How it feels

A rapid, cunning twist on Snake where you drop walls on enemies and can switch between frantic real-time and methodical turn-based play.

What players say

Players describe it as snake mixed with Dig Dug or Boulder Dash, but say it is unlike either. The twist is that your body is invincible, and you defeat enemies by collapsing terrain on them. Many note a steep learning curve, and opinions split on whether the pace is too slow or the action becomes frantic and addictive. A five-minute mode with dense lasers and treasure is widely praised.
