About Serpent

Serpent is a competitive sport set in a futuristic era. Two opponents each pilot a vehicle designed to resemble a snake, with the objective of trapping the other player.

Victory is achieved by using your own tail to cut off the opponent's path. The gameplay is derived from a challenging adaptation of a traditional snake concept into a direct duel. Strategic tail movements can create enclosed spaces, which in turn generate offensive power-ups like rockets for use against the rival player.

I grabbed an item that let's me shoot missiles.
I won that round.
I lost the game.
In mode 2, this little wiggly guy will kill you, if you ram him too long.
