Python

A classic Snake game with a little more bite — and a lot of green-screen nostalgia.

Guide your snake around the field, eating rabbits and growing longer while mongooses get in the way. It is a remake of the kind of game that once lived on room-sized computers with 48K of RAM.

Designed around a fixed pixel grid, the game keeps its old-school character while supporting modern iPhone and iPad screens.

The small details

A game that
remembers where it came from.

The name refers to the snake, not the programming language. The rest is a love letter to the games that taught us to watch every square.

01

Classic controls

Tap the left or right side of the screen to turn. Pause and resume from the top of the field.

02

Rabbits with weight

Rabbits carry different weights from 1–9, changing how quickly your snake grows.

03

Just enough danger

Mongooses turn an easy-looking field into a game of timing. A hidden cheat can remove them for one session.

04

Made for a high score

Game Center integration, persistent game state, sound effects, and a 5,000-segment maximum.
