[Spoilers]
Top marks for creativity, at first I just thought this was a joke submission and the whole game was just a loading screen loop that went on forever with no actual game/gameplay. After I read the description a bit more thoroughly and found the hidden controls, I managed to get it to start. I loved the idea of having the loading screen become the character, the loops of the loading screen as the theme implementation was very creative especially with the loop movement throughout the game (5/5 creativity). I like the simplicity of this game, the fact that this was done in Scratch is pretty cool too haha, nice to see that I'm not the only one not using a game engine for my submission. I got up to a highscore of 9 on normal mode (spamming space to go straight is pretty useful).

Is spacebar the only button? I couldn't find any other ones. I get the mystery idea, but this game desperately needs a list of controls. Fun to mess with the snake though.

usually the controls are kisted in the description, soo.... If you look into it good enough, you'll also find it ;)

Really fun take on the classical snake! It’s quite hard to control but I really liked it (I got up to 4).

2 -- a fun little snake variant. I wonder if a slightly easier control might be to have the spacebar switch clockwise / counterclockwise looping? Fun little game!

Developer

Thank you! Can you explain more about the control? I think the spacebar does switch the CW/CCW looping in the game

You know, the first time I was playing, I was holding down the spacebar like a moron-- this makes the loop a lot easier to handle :D
