This is ultimately a 2 - 4 Player variant of Snake where you can jump and dash and that’s really about it. You have an option to change the number of points you’ll play to and the size of the planet to either make the rounds incrementally shorter or longer but that’s all there is. There aren’t options to alter the rules or any tweaks, only the base game “as is”. If the main attraction Party mode in Astro Bears appeals to you, then you’re in luck as it at least does a reasonably good job of providing the means to play some matches with your friends. My kids were slightly more enthused with it than my wife or I were so there’s a chance that with a less hardcore gaming audience it could make a connection. Unfortunately the lack of any real options or alternative modes to change things up makes it an all or nothing proposition. If you really love Snake and games like it with every fiber of your being there may be a good match here for you. If not, I can’t recommend it.
