Snak Peak

Climb PEAK as a Bugsnax Grumpus. Catch snax with Bugsnax's own Trap-Snap and sauces, eat them, and watch your arms, legs, nose and hat turn into food, changing how you climb. After the beach's campfire, the climb continues on Snaktooth Island's Sugarlump Rocks, then it's back to PEAK.

How it plays

• You are a Grumpus. Each scout in the lobby is a different one of the 12 (Filbo, Wambus, Chandlo, Beffica and the rest): their own bodies, outfits, hats, animations and voices. In first person you see your own arms, and what they turned into.
• All 101 Bugsnax roam the mountain, each where its Bugsnax home fits (beach snax on the beach, Snaktooth's mountain snax up in the Alpine). They keep their traits: aggressive ones charge, flying ones hover, evasive ones flee, burrowing ones dig in, and frosty or spicy ones freeze or burn you on touch.
• Trapping: T sets a Trap-Snap (up to 2). Y picks a sauce and G throws it. Snax that like that sauce come running and walk into your trap. Press Interact to take the snak, then H to eat it.
• Transformations: every snak you eat turns one body part into that snak, the Bugsnax way. Its taste and traits change you: Meaty arms climb faster, Sweet legs run faster, Flying legs jump higher, a Frosty head shrugs off heat but feels the cold more. Its calories feed you.
• Snaktooth Island: light the beach's campfire and everyone is taken to Sugarlump Rocks, rebuilt from Bugsnax with its own snax. Reach its summit and everyone returns to the campfire to carry on up PEAK.
• Co-op in PEAK's lobbies, up to 4 scouts.

Needs

PEAK and Bugsnax, both through Steam. Nothing from either game is in the download. On first Play, a setup (about 30 seconds) reads the Grumpuses, snax, tools, Sugarlump Rocks and sounds from your own Bugsnax into a local cache (about 340 MB, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SnakPeak\cache). Neither game's files are changed.

Keys

T Trap-Snap · G throw sauce · Y next sauce · H eat · Interact (PEAK's) take a snak from a trap.
