I love how you took a basic formula like Snake and made such creative mechanics with it!

I like it
Snake, but better, i like mehanics you used in this game
Pretty cool snake game! For the most part, I felt like the game was rather charming in its presentation and an interesting twist on the typical snake gameplay, what with its introduction of enemies that fire back at you (with great attack telegraphs) and turrets you can install on your body. The ability to recover from failure by switching to pilot mode was also quite novel (though a bit odd that your turrets still fire during when you'd think they'd be inactive). I was also glad to see that the controls never let me down when I tried to pull off difficult maneuvers like sharp turns.
For the most part it is fun, but I was a bit disappointed how quickly the game stalls out: it doesn't take long for the enemies to stop evolving and for your ship to stop growing, leaving the game feeling rather repetitive. The whole aspect of having aggressive enemies and turrets really brought my expectations up for how the game might evolve: maybe we'd start fighting crazy boss enemies or something like that, but instead it just stuck with pretty standard snake gameplay, even being a bit lesser since you stop growing. I dunno, something about the game really made me want more than what it settled on, but still, as I said, it's pretty decent nonetheless.
