A snaky tile-based puzzle dungeon adventure. Defend the temple, monch the infidels, and grow and grow ...and grow?
You control a growing snake-like creature tasked with navigating through a temple filled with obstacles and threats. The game utilizes a rhythm-based movement system where the snake automatically moves forward on a beat, and you tap the arrow keys to change direction. This creates a satisfying, almost dance-like flow as you time your inputs to the background music. You can also temporarily speed up the snake's movement, though this removes the ability to change direction mid-step.
The temple is filled with a variety of puzzles that require you to carefully maneuver your snake through traps and obstacles. Many puzzles rely on the snake's length, such as using its body to reach high platforms or press multiple switches simultaneously. Timing is also crucial, as the snake must avoid deadly spikes and other hazards that are often tied to the puzzle solutions.
As you progress through the temple, new mechanics and puzzle types introduce themselves at a steady pace. The levels are interconnected, allowing for some backtracking and exploration as you uncover new paths and abilities. This metroidvania-like structure encourages you to experiment and revisit areas with your growing snake to access previously inaccessible locations.
Based on the overwhelmingly positive user reviews, players seem to love the unique blend of classic Snake gameplay and intricate environmental puzzles. Reviewers praised the game's satisfying sense of progression, the challenge of the puzzles, and the overall "rhythm" of the gameplay. The accessibility options, such as adjustable speed and step-by-step modes, were also highlighted as useful features for players of varying skill levels.
