The gameplay is straightforward and reminiscent of classic snake games, featuring a unique growth mechanic that ties into the storytelling, where each move reveals lore that influences gameplay. While the level design is simple and lacks the challenge of similar titles, the puzzles are well-crafted and utilize the mechanics in clever ways.

- “One of the most remarkable aspects of the game is how the gameplay and storytelling are intricately linked.”
- “Every move you make in the game unveils a piece of the lore, and every lore revelation impacts how you approach the gameplay.”
- “2D graphics, locked resolution and controls, and Adobe Flash-tier gameplay make this impossible to recommend.”
- “It's a simple 2D game where you use the 'growing snake' mechanic from the old Nokia snake game to negotiate a basic Sokoban-like puzzle area, making sure you don't get stuck with nowhere to go.”
- “Check out Snakebird instead for a game that makes the most out of the same mechanics.”
