The WhatsNext verdict

For Puzzle lovers and families looking for smart, accessible spatial brainteasers without the punishing difficulty of the original game.: Snakebird Primer takes the brilliant physics and body-twisting rules of Snakebird and unpacks them through a gentle, beautifully paced series of bite-sized puzzles that reward experimentation. Tradeoff: Veterans seeking the brutal, brain-melting trial-and-error of the original Snakebird may find this gentle onboarding ramp too straightforward and brief.
