You think you know how to play snake, and then you play this game. Snake with a skill tree sounds simple, but the level of game design here is quite good. Every color you collect has a unique effect, and in order to achieve the maximum score, and move on to the next tier, you will need to strategize and utilize these effects. Every new tier felt like it forced me to adapt my gameplay, solve the puzzle of how to manage my HP, score, and size in a new way.
And then I got to Pink and all my machinations fell apart, run after run after run and I had nothing to show for it. It felt like the last boss, and when I finally solved it I was euphoric. And then I unlocked the next color... but instead of a new puzzle, it felt like the missing piece in my strategy that I didn't even know was missing. Suddenly I was rapidly clearing tier after tier, feasting on colors and even myself.

10/10

A cross between a bullethell and a roguelike, and it does it exceptionally well, coupled with an upgrade mechanic that makes you think ahead and I'd say it makes for one very entertaining game. Builds seem a little RNG heavy, but they also give you plenty of resources to reroll, so it also comes with the joy of gambling! Boss design was particularly well done, forcing you to understand when the boss' attacks were coming, and to have a plan ready for how you're going to dodge them -- panic reacting will only get you so far here.

I will say, movement speed a little extra useful in a bullethell game. Just get fast enough to walk out of every attack without thinking, and your damage doesn't matter too much. But bosses and other mechaincs are also in place to restrict movement at times, so I don't think it's game breaking, just another way to play!

Tabbing out of the game causes it to become windowed.
