Serpent Showdown

(Biased since I worked on the game, which also means I have more hours than Steam will ever know) Pretty short experience, but decently fun way to spend 1-2 hours with friends (especially with younger kids) Music is really good. Character designs are nice. but the models are a bit stiff. Lighting is a too little harsh. All the little touches in the art and characters are really cute. Snakes are awesome, and the snake facts are a nice touch. For $5, 7/10 product, and supporting student games is always nice.

Also one of the devs! Great student game with the potential to grow into something larger if the team were to continue. IMO could use matchmaking/custom control binding for easier player access as you currently need 2 controllers and either steam remote play set up, or couch-pvp to enjoy the game. Overall, is easy to pick up and play, tutorial explains all of the mechanics sufficiently, charming art/premise, and a round-robin style tournament with friends in-person is a great bit of fun!

Serpent Showdown is a charming little local two-player fighting game! Some friends of mine worked on it, and I think it's a real gem. [b]Things I love:[/b] - How goofy the vibe is! The snakes are so cute - Simple controls: there are only 2 buttons (and a joystick for movement) and aiming is automatic - Projectiles, defending and parrying add a deceptive amount of depth to matches - Quick rounds: great for a party game (or settling an argument) - The music is super catchy! - Free snake facts on the main menu 🐍 [b]Things that could be better:[/b] - No controller remapping: you can do it in Steam, but that's fiddly and can mess up menu controls - Variety: more stages, or even power-ups could spice up matches - Graphics: on the technical side, shadows cut off close to the camera, and the lighting feels a bit harsh IMO. - Art direction: As mentioned the snakes are so cute - but feels like there's untapped potential to add more texture and cartoony charm to the characters and enviro...
