It's really cool! The physics feel very nice, but I feel like spikes setting you back so far is frustrating (maybe they take a few of hits or you could put more checkpoints at the start while you're still learning the game). Also, it'd be nice if I had a little bit of control after pressing up rather than just going straight ahead. Btw turning around to eat things is a very neat idea.
Thanks for playing! Having more movement control after pressing the up arrow is a nice idea, I'll work on implementing that. IDK really about what I will do with spikes? It might be easier to avoid them when you have more movement control and once I tune the number of spikes a bit.
