For those that missed it initially, and didn't quite got how it works the first time, there is a small cyan question mark at the top left, which states:

> Use the arrow keys or WASD to control the snake on the URL. Click here if you can't see the page URL or if it looks messed up with some weird slashes

Additionally: you need a browser window where you're address bar is long enough to see the world ;).

Love the concept, it works quite well!

I was pleasantly surprised by how responsive it was, and overjoyed when I clicked back and immediately came back to HN: no messy history. Genius idea!

reading the source it looks like for some browsers that rate limit url updates, it has to use a different way that nukes your back button ability.
