Spherical Snake

as things get more difficult it becomes increasingly important to control space-use and the resultant territory occupied by the snek; at a certain point I switched priorities from "get the target as quickly as possible" to "maintain a regular controlled movement"

Something that leapt out at this point was, there is no tension or penalty for doing so.

Opportunity to increase game challenge/skill requirement: introduce an incentive to get the target as quickly as possible.

One interesting way to do this would be to make the ball get bigger over time, with bigger balls adding more segments to the snek.

I like this sort of approach because it leaves supports two distinct play styles/cases:

- some players would see this as incentive to get to the target ASAP, to avoid growing more than necessary, thus prolonging their survival at the same difficulty

- others would see an incentive to let avoid the target, especially if it grows non-linearly, so as to jump to increased difficulty ASAP

This thing is addictive. The last time I played snake was on Apple-II computer hooked up to some scientific equipment back in USSR

Nit: when on mobile pressing and holding highlights the elements as if they were text.

You can fix that with a simple css prop.

Very cool btw

This version feels easier until suddenly it very much isn't!
