Once I got the hang of the controls and the crafting recipes, this was a fun little survival game. You don't see many games go for the style of old 80s computer games, so it's cool to see a new game in that style, and the graphics sell that aesthetic well. The sound effects are funny, especially the little "MINE." when you pick up an item. My main complaint is that there isn't too much depth to the gameplay, but that's excusable for a game jam game — there's only one enemy type that you can easily kill once you've made an axe (until it breaks, anyway), and the foraging is a pretty straightforward way of trading satiation for a chance at resources. If you pursue this game concept in future, I think it'd be interesting if the foraging became a tile-revealing game a bit like Minesweeper, letting the player get hints as to what's located where. Still, this has potential to be a fun retro game with a relatively unexplored aesthetic.

Also, I'll never live down the guilt from killing and eating dozens of my fellow sneks...

it took me a couple minutes at the start to understand how to play it, but once i did it was pretty fun. it definitely captures the era you were going for quite well, and it feels pretty challenging, i keep struggling with getting enough health back after a few snek battles. i think going back and adding some more enemy variety would make the game even more engaging, nice work!

For all its primitive appearance this is a deceptively fun little game. On my first run I died quite soon, on my second run I realized I could pick up a rock and equip it to attack the snakes, on my third run I realized I could craft a sharp rock. I managed to survive for a while and explore the area. 

Cool ideas, great super minimal survival game!
