Read full description

A fresh take on the classic snake game, with puzzles and a tutorial that teaches you the moves. VIPER is a snake puzzle game built around precise, tap-to-turn controls. Each level is hand-designed: glide along walls, time your turns through tight corridors and eat eggs to grow longer. FEATURES • Dozens of hand-crafted levels, sorted from easy to brain-bending • Tap-to-turn controls (left tap = counter-clockwise, right tap = clockwise) — fast to learn, satisfying to master • A first-play tutorial that walks you through the moves • Eggs to eat into new snake segments • Multiple snake skins — pick the look that fits your mood • Haptic feedback and optional sound • Plays great offline, anywhere WHY VIPER Most snake games are about reflexes. VIPER is about reading the board. Every level is a small spatial puzzle: where do you turn, when do you turn, and which path leaves you room to grow? Levels start simple and gradually layer in eggs, wormholes, and tighter geometry until you're planning three moves ahead. Whether you're killing five minutes on a commute or settling in for a long session, VIPER is designed to feel good in your hand and respect your time.
