Simple, fast-paced games with colorful graphics and catchy audio, that require few or no explanations, can be played in short bursts, and usually require a lot of skill. Similar in style and spirit with the arcade game cabinets of the 80s and 90s.

Featuring gameplay where a growing, segmented creature navigates through obstacles or environments, often requiring players to avoid collisions with walls or the creature’s own body while collecting items to increase length. Frequently inspired by classic arcade mechanics, these projects may include modern variations and inventive twists on the familiar “snake” formula.
