Snake Core

Snake Core is an arcade game that combines Snake mechanics with an intergalactic war against an alien threat. You command an army through missions to attack aliens, defuse bombs, retrieve soldiers, defend key locations and hunt large Snake-like creatures. The goal is to reach the Alien Overlord, choosing your route across a multi-path mission map.

Missions and upgrades

The game features different modes and a randomized, node-based mission map, where you choose which path to take to the end boss. You can recruit new units and upgrade them to build a stronger army. Power-ups improve your soldiers’ skills, help you wipe out aliens and increase your score; the game also tracks high scores.

Army units

Your army includes nine types of units, each with a different role:

• Soldier: fragile troops sent into the missions.
• Elite: highly trained soldiers prepared for off-planet missions.
• Swat: troops in protective gear, better able to defend against alien attacks.
• Jeeps: reckless drivers whose vehicles can help in battle.
• Tanks: drivers who charge into combat while firing.
• Mech: heavy mobile robots controlled by hand-picked Elite soldiers.
• Medic: a soldier whose medical training increases the lifespan of your front-runner.
• Defense: guards assigned to protect scientists and their equipment.
• Doc: scientists working on the research needed to fight the aliens.

Short sessions

Snake Core is designed for short play sessions and can be picked up for a quick game.
