It is so stupid that one must remove their finger from the screen entirely after making an input in order for the next movement to register in the first place. Why can't I just swipe left and then swipe up, for example. It's not a hard mechanic to add for anyone at least semi-competent at coding to implement. There's is very little this concept has to offer, so a small mistake like this obviously brings a 5 star rating down to 1.

This would be perfect, if it had an option for a simple controller like d-pad. The versions of the d-pad in game are weird and i feel more people would prefer a simi transparent d-pad in a bottom corner. If you guys implement something like this it would be great.

Good game, simple and without ads, but the touch behavior seems inconsistent... i used to play in old nokias using diagonals (3/7 or 1/9) and cannot play that way in this game. Other commands are kinda strange, they are drawn over the game itself... i liked to play in 'snake 97' app but they bloated with ads, maybe you can get some good ideas from there.

Today I was at a restaurant in the countryside waiting for my food. No signal. Figured I'd play a game. I quickly found they all require an Internet connection even though they are single player. Every. Single. One. When I got home I immediately went on a hunt for simple games figuring they would not have the online requirement. Here's one. I put the phone on airplane mode first to make sure. I am not a big snake fan but it's actually more engaging and fun with swipe controls. What a great find!

I love the game !! Its perfect, its exactly what I wanted and it was better than I expected, there no ads, no pay to win and you dont have to give any personal information. It's a perfect game and I definitely recommend it!

It's perfect for a retro game. It's 4 stats since it's a retro game where the pixel movement isn't very accepted by your brain hence. Also control options are all unplayable, except swipe . Overall this game is best played on a PC

Some kind of speed setting would be nice, I feel like it's too fast starting out compared to the retro snake games this is based on. Using the entire phone aspect ratio as a playfield is a little awkward as well, I personally feel it works better in a square playfield. The dpad is a nice touch. It could be better, but it works and it's just snake, nothing else. That's what I was looking for.

..actually 4 stars. I'm rating 5 cuz unlike most Snake games you can play offline; No ads; Simple. ONE slight critique / fix (?) : D-pad should be a small in-the-corner thing and not so large on the screen (H-pad is gigantic!).

It's exactly what I was looking for. No adds and there is easy, medium, and hard mode amd they keep your top scores. Just basic snake and it's exactly what I wanted!

Amazing game devs! I actually liked it unlike other users. Although the touch controls are a bit hard to use but other then that everything else is perfect! Also I noticed that everyone is saying that the game runs at 5 fps but I didint have a problem with this and its not so bad. Im pretty sure it is part of the game because it says "Retro Snake". Like I said great game devs!
