The value story

November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. It has been discounted 61 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 25 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Omno ($18.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats Scrap Garden ($9.99, scores 37).

Of the 378 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 515 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 310 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.

5.3 hours to finish it, 12 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.3 times the campaign.

At 5.3 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Very nice short game. No enemies very comfortable and the movement is very nice. Havent met a better snake simulator yet. Sigh. this but for fish side by side movement would be a great sequel,,,, the artstyle is very charming. Very doable Achievements as well.

The main draw is the unusual controls - having to navigate the world as a snake instead of being able to simply walk forward. Unfortunately though, I would often know what I wanted to do, and be unable to execute it, because the snake slips. Which is odd. I'll be in a very secure position, but the snake's body is always sublty moving when he's holding on, as if he was slippery/slimy. So instead of being able to take...
