Serpentine

Protect the eggs from your predators

Command an arsenal of mobile defending segments to stop an army of predators from reaching your eggs. Each unit will follow the leader. Build your army in whatever way you want to defend your unhatched.

After each wave, you can add more segments to your army's tail:

Jeeps are great for ramming. A little extra length can go a long way. They got hecka health so don't sleep on them

Tanks are balanced turrets. They shoot medium damage bullets every couple seconds. Makes a great basic shooting component

Snipers are long range and hard hitting, to make up for their increased firepower they have a much longer reload time

Engines allow your entire Snake to move at faster speeds. Don't question how it powers all of them, it is top secret technology

Dual Drivers give your snake extra braking power and allow your troops to turn on a dime. Needed in certain challenges

Miniguns are a gunner's best friend. They fire an onslaught of bullets into anything that comes into their close range

Medics can protect their nearby segments, healing them of any damage they take. Great for ramming style builds

Guards protect nearby segments with a safety bubble. The first enemy that a protected segment crashes into breaks the shield

Missiles are a highly deadly (and expensive) weapon. They fire a massively damaging missile that explodes on impact

Lasers latch onto enemies and begin slowly building in power. If they remain locked on after a few seconds, they melt Boars

Toxic Spewers will debuff enemies with toxins. A toxified enemy will take extra damage and move slower

Stingers drop multiple little spikes onto the ground, damaging the first enemy that walks over them. Don't underestimate the power of having lots of tiny crap on the field. Sometimes all it takes is one little tack to turn the tide of battle in your favor. Quantity over quality

Puncturers develop much larger spike traps that do more damage and last longer. However, the added pointyness takes longer to generate. These are great if you're trying to focus a bit more on where you lay your traps. Quality over quantity

Bombers drop explosives behind them as they travel. The bombs quickly detonate any enemy caught it its radius. Although they rely off of randomness, one bomb can seriously make the difference between the next wave and broken egg shells

Mine Layers lay mines. Any predator caught stepping on one will quickly meet an explosive end. Pretty simple to understand. Another trap that goes great if you choose to build your snake for control. Being in the right place when the mine drops is crucial

Helipads will send out a helicopter to attack anything on the field no matter where you are. Providing great chip damage while you aren't focusing on that enemy. These are great for alerting you of where enemies are coming from, but they get stuck on beefy Boar enemies

Tesla Coils are an extremely powerful trap segment. After a long delay, they place a massive area-of-effect electric field on the ground. This effect will continuously damage predators inside of it. It lasts nearly the entire cooldown until the next is placed. Place these wisely

There are a few different predators after your eggs:

The Fox is a standard yet cunning foe. Medium health and medium speed, but with numbers. Don't let too many slip by you or you will soon regret it. It is best to try and focus on big groups of these guys at once. They do some pretty sizeable damage to the eggs if they manage to make it there

The Boar is a beefy enemy. Massive health with a slow movement speed means you are gonna need to spend a lot of firepower to take these guys down. Either latch onto it with a few lasers, or mow it down with everything you got towards the end of the wave when everything else is already obliterated

The Mongoose is a swift predator. Low health but extremely quick speeds. Make sure you have some way of dealing with them or they will be at your eggs in no time. These guys are a lot weaker to traps due to their low health, so taking time to set them up between waves might be smart.

Survive for as long as you can and maybe you too can find your name up on the leaderboard. Press escape to pause the game and see who's score you have to beat. Those with the highest wave number and fastest time are kept in the hall of fame for their service.

You can also change your movement controls in the pause menu. Switch from directional movement (pressing each direction will always turn the Snake that way) to local turning (left turns counterclockwise, right turns clockwise) or even to follow mouse (Snake always turns to face the mouse).

Since Update 2.YEEEAAAH:

Serpentine has a new weekly challenge mode!

These challenges change every single week, and the leaderboard for the challenge resets too.

Each week will have up to 3 modifiers affecting the game. There are 28 modifiers total, so do the math. That's like a bajillion different possible weekly challenges! The starting snake you get is also randomly assigned, no week will be the same as another. Always pop by and check out what's happening this week!

Be sure to check out the music options as well! There is an official rock track and lofi remix that you can switch between in game:

Will you bolster your snake and become a rammer? Or perhaps get long range weapons and take your foes from afar like an assassin? Or get up close and personal as a major gunner? Or even set deadly traps across the field, destroying all who walk among it as the trapper? Your playstyle is up to you in this strategic survival game. Now get out there soldier and defend our nation!
