interesting mix of snake and space invaders. probably I noticed the difference in speed between the PG and the enemies a little too much. With some balance work I think it would deliver!

really interesting concept! it's like a combination of snake and space invader with a sprinkle of unique powerups. I had fun with this one :D

Interesting idea and game! I wish that red stood out a little more from the grey, it was sometimes hard to see. But good writing and sound, and after I got a few upgrades after dying a couple times it was pretty easy and fun. Nice one!

Good presentation and concept, one nitpick the timer feels a bit too fast, the game lasted about a minute and I didn't know how to go that fast. Maybe there was a way to get more time but I didn't figure it out.

Edit: I see now that the upgrades don't reset when you lose, I wish that was more clear. I did end up having more fun when I realized that lol, good game!

Yes absolutely, we ran out of time before we could implement a tutorial

The Gameplay feels very refined for a Game Jam game. The music speeding up as we play adds a nice feeling of urgency. Overall, it is a nice game!
