Pretty good for free

As the other reviewers have noted, there are a few glitches in it. My biggest issue is that there doesn’t seem to be a reliable way to pause the game in progress when you switch out of the app; sometimes it will resume when you com back, sometimes it’ll be a new game.
I’m not against adds after each game; however, be aware some of the adds are video adds, which are very annoying and intrusive. The audio of one add continued playing even after I dismissed it, and would continue to play every time the app was opened. I had to restart my iPhone to finally get it to stop.
I’d happily pay a little for an add-free version.
Other than that, it’s enjoy and just as addicting as it was in the 90’s.

Fond Memories of Nokia and Snake

I had several Nokia phones through my early cell phone years. I loved them. One of my fondest memories was playing snake on everyone of my Nokia phones. This app works great. It is from a time of more simple, early technology. But then I am
still a fan of the original Atari type games, also, rather than the more sophisticated action games. Thanks for the fun memories and bringing back a fun game. It helps pass the time when waiting around in a waiting room or in a line somewhere.

Takes be back

Takes me back to when I was a teen!

A BLAST FROM THE PAST!!!

I can't tell you all how much I love this! It's an absolute blast from the past. This is seriously THE BEST app on my phone!! It al it's makes me want to ditch my iPhone for the classic Nokia 3360. Everything in this game is exactly as the original. The UI, the sounds, everything. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME!

Addictive

Still as addictive as the original, but feels a bit more lenient then the original when hitting walls, seems to give you a second and a half to turn when you've hit the wall. Not gonna mark it down for this as it might just be me remembering something different. Good retro game

Just what I've been looking for!

Don't mess with perfection :)
I've been looking for classic snake since I last got rid of my Nokia over a decade ago, but all the games tried to tart it up too much. This is simple and effective with all the same noises. Even the control scheme is perfect because, rather than trying to graft on new controls, they just give you a face number-pad interface in a mimic of the old phones.
A nice surprise was there being multiple 'phones' you could pick, each loaded with that phone's slightly updated version of snake.

The nostalgia is real.
But it's still a genuinely great little game.

Yes! I'm in high school again

This app is amazing. I feel like I am back in school and enjoying playing on my phone. Love how you can choose different handsets and different levels just like you could back in the day. Love this app!

A faithful translation

My current go to game when trying to pass the time when I'm too exhausted to read. There is something mesmerising about how the snake twists and turns, and unlike most games your only enemy in snake is yourself. So while it's a time critical fairly stressful game it's also kind of zen too.

Amazing game!

This game is absolutely amazing! I love how the buttons are placed to suit your split second reactions and also how you can switch between being able to go through walls and whether you have mazes or not. I also love the fact that you can change the speed of the snake!

I have given this game a four star as there is one small problem: there is no pause button! I've lost count of the number of times I have had to start again because I've had to answer a message. If the makers of this amazing game added a pause button then it would be absolutely top notch.

Nostalgia

Friggin love this app. Reminds me of the old days when I literally only had a phone to play this game.
