Last night I uploaded a new build, v1.2. It contains the following changes:

• Reduce speed increase as snake gets longer
• Remove “Score: “ prefix during gameplay

Player feedback helped me with refining this release! A player pointed out that the speed curve actually worked against the point of the game. By making the snake move 2x faster as more apples are eaten, it becomes a game about twitch reaction speed rather than maneuvering the snake. I greatly reduced the speed increases, and it made the game more fun and challenging in a different (better) way.
