### 1/5 — Save your money

*2016-10-15*

Game doesn't work for iPad.....No joystick anywhere to control the snake.

### 1/5 — Accurate controls

*2016-04-21*

Just like an authentic, ancient, crumbling Nibbler console, it insists you did not actually move the joystick on time, every time. Totally frustrating and now I'm mad I spent a dollar.

### 1/5 — Bad controls extremely slow game

*2014-10-28*

Nothing like the original Nibbler.  This game stinks.  The controls are awful and plays extremely slow.  I don't recommend this Nibbler.

### 2/5 — Good Game.  Bad Controls

*2014-07-27*

I've looked for this game for years.  I was very excited to see it finally in the app store.  There are a lot of "snake" games but none that include the Pac-Man style maze.  This game holds true to the original arcade version of nibbler.  But the swipe to control is very lacking.  Makes it nearly impossible to play.  If they could add a d-pad or something  so you could control the snake without swiping this would be an awesome game.  Until then I think I would pass on this game.
