Our snake game
We make ONI Snakes: Armored Arena, a snake arena with guns: your armored snake still grows by eating, but it also fights with weapons, abilities and drones, across 11 modes from a two-minute Quick Match to an 80-snake Battle Royale, a 40-level Campaign and Boss Hunt. The modes against computer snakes work offline, and the online arena puts you with real players. It is free, with ads and optional purchases.
