The UI looks cool, but with the story progressing (especially when you allow the snake to go through its body), the story becomes difficult to read. And I personally don't find many choice or constraint in this game... It could be more interesting if the user did not only "find the letter".

Nice sound and theme!

I really like the concept of a snake game telling a story =D My only suggestion would be to implement consequence, and made multiple levels with shorter sentences. For the first few words I was really excited and worried that I might run into myself, and knew that if I did I'd have to play it again so I'd know what it said. The concept is awesome, so I hope you continue working on it!

Interesting idea but it's too hard to read unless you crash and at that point I'm not sure it's a game. Music is lifted from somewhere else but I can't quite put my finger on it!

Very clever! It goes on for quite a while, though, heh. By the end it got difficult to read...I started wondering when it would be over. I did enjoy the ride, though!

I like how it makes a sentence. I got really far before finding out that there's no way to die, but still, nice job!
