I think it would have a little better feel if pressing the opposite direction did nothing and if the snake started out at a slower pace and speed was increased with each apple. It's a good start and those things can be tweaked. Good job!

This was fun! Definitely fast paced, which I like. My only criticism is that it kills you if you go the exact opposite direction of travel, which doesn't feel quite right.

I would recommend including the controls somewhere on the page or in the game. My friend told me it was WASD but I just couldn't get the game to work no matter what I tried :( I watched my friend play it and it seemed a little fast.
Nice recreation! The chomp sound is very satisfying. Is it intentional that you can kill yourself by pushing in the opposite direction of your movement – e.g., you’re moving left, press right, and instantly die since you “hit your tail”? Some Snake games just do nothing in this case, and I wasn’t sure if it was a conscious design choice or not. Either way, fun! Good job. The pace is a little bit fast for me to get very far haha!
