Desiccation Derby
You are a spunky desert tequila worm. In order to grow and not become a desiccated husk in the desert, you must nourish yourself with the life-giving water of the desert cactus. This is found only in the top of the cactus. If you hit the border, run into your body or go backwards, you die. Mouse click on field to start, arrows to move.
Thanks to Daniel Shiffman for his Coding Train tutorial on snake games!
I have not been able to fix the bug on itch where the cactus spawns off-screen. I originally programmed the game in p5js editor, where it works without the bug if anyone wants to play it there: https://editor.p5js.org/chronomatopoeia/full/hz6rBbLZC

There's a bug where the cactus doesn't spawn or it spawns outside of the screen. Other than that it's fun and simple :)
Yes, that’s a specially programmed feature. When a player is too pog, the game takes over and throws the cactus food beyond death so that the player has to defy death and reach the next level. (sounds of beginner programmer frantically typing conditionals and smashing head on keyboard…)
