The gameplay of "Snakebird Primer" is designed as an accessible introduction to the mechanics of the original game, featuring charming visuals and intuitive controls.

“The visuals are charming and the mechanics are intuitive; I can't wait to try out the main game!”
“Although the puzzles are pretty easy, the large variety of mechanics keeps things interesting and enjoyable throughout.”
“Many of the levels focus on one small interaction or mechanic that Snakebird required you to learn, making it a fantastic starting point before the original, which tended to require several insights per level.”
“Less than an hour of gameplay for 100% clear is just too short even for a discounted price.”
“Every level is indeed set at 'tutorial' level, rarely mixing more than one mechanic at once, and even then rarely using it in more than one way or for more than a single task.”
“If you feel this one is way too easy or you are left wanting more, buy the original game, as this only scratches the surface of the game mechanics' potential.”
