Later this week, Sumo Digital's latest game, Snake Pass, is due to arrive on the Nintendo Switch eShop. With a soundtrack composed by the renowned David Wise, this inventive new title will aim to mix collect-a-thon elements into a game wherein you control a snake as it slithers across levels. It seems like a pretty cool concept, and we even got to interview Wise a couple weeks back, and now Sumo Digital has posted a new developer diary showing how the game evolved from the initial concept.
Snake Pass started out as a relatively barebones Game Jam project, but the company saw potential in the idea and chose to flesh it out further. The first order of business was bringing in an art team to make the game much "friendlier" and the end result certainly seems to have achieved that goal. Check it out:

Design reminded me of this game from my past
Definitely getting this day one!
Gotta watch that later. I dig this kind of stuff. I will get the game eventualy, as I'm getting more and more curious about it.
@Androgunther Well... snakes aren't exactly susceptible to character design - shape wise. Mainly because they don't have limbs and the long body is what visualy make them... well, snakes ;D
A Sneaky Platformerssss ?
Ssssnakeee......
He said "Dave Poole". I thought he said Deadpool. #disappointment
I like the look of this. Reminds me of the kind of games I used to play back in my Acorn Archimedes days, but obviously a little better looking!
@KiWiiU_Freek Hopefully this game doesn't include any nanomachines.
For people who likes to take things slow
Been so busy with Breath of the Wild forgot there are more games coming to Switch soon.
Snake Pass will likely be my first download game I get on Switch unless Playtonic reveal the Yooka-Laylee release date is 11th April for Switch like the other consoles.
Looks pretty Cool and will almost certainly pick it up eventually but I have Lego City undercover arriving in 2 weeks time so I'm hoping that will keep me busy for a while.
I missed out on the Wii U version for one reason or another so really looking forward to it.
This one charmed me from the start, definitely getting it.
This game looks very different from any other game I've played so will definitely be buying.
That's some really solid art exploration they did for this game. Glad to see the snake's face go through so many iterations for maximum appeal.
@KiWiiU_Freek Hiss-terical!
Looks amazing. Getting it on day 1.
I like the artstyle,
but I want the option to play as normal snek.
Not sure how much value for money there is for the price. I think I'd rather get Lego City Undercover again.
Im one of those who just dont get how this feels to play. But it radiats fun and i really want to try it. David Wise sold it for me.
I just love his wild energy.
Shame it's not physical....this is a game I would have loved to buy physical.
Does anyone know from reviews/interviews/etc how lengthy this game is supposed to be? Trying to figure out if I should play it as my "along side Zelda" game, or save it as a full "retail" type game after I'm done with Zelda.
@Marios-love-child
It's great, you'll thoroughly enjoy it.
Do we know how much it'll be? USD? Nevermind. Found it.
