ECHO: Rewind Snake

## Short description (`itch.io` "Short description", ≤ 200 chars)

A one-life snake with a rewind button. Bend time, bank your energy, stack combos — and never lose a run you can take back.

## Long description

**One life. But you can take it back.**

Walls and your own tail end a run — unless you hold Rewind. Your snake replays its own trail

backwards, walls and body turn harmless, and you drop out of the past at the moment of your

choosing. The catch: rewinding costs energy, and energy is what you eat.

- **Rewind** — hold to replay your trail; leave it wherever you decide

- **Boost** — sprint, but the faster you go the less you can take back

- **Chain** — eat quickly for score multipliers; big runs are built here

- **Upgrades** — every 10 fruit, pick 1 of 3; deeper runs roll rare ones

- **Golden orb** — refills energy, and reappears sooner with the right upgrade
