Viper Verse
Wax Poetic in the Viperverse!
Have you ever played Snake? Of course you have. But have you ever played a version where instead of eating fruit, you're eating words on the screen and trying to construct a poem with it?
As the player, you have a degree of control on the words that will appear, but the game highly encourages you to get into a free-flowing mindset. Try to think more of feelings or vibes, rather than searching for that one exact word you have in mind.
The game is in early access. There is a lot of room for growth and expansion still, depending on reception to the concept. Feedback is always highly appreciated, either here, or in the discord channel!
Viper Verse is a free game. You can donate a few dollars to the developer if you want to express your enthusiasm, it is highly appreciated, but please do not feel obliged to do so! My intention with this game is just for people to have fun with it, and perhaps inspire some mad poetry.
The embedded version in the browser should work fine, but I'm still having some scaling issues with itch.io's embedded iframes. As such, the game does look crisper in the downloaded desktop version.

Artsy game. It's an unusual and frenetic way to get a poem written!
