Let's go, I did it!
The art was very clean and intuitive.
One pet peeve of mine was that the controls felt kind of clunky and I realized that maybe it was because if I'm holding down ⬅/➡, the game doesn't register ⬆/⬇ at all. This makes sense in an open area but, for example, I was holding down ↗ and there was a wall to my right but not above me and the snake was not moving up. I thought that maybe this was a PICO-8 limitation but apparently it isn't.
