In the process of making this, I made various testing levels. The growing mechanic was hard to design around, so I later removed it in favor of something more like Snakebird, then never released that work in progress game. I'm currently working on a bigger game that's very vaguely connected to this idea still, although it's essentially unrecognizable... oops! Stay tuned :)
It's a really manual process! I made extra objects with the different offsets visually built in for anything that should be able to move like that, then swap them out and back with an again turn. A really important thing making it at least doable, not totally absurd, is that I used pattern:script rather than Puzzlescript, which supports offsets of sprites via a text under them, for all 4 directions at once, and lets me also write just one rule to swap them out for all directions. That was a very long sentence, sorry :P
After wrestling with this all day, I suspect that snakes that are snug may be more fiendishly thinky than snakes that are birds. Thank goodness your snakes don't eat fruit!

Another excellent puzzle from minimal elements. Just the one level? What about that pic under the Support banner? That looks like another level., no?

I'm officially confounded
same :(
I was still never able to figure it out lol, feel like I exhausted all my options
Took me long enough but it's really simple once you get it
A cool mechanic and a confounding puzzle :D
