About the game

SERPENTER is a bright, fast-paced 3D snake adventure. You're Zip, a robot snake exploring islands that float high in the sky, and the islands are full of surprises: floors crumble beneath you, ice makes turning tricky, rivers sweep you off course, and whole worlds twist into drums, waves and doughnuts beneath your tail.

A storm split the island Zip shared with his friend Ray, sending Ray's half drifting away. Now Zip must journey through nine worlds, defeat their bosses and collect the missing pieces of a map back to Ray.

63 levels: trapdoors and two-floor crypts, hunting creatures, shifting clockwork, jungle vines and rope bridges, blizzards and falling icicles, loop-the-loops and swinging bridges. Find the letters S-N-A-K-E, hunt down six hidden keys in every boss level and unlock secret bonus levels.

Play it Classic, or switch to Remix for twelve power-ups, pairings and a rare golden apple. Take on Serpent Run, one endless level that keeps getting faster; a new daily challenge with a global leaderboard; three multiplayer modes for up to four (Versus, Race and a co-op campaign where player 2 is Ray); and a level editor with share codes.

Zip is SERPENTER's hero: a sleek robot snake with LED eyes and a tongue that flicks when it's pleased with itself. It cheers you on (and teases you a little) between levels.
