Ariel's Pearl Hunt

You control Ariel, guiding her through a grid as she collects pearls that appear one after another. The core loop is familiar; each pearl you pick up adds a new segment to the tail of beads trailing behind you. Your main goal is to collect as many pearls as you can without crashing into this growing chain or the walls. The game often starts calmly, but the pace picks up as your tail lengthens and the play area feels more cramped. You have to plan your turns a few moves ahead, weaving through the space you've left yourself. It feels like a careful, tightening puzzle of your own making.
