The snake's control is poor and needs much tuning. If I am able to navigate around a corner I should not die from my tail hitting that very same corner as I move past it. Level 10 almost gave me an aneurysm because of this. I'm sure the tutorial for this game is awesome but the game itself needs some tuning.
actually it's not a snake but a string, and the physics of a string works as in the game. Try on your own with a real world string
