contestantI used to love playing this game back in Windows 95 days and appreciate that you guys stayed true to the form. It gets a little laggy with the responsiveness when 2 people are playing which makes it difficult to control. Had a little trouble with the buttons (Join Game, Start Anyway) not doing anything and needing a reload. With that said, I enjoyed playing. Nice work guys.

Loved the multiplayer angle
The snake didn’t animate well, and I kept crashing into walls

contestantI like how you provide a url to share with other people so you can easily play with friends without having to set up a “room” but i couldn’t get it work.

contestantIt was too jerky for me to play correctly, even by myself. The snake kept skipping around on screen. Starting a game took too long, I didn’t know if it was coordinating with the server or if it just didn’t like me.

judgeKudos for a complete, usable entry with just one minor issue (Player nobody wins!) I wasn’t able to test the two player mode but I gave you innovation points for including it. There was a noticeable lag between key press and snake reaction.

It works, but it too limited to be fun or last long. The screen is too small and the graphics are too crude.
