- Game starts at full speed
Pretty fun replaying this game
Fun game if you played this 20+ years ago it’s the same nostalgic
Shady
They are selling your data to companies above 100 forcing you to consent
Love this game
But it starts too fast
Really buggy.
so first i could only go down and right and not left and up and second if you play a map with borders that kill you when collided then its unplayable
Please add keyboard/controller support!
Great reproduction of the classic Snake game. However, using touchscreen controls is a bit unwieldy for Snake. It would be great if keyboard/controller support was added!
The Only Game You Need
I don’t have any games on my iPhone, not much of a mobile gamer, but I make an exception for this blast from the past. Great app. Thanks to the developer for this labour of love.
Why?
Updated and ruined a perfectly good app by adding long, invasive video ads after every game. The app was fine for 15 years. Why change it? How sad.
It’s fine
It is good just the controls are a bit confusing but it’s a good game over all
I don't recommend it.
Really didn't like the interface.
Bug
Hat leider ein bug die letzten zwei Steine kommen einfach nie😒
Please add option to lock settings button while playing.
Thank you for this outstanding retro game. It would be great if there was an option to lock settings options while playing as I consistently press on it while playing.
Who gave the snake crack?
Cleary dudes never ACTUALLY played snake when hes got it starting off on full speed…
Fun but too many ads
Really like this game, and scratches the itch to return to the snake games from my youth, but too many ads between games means I will probably abandon this at some point
Je n'ai pas
Je n'ai pas beaucoup aimé, les commandes sont compliquées, l'interface est étrange.
1997 throw back
Great memory feel like the past was entering a new faze👍🏼.
Love it - great nostalgia
Brings back great memories of playing this on my mom’s cell while we did errands. Good times!
It doesn’t work
When I click the phone and then the phone agian it brings me to the game but then I click and it brings me back to the phones???
Just like the old school games
It has every version of snake and on all the different model phones, pretty cool. It does make you watch add’s every time you die, which kinda sux.
Anticlimactic
I beat the game and there was no ouroboros end state. Just a final apple that failed to materialize. Very anticlimactic.
Ads
I’d love an option for lifetime no ads. Please don’t make this subscription based.
👎🏻Werbung
Viel zu viel und viel zu lange Werbung
I love this game
I love this game so much!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How to make your game better!!
Ok so I love the game but I think it needs a few other things like first off im my opinion you should add power up’s because that would make the game better and cooler second off I think the game should be bigger because it’s not hard at all so some people want it to be harder third off I think you should add levels to the game so we can test how good we are at the game . I hope I help you guys make your game better
Nostalgic
This game brings me back to a time when things were a little more simple, boredom was inevitable, and games like this actually kept one’s attention.
worst game i’ve ever seen
can’t even use the controls 💀
Nice game😀
I wanted to try to get a retro version of Snake on my iPhone and this game is fantastic but the only problem is that there are a little to much ads but overall it’s really entertaining, fun, and kind of addictive.
Solid game but ATT?!
I’m an iOS developer and there’s no reason you should be using App Tracking Transparency in this app. Makes me think it’s just some spyware now
🤩🤩🤩
I like it!
Ein Tutorial wär mein Wunsch
Ich komme am Anfang nicht mit der Steuerung klar da einem nicht drauf hingewiesen wird wo man das Spiel abbricht oder das Nokia aus wählt oder wo man die Schlange bewegt aber alles im einem ein gutes Spiel nur ein kleines Tutorial wäre gut
Snake ‘97: retro phone classic
Great game, takes me back. lol
SalmonBoy’s Snake Review
Pretty fun when you’re bored, but not the best mobile game there is
Amazing game
Brought back good memories
SOS
What is this game do not get it you can’t delete it!!!! #sos #malwere
BRO 4 stars because no nokia magic max but i like (っ˘ڡ˘ς)
The first one is hard ⚀1 BUT A Super GOOD GAME ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (: (: (: (: ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉლ(´ڡ`ლ)ヽ(^o^)丿
Not to bad
It’s a nice game to play when you’re bored but the ads drag it down. Over all it’s extremely fun and I always come back.
Nostalgic and fun
It’s a extremely good game and the controls are 1abc=up/left and 9xyz=down/right but it’s also sooooo fun and brings me back to the good old days
Annoying ads
I don’t remember having to watch an ad after every game or two on my Nokia. Please at least give us the option to buy an ad free version!
The good ole days
Bit of nostalgia for us “old” folks who fondly remember the Nokia 3310 and the best and I think the only game you could get.
Enjoy this app but it’s got bugs
There is one particular bug that the screen randomly resizes - pretty frustrating when you are doing well and your controls move!
Awesome
The adds are really the only downside but the emulation is amazing
Lool
Bescheuert einfach
Back once again
Really basic game that ive been playing since the 1990's when this was the only game worth playing. Great recreation and as addictive as ever!
Alright
Relatively cool remake of each phones snake
