On the current landing page: "A multiplayer tron-like game... with curves!"
If you say "a XXX like"... people will start thinking and remembering what was XXX.

  • If they liked it, they will try to compare your game to XXX and will never find it as good.
  • If they disliked it, they will immediately think "this game is as shitty as XXX" even before playing it.
  • If they never played XXX they will start browsing Wikipedia... and... well... you know, fell into the Wikipedia page and find themselves reading about the habitat of the holothuria floridana.

Comparing your game to another one is almost always a bad idea.

I didn't really think about it, but it makes perfect sens.

I need to find a way to describe the game without using the words "Tron" and "Snake" though 😥
