OUROBIT

Gobble. Grow. Combo. Crash.

OuroBit is a 1-bit arcade snake game wrapped around a tiny planet.

Circle the globe, gather Orbs and grow into an increasingly ridiculous world serpent. The longer you get, the faster things move, the tighter the planet becomes, and the more likely you are to discover that your biggest problem is... you.

Jump your own trail. Chain Orbs into combos. Weave OVER and UNDER your body. Hunt temporary Orbs. Unlock Double Jump. Push your score, your length and your luck.

Then, inevitably, CRASH.

But your run doesn't disappear.

Every game leaves behind a unique planet tangled in the trail you created. Spin it around, inspect the damage, then export your world as an animated GIF and share your score with #OuroBit.

THERE IS NO END... ?

There is no edge. There is no finish line. There is only more of you.

How much snake can one tiny planet take?

TWO WAYS TO PLAY

OUROBIT The full 360° experience. Steer freely around the planet, jump, Double Jump, build combos and cross your increasingly complicated trail.

CLASSIC Old-school Snake rules on a very non-old-school surface. No jumping. Ground Orbs only. Sharp 90° turns. One planet. One growing problem.
