VENOMRUN

**Every orb is a decision. Every death makes you stronger.**

VENOMRUN takes the snake you know and injects it with venom. Slide through the pit eating ember orbs — and every 5 orbs, the run pauses for a SURGE: pick 1 of 3 mutations that rewrite how you play. Stack Magnet Coils with Venom Fang. Cheat death with Aegis Scale, then cheat it again with Second Skin. No two runs build the same snake.

And death isn't the end. Every run earns venom, and venom buys permanent upgrades in the Den: longer tails, faster blood, iron skin from the very first bite.

**How it plays:**

- Arrow keys / WASD to steer. Swipe on touch.

- Eat ember orbs to grow and score.

- Every 5 orbs triggers a SURGE — tap or press 1-3 to pick a mutation.

- Mutations: magnet pull, shields, ghost phasing, double points, slow-mo, revives.

- Walls and your own tail kill — unless a mutation says otherwise.

- Spend earned venom in the Den on permanent upgrades between runs.

**What's inside:**

- Classic snake, rebuilt as a roguelite — run mutations + meta progression

- 7 mutations with real synergies to discover

- The Den: 4 permanent upgrade tracks bought with earned venom

- Best score, venom bank, and upgrades saved on your device

- Fully synthesized audio — bites, surges, deaths

- Keyboard and touch (swipe) support
