Fun to play, and the art and sound really matched the feel of the puzzles. The end made me smile :)
My game is a lot shorter if you want to give it a try.

Thanks for taking the time to play our game. I'm happy my art and Chepaki's music added to the feel of the puzzles. :D
I checked out your game. The music gives it a unique charm. The controls however confused me. I wasn't entirely sure if the game was glitching out when I phased through walls and my controls reversed or it was some mechanic I wasn't aware of. regardless great job getting a game done for the jam. *Thumbs up*
Thanks for trying it out. I first programmed the character with no turning, but turning looks nicer. (Space bar actually spins it too.) The reverse motion occurred because turning allows the character to touch the wall (it bypasses bumping into it), which reverses the controls. I decided it was fun to have things reversed under certain conditions, and it enabled a workaround for when coins spawned under the wall, something which I was unable to prevent before the jam ended. As someone pretty new to doing my own art, I also found it interesting to explore the relationship between how I made something look and how I programmed it (snek and his shape, motion, extremities; the plates in level two and getting food on them but not on the table, the eating process, which I abbreviated because of the deadline, etc). The fun of making a game is exploring all these little interconnections :)
I would totally play a continuation of your game!
