Snake Pass (PC) Preview

Snake Pass is based around a very simple concept of controlling a snake and its hummingbird friend as they explore a vibrant cartoonish environment, tracking down collectibles, called "Glimmers," and special Crystals. The Glimmers will be used in the main game to unlock extra levels and features while Crystals are the method of completing the level.

Controls were basic but satisfying; 'R' to move forward, and then use the analogue to sway just as a snake would in order to speed up. There were plenty of rocks and posts to slither over and under littering the environment, and by taking advantage of the snake's long body, it was possible to scale surfaces, wrapping around protrusions and folding the snake's body upon itself. When the obstacles seemed too much, the hummingbird friend helped out by lifting the snake's tail.
