Snake Farm » The Great SNAKE FARM Speedrun Contest!
Hey, snake farmers! I’d like to welcome you to…
What’s speedrunning, you ask? It’s the time-honored practice of playing a video game as fast as possible, then posting a recording of that gameplay on the internet! What’s the prize, you ask? The ability to suggest a new item for the ECONOMIES OF SCALE expansion!
Here’s the deets:
- Join the SNAKE FARM Speedrunning Discord (necessary for contacting the winner)
- The category being run is ALL UPGRADES BASE PACK — Collect all upgrades in the game. Time starts as soon as the main store screen loads and ends the moment you see a store screen that does not offer any upgrades. This can be done either by refreshing the store screen when no upgrades remain, or by finishing a day when no upgrades remain. You may use Endless Mode. Also, as the name implies, this MUST be done with the base pack. Curse pack runs don’t count!
- Also, for fairness and consistency, make sure your monitor’s refresh rate is set to 60hz. The speedrun rules page will tell you how!
- Anytime during the next week (December 5-December 12), upload an ALL UPGRADES BASE PACK run to the SNAKE FARM Speedrun page.
- At the end of that time period, whoever is verified to be in first place will win the prize of getting to suggest a new item!
- Again, make sure to be in that Discord so I can contact you to discuss the new item.
- You will be credited in-game for your contribution. Your speedrunning glory will live on forever!
- I reserve the right to tweak your idea/say “no that sucks/that won’t work because XYZ,” but will otherwise strive to achieve your vision.
- Additionally, the top TEN people to participate will get a spare SNAKE FARM key for sharing with friends and family!
If you’ve never speedrun before, here’s a video on the basics to get you started:

Final note: not only is the SNAKE FARM Speedrunning Discord necessary for me to contact you for the reward, it’s also full of wonderful people who will help you get started. Check it out, even if you’re not interested in the prize!
That’s all for this time! Good luck with the speedrunning, and LET THE GAMESSSSSSSSS BEGIN! 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
