I played it as a cart on PICO-8, nice experience! I am coincidentally researching Snake remakes and I was considering a “no die” mechanic where going through your body would simply cut it and allow you to continue… Which is exactly what you did! That will make me gain some time as I can see how it feels now. Losing snake length can be frustrating, but in your case it allows the song to go on so it removes frustrating of having to go over from the start.

However, the web version crashes very quickly with attempt to index local c (a nil value)

Otherwise, I didn’t know about Coffin Dance. I researched it a bit and found about the Dancing Pallbearers from Ghana. Not much interested in it as a meme, but I like the idea of “leaving with style”. The music is nice too, you can even follow the lyrics along the chiptune!
