Escape Sequence

// snake puzzle — for iPhone

The system is infested. Tap a bug and it slithers off the board along its own body, if its lane is clear. Every level is solvable — guaranteed. Levels are built backwards from the solution, so a dead end is mathematically impossible.

A near-solved board with one snake mid-escape

A skull-shaped picture level made entirely of snakes

A dense, colorful board deep in the endless abyss region

Simple to read, deep to play

The whole puzzle is order. Bodies block lanes. Someone has to move first — figuring out who is the entire game.
Tap into a blocked lane and that's an error. Three errors and the build fails — no undo, no ad-continue. Read the board.

Journey through 12 regions

From python_meadow, where the bugs are gentle, through rust_belt, haskell_heights, and kernel_caverns, down into the endless assembly_abyss. New colors, denser code, twistier snakes.
Picture levels. Every region ends in a silhouette board — the snakes themselves weave a heart, a gear, a skull, an atom...

Endless, and cozy about it

The deeper you go, the deeper it goes. Levels never run out.
Play with one thumb. No timers on your thinking. Hints if you want them.
