Man I love these things. Back before Twitter upped their character limits, I remember a trick to cram more data in a tweet was to abuse how Twitter counts characters (it attempts to count visually rather than by byte), so by using a ton of multipart emojis or larger Unicode characters to over double the information that could fit in a tweet.
Multibyte chars is optimizing for Twitter, not for a set amount of bytes. If you try to fit in 140 bytes and you use >140 bytes because they are multibyte chars, then yeah, you're cheating. But if you're trying to "fit in a tweet", I'd say that's perfectly fair game.
Anyhow, two games... cool, but to be perfectly honest, I thought the game was going to be more like the real snake than just drawing a non-overlapping line on screen. A more impressive game might be more impressive than two games.
