About This Game

STILL SNAKE! BUT AWESOME! Now with an axe, a story and boss fights. You still steer a snake, you still eat, you still grow – but this time everything you eat stays with you, and something keeps trying to bite it off.

Rino, horned Viking and owner of the battle cry "AHU!", gets raided on the island of Segmenta – and his whole horde is dragged away. The culprit leaves a message: "Regards from your brother." Rino doesn't have a brother. "Rhino. With an H."

Cross the island, break open the cages of 42 horde warriors and watch your ruined camp grow back into a fortress – one rescued Viking at a time. Then go find him.

Your body is your build

• Everything you eat becomes a visible segment with its own effect on your body.

• Your length is your health bar, inventory, build and ammo – all at once.

• 7 segment types: Shield, Axe, Magnet, Bomb, Gold, Turbo and good old Normal.

• Line up three of a kind and they fuse into an Elite segment: Armor Plate, Double Axe, Super Magnet, Mega Bomb, Gold Hoard, Hyper Turbo. Order matters.

Rush

• Horn charge, 4 tiles, 3 charges. Your tail is the magazine – every Rush burns your last two segments.

• Getting hit isn't game over. It costs you 3 segments – and the bitten-off chunks can be picked up again.

Five worlds, six bosses

• 36 levels across the Burning Coast, Iron Wood, Ember Volcano, Frost Peak and Rhino's Fortress – each with its own hazards: chain-reacting mead barrels, strangling roots, lava terraces, slippery ice, conveyor belts and rune lasers.

• Every boss telegraphs its attacks. You see where it's going to hit. Whether you're still there is up to you.

• Meet Boar-Jarl Grunz, Nidhogg, the Ember Giant, the Frost Vulture and MECHA-RHINO. And something ancient waits in the heart of the island.

• Some levels send Rhino's Shadow after you. You can't beat it. Run.

Snake, the way you remember it

• Separate Snake modes for purists – no Rush, no enemies: Classic, Time Hunt, Labyrinth, Hunger, Reversal, Daily, The Rifts, Custom.

• 13 modifiers to mix and match: rising speed, wrap-through walls, poison mushrooms, mirrors, shrinking zone, darkness and more.

Couch chaos for 2–4 players

• Local Versus on one PC: Arena, Tail Heist, Food Race – with optional shrinking zone and chaos items.

• Co-op in New Game+: Player 2 plays Rhino, drops helpers – and gets an insult button.

Loot and bragging rights

• Rino's Armory: helmets, axes and 13 skins, paid for with horn shards.

• Horde camp: all 42 warriors have names and lines – say hi to Bjarki Brausekopf, Hedda Eisenschild and Gorm the Old.

• Collect sound stones to unlock music. Defeated bosses stand as trophies on the island.

"Take your time. My bosses aren't getting younger." – Rhino

New in part 2

Part 1 was pure Snake. Part 2 is still Snake at heart – grown into an adventure with story, bosses and a world map. Items no longer disappear when you eat them – they become part of you. The classic Snake modes return as their own section. Built completely from scratch.
