About the game

Steer a growing electric serpent through a packed arena.

Coil Chaos is a portrait arcade survival game with no attack button. The serpent always moves forward and its whole body is electrified, so where you steer is how you fight. Sweep past an enemy to wound it, or close a loop around a crowd and everything inside takes an Enclose burst.

Each run starts small and outnumbered and ends as a tangle of lightning and near misses. Runs last a few minutes, and the next one is less than a second away.

Features

What it does

Movement is the attack

Enemies that touch your body take shock damage every quarter second. Only the head can be hurt, so the art is keeping it out of trouble while the rest of you does the work.

Enclose

Cross your own tail to close a loop and everything caught inside takes a burst. Crossing yourself never kills you here. It is the whole point.

Three kinds of trouble

Chasers swarm the head. Rammers line up a dash you can block with your body. Pylons sit still and fire slow orbs that your coils can absorb.

Upgrades that drop on the board

Level up and two upgrade boxes land in the arena. Grab Quick Current for speed, Long Tail for bigger loops, Tight Coil for stronger bursts or Conductive Scales to chain shocks.

One thumb, two ways to steer

Drag anywhere with a floating stick, or hold the left and right sides of the screen to turn. Switch whenever you like from the start or pause screen.

Readable at a glance

The whole arena stays on screen and every enemy has its own shape and motion, so a ten-second clip makes sense to someone who has never played.
