SnakeShift

SnakeShift is a turn-based puzzle set in an ancient temple. A living path of connected segments lies across hexagonal stones. Bend that snake, keep every joint linked, and bring the head to the glowing rune. Drag the head onto a neighboring tile, or choose a body joint and rotate the segments around it. The tail stays anchored. If a move would break the chain, cross the body, or leave the board, the temple rejects it and the puzzle stays as it was. A green preview shows a legal turn. A red outline marks a bend that cannot stand. Sixty hand-built levels cross five temples: • Jade Courtyard — learn to bend the head and turn the joints • Amber Mechanism — pegs and matching runes • Moonwater Vault — one-way arrows, fragile tiles, and moon gates • Portal Archive — portals and frozen segments • Eclipse Engine — every temple mechanism together Energy stones stay lit once any segment touches them. Pegs block the way. Arrows accept the head from only one direction. Fragile tiles break when you leave them. Moon tiles open after every stone is lit. Portals carry the head to a paired rune. Frozen segments wait for a switch. Marked segments must finish on the rune that matches them. Each puzzle has a recommended move count and a maximum. Finish at or under the recommendation for three stars. The first hint is free. Further hints lower your star rating. Undo and redo step through your solution, and reset clears both.
