The Snake Is the Tower

The Snake Is the Tower is a game about defending a mother snake’s egg from waves of cosmic invaders. Your snake is also your arsenal: every segment you grow becomes an automatically firing weapon, while you steer through the horde and stop enemies from reaching the egg.

Grow your arsenal

Living segments can grow into lasers, cannons and rockets. Adjacent weapons merge through four tiers, from Tier 1 to Tier 4, and a cascade of merges can turn a losing run around. Between runs, you unlock weapons and permanent upgrades on a skill grid, making each attempt start stronger.

Defend the egg

Each wave pushes harder toward the egg. You weave through the battle as your weapons fire, trying to destroy enemies before they break through. The grid warps with impacts, and enemies scatter amid the destruction.

Plan your growth

Place support towers beside offensive weapons to create synergies, and time merges for lulls between waves. You balance collecting more orbs to grow against staying in controlled territory for safety, while the waves continue to advance.
