The rules of the game

🎮 Control the snek with your mouse or finger

👍 Eat the pellets! They'll increase:

• your score
• the length of your snek
• the minimum speed limit

❌ Be careful! It's game over if you:

• go below the minimum speed limit
• collide into yourself or the wall

Todo

• Maybe different kinds of food pellets? Power-ups?
• Figure out scaling on phone screens
• Create a minimal version of the game
• Implement a starting screen and game over menu
• Finish the speed & score UI
• Visual design overhaul
• Tweak the difficulty curve, consider adding lives maybe?
