Evaluation

Auto Snakes in Outer Space launched on January 20, 2026. The developer followed with a v1.06 patch on January 23, 2026, which was mostly bug fixes, and a v1.07 update on February 6, 2026 that added a Perk system, five new Prestige tiers, and new Clusters and Singularities mechanics. The February 6 post was labeled the first major update, but it does not name any follow-up content. The only DLC listed is a soundtrack, released February 10, 2026. The last developer communication was on February 6, 2026, and no further content has been announced since then. Based on that single post-launch content update and the developer's silence since February 6, 2026, the game appears to have reached its finished state, with the soundtrack as its last release.

About this game

Grow a Colorful Colony

Relax with Auto Snakes in Outer Space! A slow, meditative, and mesmerizing incremental idler where colorful snakes automatically collect food. The player's goal is to make them more efficient.

Increase your snakes’ speed and food supply. Unlock abilities and upgrades. Complete tasks to unlock new skins. Prestige for permanent perks. Beat the game to Unlock Endless Mode.

Play how you want!

  • A challenge run with only one snake? Go for it.

  • All snakes and no abilities? That's fine, too.

  • One snake and no speed upgrades? Okay... Sure.

Passive Gameplay, Active Gameplay - Both!

Let your snakes passively collect food. Or, take command and guide them with your cursor.

Snakes even get slightly magnetic while being guided, attracting nearby food. Scientific!

Choose from over 150 skins to find your style

Be colorful! (Or monochrome, we've got those skins too.)

Unlock skins by completing in-game tasks. Assign the skins at random, or add them to your favorites.

We've got...

  • Dozens of in-game tasks — Progress bars go up!

  • Over 150+ skins — Closer to 200!

  • Eight unique abilities — Auto-cast is optional.

  • Prestige Mechanics — Reset progress for long term gain.

  • (Theoretical) Endless Mode — Make your computer mad!

  • A piano, playable with your keyboard — Because it's fun!
