Out Oct 25

Snake, drawn in ballpoint pen, with real snakes. Steer a corn snake round a farm, swallowing mice and frogs whole: you can see each meal slide down its body as it grows longer. A rat is too big to swallow, so circle round it and squeeze.

Everything that hunts snakes is hunting you: crows peck your tail, a red-tailed hawk circles and dives, and the Old Tomcat waits at the end of the farm.

Then nine more snakes, each in its own place with its own trick: a hognose that plays dead, a sidewinder that buries itself in the dunes, an egg-eater in the savanna, a flying snake gliding between rainforest crowns, a sea krait holding its breath on the reef, a viper that lures birds with a spider on its tail, an adder warming itself on the heath, a king cobra that eats other snakes, and an anaconda in the flooded forest.

Questions

Is InkSnake free to play?
Yes. The whole first chapter is free, with no sign-up and no ads. The rest of the game is a one-time purchase of $4.99: no subscription, no ads and nothing more to buy.
Is InkSnake like Snake?
Yes, it plays like the classic Snake: you steer a snake that never stops, eat to grow longer, and must never bite your own body. InkSnake adds real snakes and real hunters: prey too big to swallow has to be coiled round and squeezed, a hawk circles and dives, crows peck your tail, and each chapter is a new species with its own way of hunting. InkSnake is our own game and isn’t made by or connected to the makers of Snake or Slither.io.
Do I need to download InkSnake?
No. InkSnake runs full-screen in your web browser, on a computer, phone or tablet. You can also add it to your home screen and open it like an app.
Does my progress save?
Yes, in your browser, as you play. Sign in with Google or your email if you want to carry on from the same place on another device.
Are there more games like this?
Yes. 16bit.ink releases a new small game every Sunday, all in the same pen-and-ink style. The All Games Pass unlocks all of them, and every game still to come, for a one-time $14.99.
