Lore & Background
Snakeball was developed by Gamoola Soft, a short-lived game development arm of British animation studio Gamoola. Published by Sony Computer Entertainment, it was released exclusively on the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 3 in 2007. The game adapts the mechanics of the late 1970s game Snake into a 3D environment, where players collect balls and throw them into a central hole on disco-floor stages.
Reader's Guide
Snakeball received mixed reviews according to Metacritic. Its significance lies in being a modern, multiplayer take on the classic Snake formula, incorporating a flashy disco aesthetic and PlayStation Eye camera support for face mapping. The game offered three main modes: Snakeball (with 10 variations), Challenge (14 levels), and Ball Frenzy (10 levels). A downloadable Team Mode was added in May 2008. While not a critical standout, it represents an attempt by a British animation studio's game division to create a party game for the PlayStation 3 digital storefront.
