Why snake like? Just curious.

  There's a sort of mini genre of build simulators stapled on to a simple shell game (which the OP is one of the main contributors to). It works well because the controls are simple, the mechanics that builds tie in to are simple to grasp, and it takes way less dev effort. For this specific game, snake works super well because it's very inspired by auto battlers, so different units as segmentd doing their thing and being killed individually works very well with snake.

      I don't think there's any central place or tag that captures this idea properly. Generally games like this tend to happen a lot in roguelike/roguelite tags (https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Roguelite/ https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Roguelite/), but they can be anywhere really since theorycrafting/build-making is a very common theme in games.

      I wish there was a steam tag people used but I think it's too niche lol. Here's the ones I've found on steam - Nova Drift - SNKRX - BYTEPATH Back in the day I played so many flash games like this, but unfortunately it didn't seem to spawn as much of a genre lol.
