Snake 1997: Classic Retro Game 4.1.1

The snake game was one of the most popular if not the most popular game on old mobile sets. At the time, color screens were not so common and the screen sizes were tiny as compared to the large handheld phones of this day and age. The phones were bigger and heavier and the gaming speed was also nothing to write home about. Yet, there was one game that had captured everyone’s attention and you could find every other mobile user playing that game i.e. the Snake game. The game’s simplicity is what made it a huge success as it worked both on black and white as well as color phone screens. Since the game’s code is simple, it didn’t require much processing and therefore, was very fast-paced too. With multiple gaming modes, there was always something to look forward to as well. The fact that smaller screens meant that there was limited length for the snake to grow made the game quiet challenging too. There have been multiple iterations tried by developers to make the game alive once again on the bigger smartphones. Snake Game by Peaksel Games is another effort in this regard with the developers capturing the original feel of the game to a great extent.

The Snake game keeps it very simple and offers you four different gaming modes or gaming themes. The first theme is unlocked from the get-go and this is the redesigned version of the game. The developers have kept the same theme but have increased the screen size so that there are more chances for your snake to grow bigger. The developers have also done a great job by providing you button based controls so that you get the same feel as you would on your original small phone. There are four buttons available on the screen to move the snake up, down, left and right. There is a vibration associated with each button tap and this is also a great nostalgic moment as older phones used to vibrate whenever the snake changed directions or whenever it ate the food on display. The game developers have done good research in developing the game as all the elements of the original game are present in this theme. Apart from the button based controls and similar vibration, you also get the same challenging gameplay wherein the snake’s movement would get faster as it becomes bigger.

The snake game has three other gaming themes as well but they are locked to begin with. You can either pay the game in order to unlock all of them or you can earn points by playing the game and then unlock them one by one. This is fair bargain on the game’s part as the developers haven’t limited access to the full game but require you to put in the hard yards if you don’t want to pay them any cash.

The game’s second gaming mode is called Retro Snake. This gaming mode is probably the most popular of the lot because it has the highest nostalgic value. The game captures the graphics as well as the color theme perfectly whereas the bigger point item after every five points accumulated is also the same as in the original version of the game. There is a timer associated with the bigger point item and you get more points if you reach the food item quicker. The sound, color scheme and graphics are all the same and therefore, this gaming mode is definitely perfect for old time lovers of the snake game.

Snake on Steroids is the third gaming mode and this is where your hand and eye coordination really gets tested. The snake grows bigger quicker and becomes faster quickly too and therefore, you have to be on your A-game from the get-go. Snake Master is the fourth gaming mode and here the art is to control the movement of the snake throughout the box in such a manner that you avoid the obstacles on the screen too. This one is obviously for master snake players who have total control over their snake’s movements at all times.
