Ads vs gameplay is just. *chef’s kiss*
“Premium” currency, if you even want to call it that, can be obtained in VERY fair amounts without spending a dime or suffering through countless ads. You only need 10 gems to buy a new egg (to unlock a random Snake Part) and it’s exciting every single time. The skins/Snake Part sets are fun and nice to look at; different without being tacky or unoriginal. I love the style of the game, it’s cute and simple, but not to the extent that it’s uninteresting. No, not at all.
It’s engaging— I won’t say “addicting” because that word gets tossed around far too much (and frankly detracts from the actual disease of addiction, but that’s another conversation.) This game can be put down relatively easily (this is coming from someone with ADHD, whose brain innately has a hard time switching tasks) but never gets boring. The random layout of rooms, the steadily growing challenge of how to move as you grow longer, the little puzzles, even the cursed rooms— it’s just the right amount of difficulty to keep you engaged and interested without raging.
I played this game years ago and only re-downloaded it the other day, and it’s just as fun as I remember. I know lots of people say “I never write reviews but—“ but I don’t, usually. Even for games I like. But when the little thing in the game came up and said “Do you want to give Snake Towers a review?” I realized that yes… I actually do.
I could go on. I know a lot of people won’t read a review this long, but for the sake of getting it out of my system, I have more to say.
The lack of words. I appreciate that. As someone who is part of the disabled community, I’ve come to realize more and more that apps heavily laden with unnecessary wordage are difficult for some. I really like that Snake Towers has clear goals and controls without lengthy instructions. Visually engaging without being overstimulating; enjoyable; easy to play; small, obtainable, satisfying goals; VERY good balance of ads-to-gameplay; reasonable but exciting power-ups…
Oh, and if that weren’t enough, you can mix-and-match parts of skins.
TL;DR: Good for people of all skill levels, ADHD/Autsim-friendly, no annoying ads, no need to spend money except to support the developers. Get it.
