this thing is a bit buggy
if i push "downarrow" while going upwards, i die... this should be filtered
also, the mouse control sucks... what about making clickable arrows on-screen? that'd be much better i think

guess it's a feature. at least the same happened in that classic tron game.

and why don't you simply play with cursor-keys?

however, i'm not entirely satisfied with the controls, maybe the whole field should be bigger.

why i don't play with cursor keys? see above
i'm used to the controls of Nibbles and most other snake games where you don't die when trying to reverse your direction.

and why should there be a mouse control when it's not really usable... that'd be kind of pointless

Strange, it is filtered out. The only way you can possibly do this is by pressing down and up after eachother in the same frame. This is very difficult to do and I had a lot of trouble repeating it.

Maybe I'll do another controlling method in a new version. Level support is the most important thing that must be added now.

yeah and a bigger field...
and a key to begin the game
i have to click the message, then quickly move to the keyboard to control the worm... sometimes i'm fast enough but sometimes i'm not

Thanks for the comments, I'll implement the changes in the newer version.

You could also just make an outline around the playing field as opposed to drawing every block, it's kinda confusing with all the blocks.
