About Ekans

✦ AI summary

Ekans flips the classic Snake formula by making you the fruit trying to escape a relentless serpent in a high-stakes game of evasion. Outmaneuver your opponent, rack up points as the snake grows hungrier, and climb the leaderboards to prove you're the ultimate survivor.


Hey everyone! Just a heads up - I'm still tweaking and improving the game, and I love hearing your ideas. Feel free to drop any suggestions in the community hub or shoot them over on Discord. Your input really helps shape the game, so keep them coming!


In this game, we've flipped the script on the classic Snake game. Instead of controlling the snake, you're the fruit! Your goal is to evade the relentless snake in a thrilling game of cat and mouse.

The real challenge lies not just in surviving, but in outdoing yourself and others. Collect points to climb the leaderboard and prove your skill. Every game is a new opportunity to reach the top!

This isn't just a game of chance. It's a test of your skill and tactical prowess. Points increase each time the snake devours an apple, so you'll need to think on your feet and make every move count.

A fun game that’s oddly addicting. It has a similar concept to the original Snake game but instead of being the snake you are another character who kicks the fruit to distract the snake from eating you. Would recommend to another person

Pretty creative, and fun for about an hour or so. Could be significantly better with more variety, such as unique maps, abilities, different kinds of fruit that do different things, customized skins for the snake, etc. Probably won't pick this back up unless there's a solid update, but the game is nice and cheap.

"In the desolate realm of Ekans, we witness the relentless pursuit of sustenance by the titular character, it is a metaphorical dance with mortality that echoes our human condition. This labyrinthine quest which essentially becomes Ekans' demise is fraught with tension and the inevitability of self-consuming cycles. What makes Ekans special is Asmo's expertise in subverting the expectations. Upon launching the game, we witness the gruesome death of a central character we assumed to be the target only to realize that we are in fact, Ekans' aim in his quest of preservation. Such twist presents the experience that transcends the boundries or a mere video game to unveil a profound commentary on that which we all are familiar with, the human experience and our want of self-preservation" -Werner Herzog on Ekans.

"Ekans" presents a fantastic twist on the classic Snake game. Instead of controlling the snake, you "kick" his ... apples :P which he eats. However You are the main target so kick those apples ! It's important to point out that it's not just about survival; it's about surpassing yourself and other players, especially your friends, because the game keeps track of your best score and shows it to your friends :) It's a genuine test of skill, allowing you to prove yourself and reach the top!
