Gameplay
The Sky Serpent will attempt to throw the player off of its back before the player can stab each of its joints and kill it. If the player is thrown off, they will take some amount of damage and be thrown back into the air for another chance at killing the Sky Serpent. The serpents move at different speeds and have all sorts of natural weapons such as spikes, fireballs, and glue. There are ways to counteract these different natural capabilities.

Levels
On each level in Sky Serpents, the player has to slay a different sky serpent. =Trivia=
 * Sky Serpents may had been inspired by the last story in the Norse tale Beowulf. In the last story, Beowulf has to slay a giant blue worm. Some of his attacks are stabbing down on the worm, and holding on to it.
 * Sky Serpents is the goriest Nitrome game ever made. Because of the blood shed when the weak spots are hit, and the intensely high amount of blood spewed when the creature is killed, ranks it the bloodiest Nitrome game. Graveyard Shift comes in second, with Parasite in third. The only nitrome game to include real blood is on level 6 (vampires) of Pixel Pop.
 * The short Sky Serpent video shown in the games section of Nitrome.com shows no blood when the weak spot is struck; or when the Serpent is slayed. This is probably becuase showing blood in the video would draw people away from the game.
