I like a good puzzle dungeon. Give me a tiled floor littered with switches and spikes and I’ll probably have a merry time.

Here’s a trailer, which shows Snek in action:

The rooms you’re slithering through form “a continuous, interwoven puzzle dungeon with 2-5 hours of gameplay”, according to itsSteam page. The puzzles are normally based around either the length of your snake (snek?) or the rhythm of your forward-forward-forward movement.

There’s more to come, too, as this is only an early access release. The final game will apparently feature five environments with distinct art, a level editor to make your own puzzles, and a wordless narrative.

Temple Of Snek is from Aetheric Games, whose work we’ve been covering for a long time. They previously madeshort, domestic horror game Bonbonand before thatAmnesia mod The Trapdoor.

If Temple Of Snek sounds like your thing, you can grab the early access version from Steam now for £6.47/€7.37. Or if you want something similar with more legs, giveDungeon And Puzzles a go. It’s a sokoban puzzler about stabbing your way through dungeons with a similar energy.
