This game is way too stressful for me.
Great use of the themes!
You made Snake, but made it a lot more fun, that's a good thing! Clever usage of both themes also, congrats :)
The best combination of Snake and an RPG I've ever played! Great idea =). I run into walls (or myself) way too often though, couldn't get very far.
Very fun game. However, there was a bug where the enemies would walk around inside which was a bit distorting but otherwise very strong entry.
Using the snake game is a good idea, but I can't play windows' games :(
Game crashed 3 times. I am using 32 bit windows could that be the reason?

When does it crash? If it crashes all the way at startup before you see anything, it's your video card. I always forget to implement error handling for that situation, but XNA games crash at startup if your video card doesn't meet the minimum requirements. If you're on a laptop with dual video card, try if you can run the game using the more powerful video card.
If it crashes at any other point, could you provide more information? When does it crash, and what information does it give you when it crashes? Is it the typical Windows crash message?
Interesting concept! I like innovation of the snake-to-rpg conversion :D
I would make hitting the walls not so deadly, or make it so you do not start over again when you die that way ;)
Foxtacy: hahahahaha quite curious! we did a snake based game too! It's called Snakescape, check it out :)
I really enjoy your take on snake-like games. It's really fun, did you use MonoGame?
@mockthebear
I used XNA, the (now deprecated) Microsoft framework that MonoGame is based on (MonoGame is open-source XNA, pretty much). I should move on to MonoGame at some point, but my graphics library isn't fully compatible and so I'd need to fix it under MonoGame, something I still haven't done yet.
Crashed when starting :( Want to try rpg mixed with snake !
This is a great idea, you got very good ratings from me, particularly in innovation - I would like to see this concept explored a bit more, preferably in a platform which is more accessible. A simple tile based game like this could be done in js / canvas so there would be nothing for players to install.
I'm really sad to say that XNA is not the right platform for LD - the only LD game I ever submitted flopped because very few people could play it.
