Gameplay

The game uses most of the mechanics of the late 1970s game Snake. The goal consists of taking the balls and throwing them into the hole at the center of the stage. While the game has many variations of gameplay, the main goal stays the same.

Snakeball has a flashy disco graphic style, with stages that are taking places on disco floors. The player can also choose between 16 characters with 8 colors each. The PlayStation Eye camera can be used to snap a picture of the player's face and map it onto one of the riders.
