For the views which state “swipes control snake”, is it part of the gag that by and large swipes do nothing? Or is that because I was too hasty loading nihilism?

For me the swipe controls only work some of the time. Might be dropping some inputs

It must be really hard to play when you can't swipe. I suggest playing determinism; it should completely eradicate your control issues.

Try dualism if you want to experiment with mind control

Took me way too long to realize that you can't die in stoicist snake.

You can instead enjoy the horror of creating a situation in which despite not losing, there is no valid direction of motion, so your immortal snake is forever trapped in a prison of its own making.

I have no idea if the people ITT complaining about the mailto link are in on the joke or not but I lol'd.

TFW you read this as snackisms and was confused for like, a full minute.

Then you realize it's snake-isms, and finally get the joke and laugh for a full minute. What a day. Love this.

Nice to see I'm not the only one obsessed with Snake. This goes directly in my bookmarks :P

It was interesting until it auto-opened a mail window somehow without me pressing on anything obviously, and the email had a subject of "I love your work!" to the developer. Man, do I not like that sort of site behavior.

This is the "narcissism" snake. That is expected behavior.

Very much amused by Nihilism.

I wish it had the "Buddhism" mode.

On iOS this suddenly wanted to open a page in Mail. You have been warned.

Joke explainer:

Narcissism mode attempts to send an email to the author when you score a point: “https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?fs=1&tf=cm&source=mailto&s...

   Subject: I+love+your+work
   to: pippin.barr@gmail.com
   body: I+wanted+to+take+a+couple+of+minutes+to+write+you+an+email+about+how+much+I+respect+and+appreciate+your+work...
