Full description

Play Snake like it is 1997. This is a remake of the original Snake, complete with dot-matrix display and monotone sounds. Rewind time and get a dosis of nostalgia that is as addictive (and frustrating) as the original. Play Snake '97 and be prepared to lose some productive hours. Simply launch the app, touch a button and start! Snake '97 features: - old school controls - dot-matrix display - original monotone sounds (bleep bleep) - 9 original and 3 extra difficulty levels - Snake 1 and classic Snake 2 - 7 classic game modes (5110, 3210, 8210, 8850 and 3310, 3410 and 7110 with Snake 2) - bonus creatures (Snake 2) - go through the walls! (Snake 2) - 5 original and 2 extra labyrinths (Snake 2) - a high score that cannot be reset (just like the original) The story behind this game is that my smartphone got damaged, requiring me to revert back to an old phone. Suddenly I knew the smartphone was missing something and the idea for a accurate Snake remake was born. Snake '97 is an homage to the classic mobile phone game programmed in 1997. By carefully analyzing the classic gameplay, timing and controls, this Snake '97 remake is one of the most accurate available. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to contact me. Have Snake fun! Best regards from Amsterdam, The developer, Willem.

What's new

Game over got a whole lot more interesting! Every game now tracks your stats: duration, course corrections, near deaths, distance traveled, and snake length. A new Stats screen lets you dig into your all-time records, personal bests per phone model, recent games, and 27 challenges to unlock across 7 categories. All measurements use real-world units: your Snake's length in centimeters/inch, distance in meters/feet.
