A blast from the past!

I don't know how all of a sudden this game started trending. Could it be through word of mouth, just how Flappy Bird went unnoticed for 3 years then become a big hit? I don't know. But you gotta give props to the dev for bringing back the nostalgia we all got as a 90s kid. This is easily the best port of Snake on the App Store and probably the last that will ever be this good ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’ฏ

WOW!

I remember when I was 7 and this game came out and I use to play it on my Nokia and I was UPSEST then the iPhone came out and that changed everything and I can't find my Nokia so I can't play the snake game NOW I HAVE IT!!! And it's even available in a Nokia mode so it's like your using a Nokia while playing the snake game. ANYWAYS AWESOME GAME AND IDEA!!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Awesome

Really great I enjoy nice and simple, works great on my iPhone 7 and I really enjoy the different choices for background (the vintage cell phone look. I really enjoy and it reminds me of my child hood and hopefully more people get to reminisce a bit! And the best part it's free even though the App Store says "buy."

Throw back perfection

I'm a big fan of old school games, and that includes phones. I love how both of the old phones I owned are available here to play on. To me, it's exactly like I remember, from the set up, the sounds, the actually phone set-up, it's perfect for a nostalgic throw back to a simple game to pass time.

Awesome games

Total five star only because you can pick your own kind of gameplay. I do wish they would increase the speed of your snake. I also wish they would make gems you can get to unlock snake skins for your snake. I would finally enjoy it if you could have different backgrounds. But I still give this game five stars. Keep up the good work gamers๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€.

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜†OMG!! Hello old friend!!

Ah, the old classic, perfectly retrofitted for new technology. So many good memories! Thanks dsd!
I used to love this game on my old Nokia 3110 (my very first mobile phone) when I was in high-school back in 2005, ๐Ÿ˜„ and now 12 years later, I've been reunited with both my old phone (thanks to the image, screen, and sound effects) and an old favourite game.
(*sniff*) It's like seeing an old dear friend again after losing contact for so long...

IT WORKS PERFECTLY on my new-tech iPad Air! Thankyouthankyouthankyou THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Love this retro app!!

This is the best retro app I've downloaded on my iPhone since I used to play on my parent's phones! Unlike brick breaker which has gotten so many remakes very different from the original at least this game actually looks more retro and is very fun ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ•น๐Ÿ“Ÿ๐Ÿ“บ

Best retro app for the iPhone

If you want the feeling of playing the mainstream games of the 90's cell phones, this game gives you the experience right down to the number pad! This game's nod to the Nokia 3310, from the simulated lcd pixels to the "frog" ring tone played when losing, to the inclusion of snake 2 in this awesome throw back package. If I wasn't mistaken, I'd almost think this was the original thing from a screenshot. The only thing missing is an actual Nokia interface, which would be an awesome Easter egg if implemented. My only complaint is the annoying adds, but hey, what app doesn't have those am I right?

Nostalgia Bomb!

I work for Verizon Wireless, and have been selling phones since 1998. I've witnessed the birth of the smartphone, text messaging, mobile internet, color screens, etc. I was always a massive fan of Nokia, and their products. I miss the days when T9 input was considered cutting edge tech. This app brings back good memories. Works great, and the option to use different phone models is a huge bonus! Sure, you get a fairly simple advertisement after each game, but the app costs nothing, and app development isn't free, so there's really nothing to complain about. Whoever had the idea to bring this game back, I tip my hat to you. Thank you!

Whaaatttt!!!

I'll take it. Flaws and all. I think what causes some of the issues with response is you're no longer feeling the button to press since now it's just a screen. Maybe it'd be better if they could widen the area considered the button no matter it's size?
