Evaluation

SNAKE FARM launched on September 5, 2023 and received two major free content expansions after launch. The first, "The Curse of Ramona," shipped on October 31, 2023, adding a new game pack, endless mode, new snakes, items, and achievements. The second, "Economies of Scale," shipped on January 8, 2024, doubling the content again with two additional game packs (the Worm Pack and Chaos Pack), more snakes, items, and achievements. After the Economies of Scale update, the developer's attention shifted entirely toward a sequel. On July 25, 2024, the developer announced SNAKE FARM 2: FISH FEAR ME. An anniversary patch on August 30, 2024 added controller improvements and Steam Trading Cards to SNAKE FARM, but framed this as a one-year celebration alongside promotion for the sequel — not a signal of ongoing content development for this game. The sequel launched on February 21, 2025. There have been no announcements of further content for SNAKE FARM itself, no unreleased DLC in the store listing, and no developer statements suggesting additional updates are planned. The sequel's announcement post noted the developer had taken "every lesson learned from SNAKE FARM" and put them into the new game, reinforcing that SNAKE FARM's development arc is complete. The last substantive update to SNAKE FARM was Economies of Scale on January 8, 2024, and the developer has moved on to the sequel.

About this game

OIL IS LIFE - LIFE IS MONEY - MONEY IS DEATH


IT IS THE YEAR FIFTY THOUSAND AND YOU ARE A SNAKE FARMER WITH TEN DAYS TO LIVE. BUY SNAKES, WATCH THEM BURST FROM THE GROUND, AND FIGHT THEM TO THE DEATH WITH GARDENING TOOLS. SELL THEIR OIL AND TEETH FOR RARER SNAKES AND BETTER WEAPONS. OIL IS LIFE; LIFE IS MONEY; MONEY IS DEATH. YOUR ONLY LEGACY WILL BE A HIGH SCORE.

OIL IS LIFE

SNAKE FARM is a top-down, Vampire Survivors-style action roguelike that lets you set your own challenges. Buy snakes to fight, then use their remains to buy stronger snakes and better weapons. You decide your enemies, pushing your luck every round in pursuit of exponential growth. You only have ten days to live; make sure every one counts.

LIFE IS MONEY

With forty upgradable pieces of equipment across four themed game modes, from deadly throwing trowels to tractors that hate you, each run's build can go a different direction. Will you rely on high-risk headshots with a pitchfork? Igniting your own oil supply to explode snakes? Freezing your enemies with a high-power hose? As your farm fills with snakes, only smart build-crafting can keep you alive.

MONEY IS DEATH

Eventually you'll make a mistake. You'll get too greedy, buy too many snakes, get cornered and destroyed. With each new run, you learn a little more, get a little further, get a better score. The more you go, the more you realize that your truest enemy is your own hubris.
