Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is complete and polished. Early Access ships with the full feature set and every mode in place, with one exception: only the first half of the campaign is included. That content is already built, but before I lock in the 1.0 version I want real player feedback to fine-tune balance across the whole game. A short Early Access period gives me the time to act on that feedback before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 month.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version adds the second half of the campaign: 250 more levels, the additional arenas they unlock for the Battle modes, and a new endgame boss mechanic. It will also include balance changes and fixes drawn from community feedback during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A fully playable and refined game. Everything in the "About This Game" section is available in Early Access, with one exception: the campaign currently runs 250 levels instead of the full 500.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No. The price stays the same during and after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through the Steam community hub and the Discord server, where players can suggest content, report bugs, and share feedback. As a solo dev, that direct line to players is how I'll decide what to prioritize and improve before the 1.0 release.”

About This Game

Length is your life. Every hit costs you tail. Stay longer than your opponent, grind them down to nothing, and rack up +3 points per takedown.

CLEAR THE COUCH.

Up to 8 players on one shared screen. No accounts, no setup, no waiting. Plug in up to 8 controllers, split the keyboard four ways (WASD, IJKL, Arrows, Numpad), or cram two players onto a single gamepad. Mix and match. Nobody sits out. Everyone joins by pressing UP.

Take on the story campaign solo or in 2-player co-op. Or bring the chaos to four battle modes: Score Battle, Timed Match, Snake Royale, Endless Classic. Tune speed, scale CPU difficulty, run teams or free-for-all, crank food spawns to Foodpocalypse, slap a custom nameplate on every snake. Your house, your rules.

20 SERPENTS. EACH ONE PLAYS DIFFERENT.

Speed, acceleration, starting length, growth rate. Every snake feels distinct. Tanks wall off whole sections of the board. Speed Demons close gaps before you've finished planning. Growers start tiny and snowball into terrors. Half the roster is yours from day one. The rest are bosses you'll meet, fight, and recruit.

THE WAR BEHIND THE WAR

An ancient war between serpents. A living darkness feeding on the conflict. The Order seeks unity. The Fangs choose separation. Where the war runs deepest, portals tear open at nightfall and The Writhing spills through.

The campaign crosses ten biomes that change the rules: forests choke your sightlines, frozen wastes starve you, swamps poison most of your food, volcanoes stay in permanent darkness. Each arc follows a different serpent, and a mystery none of them are ready for hides underneath it all.

Yes, this is a snake game. It just has more to say.
