About Snake Core


Snake Core is an Arcade game combining the gameplay mechanics of Snake but twisting and turning the setting and variation into an intergalactic war against an alien threat with a variation of mission types and army units.

Command your army of different soldier units as they attack aliens, take out bombs, retrieve soldiers, defend key locations, and hunt down big Snake-like creatures. The game plays in different game modes, with a multi-route map that allows the player to decide the best route to the Alien Overlord.

Grab power-ups to improve your soldier's skills, wipe out aliens, and increase your score.. because in true Arcade tradition, getting your name at the top of the high-score list might be the most important thing!

\

AVAILABLE UNITS\

  • Soldier – Soldiers are pretty much fragile for these missions. But we'll work with what we've got.
  • Elite – Elite grunts are the best of the best, trained for off-planet missions like these. They also look pretty cool.
  • Swat – Swat members wear protective gear, making them better at defending against alien attacks.
  • Jeeps – Not a fan of these Jeep drivers, they are reckless and crazy. They do come in handy in battles, so we let them.
  • Tanks – Tank drivers, the crazy ones! They’ll drive into anything while shooting like a maniac.
  • Mech – Our scientists finally came up with something nice: heavy mobile robots, controlled by hand-picked Elite soldiers.
  • Medic – Soldier with medical training. With a medic in your ranks, you will increase the lifespan of your front-runner.
  • Defense – We’ve sent out some protective guards to defend our scientists and their gadgets. (Mostly there to make the scientists less jumpy).
  • Doc – Our scientists are working hard on… science things. Can’t win this fight without them!

\

FEATURES\

  • Simple to understand game-loop – The game is easy to understand, and it allows everyone to enjoy commanding an off-world army with different units and strengths.
  • Node-based mission map – A randomized mission screen, allows you to choose which path you take to reach the end boss.
  • Upgrades – Recruit new units, and upgrade your units for a stronger army.
  • Short game sessions – Snake Core is designed for short gaming sessions, a great game to pick up at any time for a quick go!

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's interesting modern take on the classic snake formula, but are frustrated by persistent technical issues including frequent crashes, broken achievements, and significant input lag. The most commonly cited complaint is the repetitive and unskippable audio that becomes unbearably annoying, with several players noting there's no option to mute it. Many feel the game lacks polish compared to free alternatives and question whether it offers enough value or originality to justify its cost.

Interesting style of a snake like game but only in the first view. Game closes itself often, achievements do not work, mission modes are uninteresting because all over neaarly the same. There are better versions of an snake attack game outside for free with less bugs.

This is actually a kind of OK game but I have to give it a negative review as the audio is just so damn annoying I couldn't continue playing it. It just plays the same set of vocal samples over and over and over again and there doesn't appear to be any way of turning them off. Drove me mental. One of my kids even came into the room to tell me how annoying this game sounded and they've never done that before! Should have got a refund but didn't get round to it. Add the option to turn off that blasted audio and I'll give it another go.
