Most tower defense games have you placing towers. In The Snake Is the Tower, you become them.

Every segment of your snake is a living weapon, lasers, shields, slowing fields, AOE blasts, all firing automatically as you slither across the battlefield. Your job? Position. Grow. Merge. Survive.

Grow the Perfect Living Weapon

Build a focused laser chain, a defensive shield wall, or experiment with hybrid synergies. No two runs play the same.

Watch Your Power Compound

Adjacent matching towers automatically merge into stronger variants, Tier 1 becomes Tier 2, then 3, then 4. Position your snake to line up merges and watch your damage multiply.

Permanent Progression Between Runs

Unlock philosophies that change how you play. Activate skill matrix cells for permanent stat boosts. Each failed run makes the next one stronger.

Satisfying Physics Feedback

The grid warps with every explosion and impact. Enemies scatter. Your snake weaves through the chaos. It just feels good.

Think while you move.

Place support towers next to offensive ones for synergy. Time your merges during lulls between waves. Balance greed (collecting more orbs) against safety (staying in controlled territory). The Snake Is the Tower rewards players who plan, but the waves won't wait for you to figure it out.
