### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2022-12-03, version 1.0*

First of all the Snake goes so fast too fast way too fast I can’t keep up with it. Second of all The grid is way to small it should be like a 
40/40.

### 1/5 — Worst game

*2018-10-09*

Just awful in every aspect of the game really

### 1/5 — NEEDS WORK —  A LOT OF WORK

*2017-10-27, version 1.0*

Super buggy and horrible controls. 
Instead of turning left or right, like the original, you turn clockwise or counterclockwise (which sounds the same, but often ends up sending the snake in the opposite direction you intended). 
That would be bad enough, but the app doesn’t even work consistently. It got really fast all of the sudden (had lost, not gone up a level). Then, got nonstop “Try Again” pop-ups — had to force close the app.

### 2/5 — Very laggy

*2017-01-02, version 1.0*

It's too laggy on the Apple Watch and it does not say what the controls are, if that was to be fixed, it would be better
