Think Like a Snake in Cute Platformer, Snake Pass

Ssstop me if you’ve heard thisss one before: A game where the player character doesn’t have any limbsss, but still has to puzzle and platform their way to victory. That’sss Snake Pass and it’s honestly kind of genius. You can’t jump or climb in the traditional sense, but you can certainly ssslither, all traversal is based on concentric movements, which should easily set out to be a refressshing take on a very old genre at the very leassst.

The game will include fifteen levels across four worlds to snake your way around, while clearly wearing it’s retro influences on its sssleeve. In a plot that sounds not too far removed from Banjo Kazooie, Noodle the Sssnake and Doodle the Hummingbird embark on a journey to take on a mysssterious intruder that threatens their peaceful home.

Snake Pass is available right now and retails for $19.99/€19.99/£15.99 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the fancy new Nintendo Ssswitch.
