Ikaruga Snake (for Playdate)

Snake game with Ikaruga scoring rules. Eat fruits of the same color as the snake to gain points, eat 3 fruits of the same color for chain bonus.
- Change direction: Up/Down/Left/Right
- Change color: A/B

- Reset high score: select from menu
Note that crank must remain undocked for the speed change to take effect.
This is a port of my TRICK 2022 entry to the Playdate console.
