I hadn't heard of this game before, but it looks so cool! Apparently the controls involve moving the left stick back and forth to slither faster, a "tighten" button and a button to raise your head.

Anybody have any more info on it/played it?

potatohead · Apr 13, 2016

Wow, I wasn't expecting something like that, looks quite amazing actually.

This activates the pre-adolescent in me. I like it a lot.

Davey Cakes · Apr 13, 2016

I like the look of that quite a bit.

Seems like the kind of game that's fun just from exploring the environment. Easy to learn controls with fluid, natural movement.

Alpha_eX · Apr 13, 2016

Wasn't expecting much at all but damn, that looks great. The lighting makes it look really life like in a way, kinda spooky.

Curious how the controls work.

Looks cool. I see the potential for YouTubers.

<3 Sumo Digital <3

I'll probably pick it up.

Kaako · Apr 13, 2016

Hey, that looks pretty damn good with an interesting concept(not shooting people in the face 24/7). I like it.

Peltz · Apr 13, 2016

Looks kinda slow for my tastes.

Mdk7 · Apr 13, 2016

Nice graphics and solid art (save for the face of the snake, which i really don't like)... And I dig the concept, I'd buy it!

That snake has suuch a stupid face with them oogly eyes haha but I think it fits the environment perfectly for some reason. I'd expect a stupid face snake to be roaming these colorful puzzle contraptions.

Jawmuncher · Apr 13, 2016

My first thought was Solid Snake Spot Pass on 3DS.I have a problem.

rjc571 · Apr 13, 2016

The environment looks great but the controls sound really awkward. I'd rather explore with an agile, easily maneuverable character.

I mean, it's basically a pre-alpha/prototype. Some guy on Reddit says the art has already changed, so I wouldn't worry too much about it yet. That said, isn't it a legal requirement for 3D platformer charactgers to have googly eyes?

Spoony Bob · Apr 13, 2016

That actually looks charming as hell. The snake's doofy face kinda reminds me of Snake Rattle and Roll for some reason lol.

First thing I thought of too.

Either way, that looks cool/fun!

Goldrusher · Apr 13, 2016

This does look pretty cool.

HStallion · Apr 13, 2016

Wow this game looks great all around. Good looking graphics, a consistent if goofy and colorful art style, and gameplay that looks both fresh and fun. Love the idea of using the snake's long flexible body as the major gameplay element! Such a simple concept but one that looks like it could lead to some really complex brilliant puzzles.

Wouldn't that be a totally different game then? The idea is you're using a snake and its long slim body to explore the environments and complete puzzles, the inherent limitations in its body style and locomotion are the basis for the gameplay, playing as a much more nimble or agile animal kind of kills the idea behind the gameplay and becomes something else entirely.

ActWan · Apr 13, 2016

Looks cool. AxySnake came to mind.

Mista Koo · Apr 13, 2016

A bit too slow paced for my tastes, but I wanna try it because of the creative control scheme/mechanics.

georly · Apr 13, 2016

Oh wow, this looks really neat. It's totally something I'd imagine nintendo to think up. Will keep an eye on it, I like the concept a lot.

Lijik · Apr 13, 2016

Damn that looks really cool, such a great unique concept

Possumowner · Apr 13, 2016

OK that looks utterly fantastic.I did not expect it to look like that.Guess I'll definitely keep an eye on this

Oneself · Apr 13, 2016

Wow! It looks awesome. PC only?

KatamariOnTheRocks · Apr 13, 2016

This looks pretty cool, I wonder if the concept could work in VR with motion controls.

WarLox · Apr 13, 2016

Looks cool... but that timer at the bottom is a huge turn off.

Pretty intriguing gameplay. I'm always interested in games that approach conventional genres with unique mechanics. I find enjoyment in games like Terrover, even if they sometimes review poorly.

That said, despite the gameplay being obvious from the start of the video I was kind of hoping to see that snake coil up and do some spring-jumping, actual platform style. Movement looks a little slow and it seems much more a puzzle game than a classic platformer, but that doesn't make it any less appealing.

Mesoian · Apr 13, 2016

Neat. I'll check this out later.

Auctopus · Apr 13, 2016

Purchase will depend on whether I can eat myself.

Zukkoyaki · Apr 13, 2016

I know it probably isn't what they're aiming for but the gameplay looks way too slow for me. Though obviously I'll have to get my hands on it to know for sure.

JP · Apr 13, 2016

Really not sure about that, looked a little pointless to me. Maybe I'll change my mind when I know more about but at the moment, it's a no from me.

RiZ III · Apr 13, 2016

That grass looks amazing.

IbizaPocholo · Apr 14, 2016

Looks very good.

jediyoshi · Apr 14, 2016

Eugh. Yeugh. Can't stop squirming.

Looks neat.

Elixist · Apr 14, 2016

the animation looks awesome. ill prob buy it.

donkey show · Apr 14, 2016

We actually showed this off at EGX Rezzed last weekend. ^^ It's only been in development for 3 1/2 odd months, so it's still pretty early days. It was born from a game jam we did last year and we thought it'd be cool to move forward with the concept. The lead designer and creator of Snake Pass, Seb, was one of our LBP designers we brought in from the community awhile back so it's been cool to see his idea come to life like this. ^^

Looking at major consoles and PC.

The problem is not the cartoony face nor the googly eyes, I usually like that stuff. It's those eyes and that face in particular.

Don't know if you can see it here, but it has changed since that vid was posted: https://twitter.com/matt_stott_72/status/719509686140198913

EDIT: And then we have these...
