snake widget

it would be cool to have a clear glads widget that can extend to a phone playin wit the small keys functions on the homepage

Blast from the the past!

Brings back so many childhood memories

добавьте редактор заставок!

приложение супер, идеально для любителей нокиа и ретро. очень хочу увидеть редактор заставок. классические надоедают :D

works okay

wish the snake buttons were more responsive/faster refresh rate. Also wish the widget actually updated to show the actual signal strength. A shortcuts command to refresh the widget so it can be automated would also be very nice. edit: having played it more extensively now, here are a few changes to implement to give it better polish. 1))))) the faster speeds like 8-9 are wayy to fast for a human to play, especially with the laggy control inputs. heck, even on 5 i have it just completely not responding to inputs sometimes. 2))))) in the original game, the score scales with what level you set it at. for example, when set to level 3 a food is worth 3 points but on level 9 its worth 9 points. with them all the same it provides less incentive for players to play at higher levels. 3))))) bonus point bugs dont create a tummy bulge but they do in the original. nor do they cause the snakes mouth to open when one tile away from them. i get that they have different hitboxes than the food but it shouldn’t be that hard to include. 4))))) there is a weird graphical glitch that follows right behind the players head. not sure what that is. 5))))) wish it had the original beeper sound effects for eating food and the dying error noise. 6))))) when you die, it should only say “top score” if its actually the high score. otherwise just “score,” or “your score.” i get that you can check it from leaderboard at anytime, but what about people that dont have a game center account/are not logged it? then its up to them to remember it themselves?? 7))))) the keypad doenst include * or # for left and right turns. Hope this feedback is helpful

Mostly good

Bought for the AppleWatch game. It would be great if they merged it with WatchSnake as both games are great in their own way. WatchSnake has a bigger playing area, it is easy to control via the Digital Crown and it doesn’t have irritating animations. However it can’t go end to end like Retro Widget or be controlled by swiping. Wish the animation was reserved for an actual high score, not just every time you play.
