Great game. My only complaint is that when your snake moves over a tile whit part of its body on the other side it kills you. And since I can't eat the food on the other side I think you shouldn't be able to die with your snake on the other side.
Thank you! That is very understandable criticism and an inconsistency that already slightly bugged me during development. In the end, I decided to go for this solution because I figured that avoiding your body was mostly a reflex thing while eating food was more of a deliberate decision, so it would be okay to have to consider orientation doing the latter but it would require too much thought for doing the former. Seeing how much confusion it caused, I'm happy to admit though that it was at the very least a questionable design decision.
Great job! I really enjoyed your submission. My only feed back is to be more forgiving when the snake is on the top/down edge. I remember that the original snake gave the player some frames of grace before killing it.
Thank you! That's not a bad suggestion. It's been a while since I played the original snake, to be honest, but that sounds like a good anti-frustration feature. If I get around to doing a post-jam update, I'll definitely consider it.
Hey, thanks for your comment! What you describe is actually not a bug, but an admittedly pretty poorly communicated feature. When the food is on the "other side" of the strip (of course, a Möbius strip only has one side, but it looks like it has two), you can't pick it up. There's actually a color difference between the two locations, but it's very subtle when post-processing ist enabled. To pick up your food, just travel along the strip until you reach its actual position.

Intriguing concept :o It took a little while to get used to the speed of my snake, but overall pretty interesting!

I love creative games, this was creative.
Okay, it took me a minute to fully figure out what was going on. But once I did, this was really enjoyable to play. Good job on everything!
