Rip google snake game :(
How does this snake game feel so smooth?
One of my best games at google snake
I looked into the speedrun history of Google Snake and it was way more interesting than i thought, a lot of hours were put into this video but it was worth it :)

Google's Snake game has very instant response time and it's baffling me.
I assume standard snake things. one way or another there is a 0-1 window for input per-square.
Google's Snake is smooth, and it seems as though you get an INSTANT response from the snake regardless of whether you tap early or late. Tapping late seems to snap, though it's hard to observe. Tapping early still feels instant, but you can see the snake animating to reach the center and turn, how on earth does this still feel instant?
If we go back to the drawing board, a late-turn should NOT feel smooth, considering this is what's happening:

How can we get instant response from early turns too? I mean without forcing the entire tail to play instant catchup? Input at either of the following markers seem like they cause problems when you want both smooth-snake movement and instant response like the Google game:

Or are they just snapping all the way and using MoveToward() functions to get the image to catchup?
