What you get

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on phones?
Yes. Touch controls are included — swipe to change direction. The canvas scales to fit the screen.
Can I change the game speed?
Yes. Ask Claude to add a difficulty selector or modify the speed values in the code.
Can I add multiplayer?
Local two-player (split keyboard controls) can be added as a follow-up prompt. Online multiplayer would require a backend.
