Full details are in the change log.

The next update coming up is called Pachamama, and has...

We'll let everyone know when we have a better idea of it's release date, but early 2022 seems reasonable at this point.

Thanks again for the support!

Temple of Snek has had it's first update out of beta! v.0.1.7

The first major update is still to come but for now, here's a few little quality-of-life additions, and fixes to minor errors.

It's a great time to dip into the dungeon, if you haven't already ... and remember to leave a review, it really helps!

Improvements since 0.1.2:

• Animated logo on main menu.
  
• Options menu now accessible from the pause screen in Story Mode.
  
• Adjusted camera position in eastern Treasury to highlight a doorway.
  
• Added and alternative route near the Old Dungeon Entrance to avoid a potential softlock should players decide to backtrack.
  
• Area name added to pause-map screen.

Fixes:

• Fixed collision bug in Torture Chambers.
  
• Minor edits to Traditional Chinese and French translations.
  
• Minor update to credits.
  
• Fixed issue where hitting the reset button while passing above or sideways over a checkpoint would restore the previous checkpoint instead of the latest one.
  
• Fixed a potential softlock that could happen in the Guard Rooms, if Snek died while a priestess was holding a door open for her. So rude!
  
• Fixed FOV for ultrawide, super-ultrawide, mega-hyper-wideboi and non-standard aspect ratios.
  
• Fixed issue where trying to unpause the start menu for Classic Mode would start an empty game.
  
• Fixed a divide-by-zero error that would have destroyed the entire universe if the player had looked at the pause map before moving one tile.
  
• Bordered Window size options now include some standard wide and ultrawide sizes by default, in the event that the engine is unable to suggest better options.
  
• Pressing Escape / pause on the Options menu now cancels options and returns to the main menu or the pause menu as you'd expect.
  
• Animated logo now only plays on first loading the game, and a bug where it would pause before completing if it took too long to load is now fixed.
  
• Navigating UI with the keyboard or gamepad now displaces the mouse and avoids the pointer blocking button input. Now also works with Options sub-menu buttons.
  
• Key mappings that have been unbound now stay unbound unless you bind them again.
  
• Fixed issue where it was possible to use fast-mode in one-step mode if you timed it right, which caused problems.
  
• Fixed a one beat delay in snek-cam activing when using one-step mode, which would cause you to crash in tight spaces.
  
• Tapping fast-mode button super fast no longer gets you stuck in fast-mode.
  
• Fixed some missing area name translations that appeared in v.0.1.5.
  
• Experimental tweak to snek growth particles that might reduce reported physics-engine crashes in for long sneks (e.g. Classic Mode).
  
• Experimental minor tweak to water shader to fix black line and pixel artefacts on low quality settings.

I like a good puzzle dungeon. Give me a tiled floor littered with switches and spikes and I'll probably have a merry time.

Temple Of Snek gives me that and more, by crossing those puzzle concepts with the classic rules of Snake. Which are: you are a snake, you are always moving forward, and you get longer the more you eat. Can you wind your way out of each puzzle room before you get long or skewered?
