He told Trusted Reviews that this whole project took him around 100 hours. Moos revealed that a few delays happened after his sneaky kittens got in the way by taking out a few LEDs and knocking over the camera.

The game is very simple: you can use the PS4 controller to move the red snake, which has to collect apples without biting itself.
