Killer Snake

Its hiss is worse than its bite

by Jon Mundy 6/3/2013

You know that feeling you get when you know your friend or partner is hiding behind the door, waiting to jump out at you?

Or when you're playing slapsies (look it up) and you just know a stinging blow is coming your way?

Knowing that such mildly unpleasant experiences are coming does nothing to lessen your jitteriness. In fact, if anything it makes it all the more thrilling.

In Killer Snake, Copenhagen Creators has built en entire game around this simple psychological fact.

Gets you rattled

Here it's not a mischievous acquaintance or a playground game that's handing out the thrills - it's a bunch of the world's most deadly snakes. ...

An effective gimmick and an entertaining reaction test, but Killer Snake barely has enough to it to warrant the 'game' label
