- Ophidian offers a fresh take on the classic Snake game with new mechanics, multiple game modes, and 100 hand-crafted puzzles that challenge players' reflexes and spatial awareness.
- The game features a visually appealing aesthetic and a relaxing audio style, making it enjoyable for casual play and unwinding.
- It has smooth controls and a high level of polish, providing an addictive experience that appeals to both old-school Snake fans and new players.
- The background can be too dark, making it difficult to see the plain black obstacles, which could benefit from improved visibility options.
- Some players may find the game frustratingly challenging, which might not appeal to those looking for a more casual experience.
- The lack of multiplayer support and certain gameplay modes, such as a no-wall-touching arcade mode, limits its potential as a complete package.
