A neat variation on Snake. Liked the way the colors changed throughout play. It would have been nice if there was some sort of "game over" screen after you've "eaten" all the dots.

Is it HTML5? Please state so, I'm currently on XP with only IE8.

Enjoyable but brief. The music made me smile as well.

I really enjoyed it! Nice take on the snake concept, I would have loved more levels or something though.

Odd song. Minimalistic graphics are nice. Like the concept with surrounding the balls!

Interesting - was fun for a little while. Always curious to see HTML5 stuff. Surprised there's no web version (when I hit the Web link it started downloading a zip file). Could have used some end / victory conditions and progression of enemies. Soundtrack was pretty good, made me laugh.

Yea i don't have a webserver, and it's kind of abusing dropbox to host it on there, so I made a it like this. Also, it wasn't usual html5+javascript, rather I used processing.js and maybe a few lines of javascript and html for audio. fyi processing.js converts processing code into javascript.

Fun, simple little game. Strange music as well. :P I would have liked some victory conditions or challenges, but still a bit fun regardless.

liked the music, lol. Game could have been more clear what to do, maybe had a score or a "you win" or something, you just kinda derp around and do nothing after getting them all.

I didn't have time to put an automatic respawn when you win or win screen, but you can just press the + key to make more enemies. Yeah, it would have just taken a few minutes, but one of the days I had work and I just got tired.
