issues on desktop too. I cloned the game's repo and tried to run it, but at the end of the snake segment it seemed to promptly crash because of referencing a null pointer
```
Thread 1 "a.out" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) p squares

```
Here's a backtrace, if it would be helpful.

Squares comes from GetGridEdgePositions, which returns NULL. The crash is consistent and I can reproduce it every time. For this reason, I am unable to rate it.
That's odd, I'll definitely try to see what's going on here. Sorry about that, I'll update the game after the rating period is over.
Thanks for letting me know!
Hah, I love it! The idea is great!
Thanks!
