Your past movement comes back as the danger. SNAKE: AfterImage is a fast, one-finger arcade game where every route you take can become an obstacle. Guide your glowing player around the arena, collect cores, and watch your previous paths return as moving afterimages. The longer you survive, the more carefully you have to plan your next move. Learn the rules in a quick tutorial, chase a new best score in Solo Survival, and jump straight back in when a run ends. Simple to pick up. Harder to outmaneuver yourself.
