About Anaconda

A horror inversion of the classic snake game where you play as the lurking beast hunting partygoers in the dark. Built with Rive CLI.

Instead of a harmless reptile munching apples, you control a monstrous mythical serpent slithering through the grounds of an opulent Halloween costume gala. The partygoers carry lanterns and flashlights that illuminate the garden walkways.

Stay cloaked within the tall grass and shadowy hedges. Stalk unsuspecting revelers and strike when they wander away from lighted paths, growing longer and faster with each victim while avoiding police searchlights and armed guards.

Folarin Pearse created Anaconda for the Rive Halloween Challenge using the Rive CLI. The game flips the traditional arcade Snake formula into a tense top-down stealth horror experience rendered through fluid vector art.
