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.

30 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. Ten serpents are yours from the start. 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.
