this post is a million years old but I wanna say:
1) I think matsaba snoopy has become a classic of the twine genre
2) I think it's really important fiction w/r/t my life because I haven't found anything like it
2a. it's really weird that I can't find anything else by this author, you, since it's so appealing and well-formed
2b. if you have any examples of this kind of fiction (deliberately weird microcosmic culture sci-fi) I'd love to hear it although I doubt there is anything like this.
2c) Actually, now that I think of it, Porpentine has a lot of work like this, even maybe influenced by it. "Girl Detective and the Mystery of The Sap Stained Skirt" is recent and is very in the vein of "Matsaba Snoopy."
3) My criticism: I wish you had made the original game longer with even more convoluted branches. As it is it feels like a lot of twines where it's an original concept taken not too far. That being said I like the "true ending" very much.
4) I made a tabletop rpg based on matsaba snoopy one night when I was drinking. Basically players roll their ability scores competitively, these scores being dice representative of their ties to Snoopy characters. Then they have to pick up all the dice then can, both theirs and their enemy's, to represent mutation in the matsaba. I had a whole monster manual like .txt file with different descriptions of the different Deities/Snoopy Character aspects. I never played it and probably never will!
