Google offer “humble thanks” to Stadia players with free prototype gameIt’s Snake
It’s Snake
Google Stadia willclose its doors on January 18th. As a parting gift, Google have released the game they built to test the streaming service before the streaming service launched. “Worm Game” is a version of Snake with plenty of levels and modes to try and, of course, it’s playable within your browser.
The Stadia team referred to the release as a “humble thanks” to players of the service:

“Play the game that came to Stadia before Stadia came to the world,” says thedescription on its Stadia page. “‘Worm Game’ is a humble title we used to test many of Stadia’s features, starting well before our 2019 public launch, right through 2022. It won’t win Game of the Year, but the Stadia team spent a LOT of time playing it, and we thought we’d share it with you. Thanks for playing, and for everything.”
You can give Worm Game a try without a Stadia subscription for 180 minutes using your free trial, if you’re curious. For me, it was an illustrative demonstration of Stadia’s challenges: I have mega-quick fibre optic internet, but I still experienced input lag that made playing Worm Game difficult.
