Description
Ouroboros is an odd twist on Snake in the form of a puzzle game where you have to bite the tip of your tail. Of course, whenever you move the tail moves and you'll have to get around plenty of obstacles, including the rest of your snake's body! Features 50 increasingly mind-bending puzzles. Unlimited undo's (so no penalty for experimentation). New major puzzle mechanic introduced every 10 levels; each explored from many angles. No progress gates; all 50 puzzles are unlocked from the start, so you can always (temporarily) skip something when you're stuck. Straightforward controls (D-Pad to move; B to undo; A to redo); can optionally use the crank for undo/redo as well.
- Crank: Optional
- Tilt: Not used
- Microphone: Not used
Accessibility
The game uses the D-Pad and A and B buttons. The crank can optionally be used as an alternative input. The game is a "turn based" puzzle game and does not require quick inputs. Buttons can be held instead of tapped, or vice-versa.

Ouroboros is another take on the classic game Snake … or is it? The twist here is that your goal is actually to have the snake bite its own tail, which is already a big departure from the classic cellphone game you’re most likely familiar with. But more importantly, the style and pace of play here i
