A star snake answers the oldest distress call in the galaxy: meow. Plays in portrait or landscape, on iPhone and iPad. Cats are lost in space. They drift between asteroids, nap on moons, and orbit black holes without a care. You are the snake sent to bring them home: glide through real star systems, rescue every cat you find, and grow longer with each one. The longer you get, the trickier the flying. Try not to tie yourself in a knot. FLY ACROSS REAL WORLDS A handcrafted campaign through five star systems, from Earth's backyard to the edge of a supermassive black hole. Real planets, real scale, real trouble. GROW YOUR SPACE SNAKE Every rescue makes you longer, faster, and harder to steer. Earn up to three stars per level, then come back and fly it cleaner. DODGE EVERYTHING Asteroids, gravity wells, pulsar beams, radiation storms, and black holes that will happily keep your snake forever. RESCUE MISSION EARTH An endless orbit around home. How far can you fly, and how many cats can you save? Climb the Game Center leaderboard. FIND THE GOLDEN CATS One legendary cat hides along a risky line in every level. Rescue them all if you dare. MAKE IT YOURS A Pet Store of cosmetic serpents and astro-cat outfits. Purely cosmetic, entirely optional. FLY YOUR WAY Touch or tilt controls, a gentler Casual mode, and no account or signup, ever. Progress saves quietly to iCloud. Every cat needs a hero. Answer the meow.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Doodle Melon at none against Snake's 10. Doodle Melon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Snake's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
