Just another snake clone.

So this is my most advanced snake clone (I've probably made around 12 of these)
Unlike my previous snake clones, This one has a level system, There's walls you can crash into. I'd like to expand on that in the future, Perhaps add a puzzle element to the game.
Currently there are only 2 levels which you can play in an infinite loop. Or you could make your own..all you need is ms paint
Screenshots:
Menu:
in-Game:
Known bugs:
- Snake can sometimes turn around on itself (if that makes sense...)
Any feedback and bug reports are welcome!

Simple, but fun. Nice job!
Though I was quickly reminded of how terrible I am at Snake-style games

I spent 15 minutes trying to turn around inside myself. I gave up and started playing normally. After 2 minutes, I turned around inside myself.

It's a bitch ain't it? If anyone has suggestions on how i could fix that bug i'd appreciate it. I mean i'm pretty sure i know why it happens, just don't know how to prevent it from happening.

You can create a "turn queue" and turn just once every 'tick'

Thank you. I'd say i wrote the basic mechanics like half an hour, then spent a few hours just refining it and trying to make it look pretty. lol
EDIT: Actually an hour and a half might be more realistic, I actually re-wrote the entire chunk of code that deals with the snake moving and colliding with stuff like 3 times before i ended up with what i have now.
Btw, Here's an updated version, I believe I've fixed the snake turning around on itself bug, added 1 level, And made pausing possible, Aside from that it's just visual changes.
Speaking of visuals, Is the game kinda dark for you guys? I just tested it on my laptop and it looked a bit darker than i intended it to..but looks fine on my desktop..

Yay, more snake! Pretty soon this forum will have the largest known deposit of snake-like games in the entire universe.
Great job
