How it feels

A frantic, neon-drenched arcade shooter where you slither through polygonal enemies to pulsing 90s electronica, chasing high scores.

What players say

Players praise this free snake-inspired arcade game as addictive and well-executed, highlighting the dash mechanic that lets you trap enemies with your tail. There is a split on the 360-degree shooting segments, which some find frustrating, and a single negative review dismisses it as a dull tech demo. The developer responded quickly to fix launch bugs, which players appreciated.
