shoot snake
WASD to move, automatic shooting, right-click to sprint, killing enemies makes the body grow larger, and all units die with a single hit

I think this game fits the theme very well! I felt frustrated while playing because I wanted to shoot more enemies but shooting them made me an easier target. I found that it was hard for me to move around the space knowing that the enemies could swarm me at all sides and it would be hard for me to maneuver around them. Great job with making this game! It made me very aware of my limitations as I could only move the best I could, and choosing where and how fast to shoot was out of my control.

A nice pocket sized game, in more ways than one xD
Presentation is clear and with quick restarts help keep you going for a while. I managed to get 31 for best score.
Sadly, there is frustration to be had beside the intended stress of getting less and less space.
Not being able to hit targets outside of the border means that there is even less space than intended to get to hit the targets. The turret even turns towards them, instead of shooting those on the other side so I can get away from the wall. The dash is also not too helpful since once you grow big it just bounces you between walls, making this issue more apparent.
I do not know why we are aiming automatically, but I am unsure if aiming manually would make it more or less difficult xD

Nice idea but I think the initial space is too little or the growing too fast. It would be nice the game last for a bit longer than a few seconds. Other than that solid entry I think

Thanks for playng!Maybe slower enemies and larger space could be a better version.
