In Snake Pass you play, who would have guessed, a snake. But the uniqueness lies especially in the control scheme, as you direct the head in 3D space and then contract and release the body in order to slither forward or climb up some scaffolding or reach over empty space since everybody knows: snakes can't jump. And the snake is so goofy looking, you just have to love it! Here is a video showing it in action.

The game gives you a few abilities over the play time of around 7 hours , but mostly it's just about how well you can master this control scheme. The art design is mostly similar: vague Aztec/Maya themed with a few different accents depending on four classical elements, but since the game isn't too long, it's fine in my eyes. There is not really a story besides some alibi plot why you need to clear the levels, but I enjoyed my time with this unique and charming platformer. Haven't played anything similar, so if you know similar unique concepts, I would love to learn about them!
