Hey everyone,

We’re back with another update and some really cool new stuff to talk about.
Would you believe that today marks a whole year since we launched Snake Pass into the world?

It’s been a wild ride, and to celebrate the game’s first birthday, we’ve got a surprise for you.

Well… we say surprise, but by the time some of you read this, it will have already hit your consoles, so you’ll just have to just act surprised, instead…
Is that a drum roll in the distance? What bucket of thrills does that distant fanfare herald?

Could it be…?
Is it…?

I think I can see something, bowling towards you right now, tumbling through its own dust clouds, eager to land on your console or PC… A lesser-spotted CONTENT UPDATE!

Welcome to ARCADE MODE.

You may recall that late last year we started teasing something a little bit fruity heading to Snake Pass.

Well, it gives us great pleasure to introduce you to the brand-new mode included with update 1.4: ARCADE MODE.


It’s no secret that Snake Pass has a ton of retro platforming influences; after all it’s practically embedded in both Noodle and Doodle’s DNA!
What better way to bridge the generational divide once more than by introducing an all-new retro classic with a modern, slithery twist.

ARCADE MODE is a take on the classic Score Attack mode: snake around each of Snake Pass' 15 levels, eating as much fruit as you can find to earn as high a score as possible.

It’s simple, but ridiculously addictive.

The aim of the game is to rack up massive multipliers and race to the gate before the time runs out as you compete with friends with full online leaderboard support.

Jump in and let us know what you think!

Friendsss! We need your help again! Autumn has arrived and with it, the Steam Awards have returned to Steam.

After sitting some of our top monkeys in a room and having them hit some whirly-swirly buttons (Read: Important snakey research), we came up with the conclusion that we would LOVE it if you guys could help us get nominated for the "Defies Description" award.

All you have to do is login to Steam, head over to the Snake Pass store page and nominate Snake Pass for the "Defies Description" award in the purple bar... but you probably already knew that because you're logged into Steam right now, right?!

We'll be keeping our tail crossed!

Hey everyone,

We're just wanting to provide you all with a notice about our decision to instigate a global leaderboard reset in the next week.

Not long after Snake Pass was released, tonnes of you were jumping into Time Trials across PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 to see who could claim the highly-coveted title of the world’s top snake charmer! Whilst we were thrilled (but secretly seething…) to see so many of you put our own scores to shame, it became quickly apparent that a small number of players had discovered several exploits in the game that gave them an unfair advantage in the great leaderboard race of 2017.

With the release of update 1.2 several fixes have been included on all platforms that remove these exploits from the game, making leaderboard progress much more friendly. No more turbo charged Noodles for you! This also means that some of the times are no longer even vaguely beatable from this point onwards…

With that in mind, we have decided that it is in the best interests of keeping things competitive and with Nintendo Switch players joining the fray, ONE WEEK after update 1.2’s release, we will be resetting all the current leaderboards. That means that the title of ultimate snaker will be back up for grabs and the race will well and truly be on. We look forward to seeing what times you guys will be recording this time round and maybe…just maybe…we’ll stand a chance of beating them this time round!

We truly appreciate your support and understanding!

Hey Everyone,

The 2nd of June is a special occasion for everyone here at Sumo Digital. Why? Because it’s our birthday and this year marks a whole 14 years since we first opened our doors as a video game development studio. That’s 14 years of working on some of the biggest and best titles, bringing entertainment to millions of people across the globe. Sssuper!

That leads us nicely on to our next point. Although we’ve been developing games for 14 years, this year also marked a massive milestone for ourselves as a company that we’re all incredibly proud of. This year we released our first original title and that title was of course Snake Pass, a game that wouldn’t have been anywhere near as successful as it has been without all of your support!

With that said, whilst we’ll no doubt be chowing down on birthday cake to celebrate the day, we wanted to share some of the festive cheer with the rest of the world too! So, that brings us to our mini announcement.

We know there are plenty of Steam players out there that have been waiting for that right moment to pick up Snake Pass, so…

Starting on June 2nd at 6pm BST/ 10am PDT and ending on June 3rd at 6pm BST/ 10am PDT, Snake Pass will be on sale on STEAM for a whopping 50% off.

VISIT OUR STORE PAGE NOW!

This is the first time that Snake Pass has been discounted on any platform! it’s the perfect opportunity to pick up the game and jump into Haven Tor this weekend.

Sound good to you guys? Awesome!

We look forward to seeing you guys slithering around and Thinking Like a Snake real soon!

Hi everyone,

Since Snake Pass launched a little under 2 months ago, we've been seeing a lot of people asking for alternative ways to purchase the game on PC. Needless to say, we've been listening and whilst things have been a little quiet, we've been exploring a ton of great options that we hope many of you will be happy with.

It gives us great pleasure to announce that we've teamed up with the fang-tastic team over at Humble Bundle to bring Snake Pass to the Humble Store. Not only will you get our sssuper slithery game, but you'll also be supporting a number of charities with your purchase too, which is simply awesome.

Of course, this isn't the end. We're actively looking into lots of different options to get Snake Pass into your hands and as soon as we have some more news, we'll be sure to let you know!

If you're yet to pick up Snake Pass, this is a great way to do so!

We look forward to having you join us on Haven Tor!

Hey Everyone,
It’s been a little while since we’ve dropped our last update, so now that we’re just over a month since launch, what better time than now?! Thankfully things are a little less chaotic on our end, so much so that we’ve finally had chance to sit back and take everything in for the first time. It’s honestly been so much fun to actually sit back and jump onto forums/YouTube/Twitch to hear directly from you about what love (and what you dislike) about the game. So, once again a massive thank you to each and every one of you for supporting us and Snake Pass. Your feedback means so much to us and remember, we're always listening!

So, how about we take a quick look at the first 30 days of Snake Pass in stats?

Now sure, things have quietened down, but that’s not to say the team isn’t still hard at work, no sir-e! We’re all still committed to Snake Pass, so there’s plenty of work going on behind the scenes from upcoming patches, to quality of life changes, right through to exploring other possible avenues of getting Snake Pass into YOUR hands. Oh and there may or may not be additional content being explored too…Not that we can confirm or deny that either way.

That being said, want to hear from YOU guys, THE PLAYERS, THE FANS. If we were to happen to be working on content ideas – what do *YOU* want to see us include in the game? Drop us a line in the comment section below, on our Steam forums or on our Social Media channels.

That about covers it this week, we’ll have a little more to talk about real soon, including what’s coming up in our next patch!

As always, ssstay tuned!

Hey everyone,
A brief apology that you're going to have to traverse outside of Steam to see this one, but we thought it was important that we didn't just copy and paste and you see it for yourselves.

We at Snake Pass have a little (ok it's not little...) blog post we'd like you all to check out.
