How it feels
A hypnotic, adaptive arcade-like experience that blends spatial tail-avoidance gameplay with a minimalist documentary about the history of Snake games.

What players say
Players describe it as a thoughtful 3D take on Snake with responsive controls and a Tron-like visual style. The game is short, around 2-10 hours depending on achievement hunting, and includes a hidden sequence. Some find the store description misleading.
