Super interesting concept! I like that you should keep your head on the snake not to lose energy but that you still have to take the risk of venturing out of the safe zone to eat!
Maybe I would've switched the snake and the background color, since red inspires danger as opposed to green which inspires safety (then again, that's just a detail).
Since your game is playable on browser couldn't you check "This file will be played on the browser" to make it directly playable on itch.io ?
Otherwise the difficulty was balanced (I never died unfairly but I also never survived indefinitely), I had fun !
Thanks. I'll probably have a green snake when I update the graphics with actual pixel art. Also, I tried checking that and it refused to load the other resources needed, so I unchecked it, and uploaded a playable version to my server. All in the last 7 minutes of the Jam. Not sure why it screwed up yet, but I'll look into it before my next submission at the end of this week (Optical Jam 8)! Glad you had fun!
This was not the game I originally designed as several things severely limited my time, so I whipped this one together during the last 6 hours of the Jam. Hope people like it. I will probably add sound, better graphics, and music later. Didn't have much time to test the difficulty settings added in the last hour, but I think they are somewhat balanced. Let me know. :) Also, if you find a bug, feel free to report it here and I'll add it to the list of fixes and changes to be made later. If you don't want to download it, there is a live version running on my server at http://www.tiltg.com Have fun!
After playing some more, I definitely need to work on balance a little more. Hard is the best mode to play on. The settings for Hard were the ones I started with. Easy and Medium were added in the last hour and Easy while still fun, I definitely need to reduce the energy gained from fruit. Medium similarly. Probably need to decrease the max energy setting in both slightly as well. Overall I'm enjoying it. Now to go see what other people have created as well!
