Yeah pretty much what the title says. A simple snake game where walls are your enemy. Collect the tokens to keep them at bay. Your undoing is inevitable, though.
Actually I had another idea in mind but that's might be a little too much for this LD, and I wanted to have at least something submitted.
I think we were in exactly the same boat with our game submissions, so I feel you. I wasn't prepared enough for what I wanted to do and had to compromise and submit something just to have something there. So from that point of view my advice would be spend more time at the beginning of the jam making sure the scope of your idea is valid, or it will bite you in the butt when you are on the last day and need to restart.
The game is nicely done for what it is, with polish this could be a nice snake variant. I would recommend a stage more like traditional snake with blocks rather than floating point 'free' placement of the snake as it makes for a cleaner game imo. The snake also moves pretty slowly, the game could be sped up.
Exactly what it says on the tin. Not bad, just not too surprising or innovative. That said, for what it is it seems polished and well put together. A good, arcade-y experience overall

Played your game with Eye of the Tiger track on repeat
