Rubber Reptile
Players drag a stretchy, rubber-bodied snake through pin-studded puzzle boards, twisting it around obstacles to grab prey and reach the goal. A fresh spin on the flex-pin format — same tactile, satisfying pull-and-release feel, only slithery.

How it plays
Elastic Pull-and-Release
Players pull the snake’s head with a finger; the body stretches like elastic and snaps back when released, creating natural whip and coil motion.
Pin-Board Puzzle Layouts
Each level is a board of pins the snake must weave through, wrap around, or avoid, forcing players to plan the shape of the stretch before releasing.
Prey Collection Objective
Frogs, bugs and eggs sit at fixed points; the snake must touch each one during its stretch to clear the level with a full-eat rating.
Stretch-Limit Physics
The body has authored elasticity limits — overstretch and the snake snaps back early, teaching players to pace pulls instead of yanking.
Obstacle & Hazard Variety
Later boards add spikes, moving pins and locked cages that only open after specific eats, layering timing on top of shape puzzles.
Snake Skin Collectibles
Collectible skins (viper, python, cobra, neon) each have subtle stretch curves, letting players pick a snake that matches their feel preference.
Star Rating & Attempts
Levels score one to three stars based on prey eaten and pull attempts used, rewarding both completion and elegant single-pull solutions.
Themed World Progression
A themed world map (jungle, desert, temple, neon city) unlocks progressively, gating harder pin layouts behind clean-run milestones.
Rubber physics engineered to feel alive
The Challenge
A soft-body snake that stretches, wraps around pins, and snaps back naturally — while staying tap-responsive, deterministic across replays, and cheap enough to render at 60 FPS on entry-level phones.
The Approach
The snake body is a chain of constrained joints solved analytically instead of a full soft-body simulation. Pin interactions use precomputed wrap arcs so the visual coil matches the physics without expensive collision solves. Stretch limits are enforced by a stiffness curve, and rendering uses a skinned mesh over the joint chain instead of per-frame mesh deformation.
The Result
The snake feels alive and rubbery, wraps naturally around every pin, and snaps back with satisfying weight — the exact tactile loop the flex-pin genre is built on, tuned for a reptile.
