Low-poly 3D snake with physics

[fierce tangle]

There’s an idea to create an elastic 3D snake in Unity. It will have physics and move in a wavy, slithering way. Along its path, there will be various obstacles it must crawl through. The camera view will be third-person. The snake can also jump (a forward-upward dash). When it eats food, it grows in size.

There’s a reference video showing how the snake should look.

However, the snake and the entire game will have a low-poly style.

Could you please explain how to create such physics and graphics?

Looks Good

Likely many sphere rigidbodies linked via joints, or possibly a script that does something similar.

You can try your luck at Unity's joints, but usually stuff like this you may want a more custom solution which I'd probably attempt using physical bones via armature

VFX graph too has some new collisional support which I've seen do some neat stuff like a spider build so that could be an option
