What gameplay feature is this bug affecting?
Games (Reptile Roundup)

What's the issue? Please include any error messages you receive and as much detail as possible.
I died in Reptile Roundup without running into a wall, obstacle, or myself. Well, visibly, anyway. I do have a theory about how it happened. How I assume the game works with the controls is that it takes input from the user and applies it to the snake in that moment.

If I may suggest a way to fix it, and this will also help with controls just not responding as well, hear me out:

Allow the system to take input from the player and order it according to which buttons the player pushed first. If the snake is going to the right, and the player pushes down and left in quick succession before the snake even moves (which is what I did before I died "randomly") then those actions are queued up: On the snake's next move, it will go down, and then the move after it will go left. That could help.

Any links relating to this bug? For example, if a particular lion is bugging, what is the link to that lion?
N/A

Any screenshots you can provide us with?
None, unfortunately. I tried to take a video of me replicating the bug, but couldn't replicate it.

Please provide us with step by step explanation how this bug happened so we can attempt to replicate it. If it's complex, please include screenshots where possible:
1. Play Reptile Roundup
2. Get the snail (this is to slow down how fast the snake moves so you can do more directional inputs in the time before it inches forward)
3. Do a u-turn with the snake as quickly as possible, try to press both buttons before it moves again.

It should look like the snake just up and dies without any visible cause, but I believe the game's programming accepts button inputs and applies them to the game in the moment, therefore TECHNICALLY the snake did an immediate u-turn (going directly down when it's been going up, which is usually not possible.) Because there's a segment of the snake there, it eats itself and dies.
